Cynthia Nixon believes her feisty
character on Sex and the City “would rather shoot herself in
the head than vote for Mitt Romney.”
Nixon, who played lawyer Miranda Hobbes
for 6 seasons on the HBO dramedy, made the comment during an
interview with Melony Torres of 102JamzOrlando.
“I think Miranda Hobbes would rather
shoot herself in the head than vote for Mitt Romney,” she
said. “Mitt Romney is so terrible on women's issues.”
The 46-year-old Nixon added that the
show's other ladies would feel the same.
“I know that there are women who
support him, and it's hard for me to understand, but certainly
Miranda nor Carrie nor Charlotte nor Samantha, none of those women
would ever vote for Mitt Romney. They would do something terrible
first before they would ever vote for Mitt Romney,” Nixon said.
Nixon, who
married her wife Christine Marinoni earlier this year, praised
the president for his support for gay rights.
“You know, everybody used to say
about Bill Clinton that he was the first African-American president,
but I think that Barack Obama is the first gay president. My wife
and I got married this May – and I know it took him a little while
to get there, but the fact that he came out fully for marriage
equality for all Americans – we've never had a president come
anywhere close to that. And I know that if we can keep him in there
for another four years, we're gonna see the repeal of the Defense of
Marriage Act.”
