Former U.S. Ambassador Richard Grenell slammed actress and progressive activist Cynthia Nixon on Wednesday, calling her support for New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s socialist policies “moronic.” This follows Nixon’s viral Election Day video endorsing Mamdani’s plan for free child care and subsidized groceries.

“@CynthiaNixon thinks childcare and groceries can be FREE. Moronic,” Grenell posted on X, reacting to a video Nixon shared on Tuesday in which she backed Mamdani’s platform while urging voters to reject former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
