Vanity Fair

Parker has already said she's supporting Nixon. But she went into detail on why Nixon is qualified at the Tribeca Film Festival. "She’s been an activist her whole life,” Parker told Vanity Fair, adding: “There is policy that matters to her. She’s concerned about where our dollars and how are dollars are being spent. And like many formidable women, she decided now was the time to talk about those things,” explained Parker. “It’s exciting. I think it’s good for our city to have those conversations. It’s always good to have a challenger. As we know, great candidates deserve great challengers.”
