Cynthia Nixon's 'Forgettable' Past in Anti-Cuomo Campaign Clip

Cynthia Nixon and her Gilded Age co-star Ashlie Atkinson have bashed Andrew Cuomo's mayoral bid in a new heavily Sex and the City coded clip

EXCLUSIVE: Sex and the City Star Cynthia Nixon Spills the Tea on Andrew Cuomo's Mayoral Bid!

In a shocking new clip, SATC legend Cynthia Nixon is seen warning her Gilded Age co-star Ashlie Atkinson about the dangers of re-electing Andrew Cuomo as mayor of New York City. But what really has tongues wagging is Nixon's omission of one majorly relevant and embarrassing moment from her own past.

The video, which has been making waves on thescholarlynote.com, shows Nixon cautioning Atkinson not to fall for Cuomo's charms, just like she would advise her character Miranda Hobbes to steer clear of an ex who won't leave their DMs alone. But what about Nixon's own history with the embattled politician?

As we all know, Nixon ran against Cuomo in the 2018 Democratic primary for Governor of New York, promising a woke agenda that included universal rent control, subway repairs, and higher taxes for the wealthy. But did you know that Cuomo absolutely crushed Nixon, leaving her in the dust?

Fast-forward to today, and Nixon is still going strong, using her platform to call out Cuomo's many shortcomings. In the new clip, she highlights his questionable record as governor, including slashing funding for public schools and siphoning millions from the MTA.

But what really gets Nixon's goat is Cuomo's alleged ties to Trump and the GOP. She claims that he's backed by Trump donors and has a super PAC filled with million-dollar contributions from wealthy Republicans. And let's not forget his infamous resignation from office after being accused of sexually harassing eleven women!

Nixon warns her fans not to fall for Cuomo's charms, telling them: "Don't rank Cuomo!" But what about Nixon's own past dealings with the governor? It seems that in 2018, Cuomo went nuclear on Nixon during their primary campaign, hammering her for her liberal agenda and warning voters not to elect a " radical" like herself.

Now, as Cuomo eyes a political comeback, Nixon is back at it again, using her platform to remind voters of his many misdeeds. And this time, she's got backup from none other than Ashlie Atkinson, who plays a character in the clip who's just thrilled that Cuomo has slid back into her DMs.

The actresses join forces to highlight Cuomo's alleged ties to Trump and the GOP, claiming he's still harassing women today and is backed by a super PAC filled with million-dollar contributions from wealthy Republicans. And let's not forget his infamous resignation from office after being accused of sexually harassing eleven women!

But what really has us talking is Nixon's omission of her own history with Cuomo in the clip. Did she leave it out to avoid embarrassment? Or was it simply an oversight?

As the battle for New York City's mayoralty heats up, one thing is clear: Cynthia Nixon is not holding back when it comes to taking down Andrew Cuomo. And if her latest ad is any indication, she's ready to spill all the tea on his questionable record and alleged ties to Trump.

So what do you think, readers? Will Nixon's anti-Cuomo campaign ad be enough to take him down? Or will he still manage to slide back into office? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
