Woke actress Cynthia Nixon was appointed to serve on a panel that screens judges for the state of New York after she previously suggested that shoplifting should be legalized.
Nixon, 60, best known for her role as Miranda on the show Sex and the City, was appointed to sit on the Commission on Judicial Nomination by New York Chief Judge Rowan Wilson.
The former actress will serve on the board which screens candidates for vacancies on the Court of Appeals, New York State’s highest court.
Nixon’s term for the unpaid position runs through April 30, 2030, and is the latest move after a turbulent political career.
The former actress and failed New York gubernatorial candidate tweeted in 2021 that ‘desperate people shouldn’t be prosecuted’ for stealing items at CVS.
She had noticed her local CVS in SoHo had ‘started’ locking up ‘basic items like clothing detergent.’
‘As so many families can’t make ends meet right now, I can’t imagine thinking that the way to solve the problem of people stealing basic necessities out of desperation is to prosecute them,’ Nixon tweeted.
She will now work hand in hand with the commission to suggest candidates to forward to the Governor.
