Cynthia Nixon is questioning presidential hopeful Joe Biden’s motives after he released an ad that laid the groundwork for how he would combat the coronavirus pandemic compared to Donald Trump.

Nixon accused the former vice president of “courting hardcore racists” on Sunday in a Twitter response to New York State Assemblymember Yuh-line Niou, who called Biden’s ad “racist and xenophobic” and suggested that it supports the notion that China is culpable in the spread of the novel virus.

“Who had Joe Biden put this hateful xenophobic ad up? Joe needs to focus on getting Democrats and Independents excited, not courting hard-core racists,” Nixon tweeted. “You won’t get them, Joe, and you’ll make the rest of us sick to our stomachs.”

Nixon also penned an article for NBC News in February bashing Michael Bloomberg following the Democratic debate in Nevada, the first that the former New York City mayor participated in.
