Nancy Lee Grahn is known to be outspoken, especially on the political scene. She has also made it known that she gets all riled up about Sarah Palin and her conservative views. In an interview with TV Guide’s Michael Logan posted on Oct, 29, 2012, the “General Hospital” star was pretty tough on how she feels about the former Vice Presidential candidate.
Grahn has been supporting her on-screen daughter, Kelly Monaco during her time on “Dancing with the Stars.” Logan asked her how it was to sit in the same studio as Palin during the dance competition while Bristol Palin was still in it. She called it a true test, especially when the two were seated closer to each other every week.
The 54-year-old actress said that she doesn’t like what Palin stands for. “I think she's a very divisive and dangerous person. The fact that she actually thought she was qualified to run for vice president — that she had the self-serving gumption to put our nation at risk that way — is something I still find unforgivable,” Grahn said. Ouch! But she did have something nice to say about the former Governor of Alaska. She loves her shoes! Grahn said that she was quite envious of the fabulous shoes Palin wore to the “Dancing with the Stars” studio. At least they can agree on something.
Cute shoes seem to the only thing these two ladies can agree on. They are on opposite sides of the political fence with Grahn clearly supporting Obama and Palin in the Romney camp. The soap star has been tweeting up a storm on her Twitter account as she makes no bones about her feelings on women’s issues. She makes extremely strong statements such as, “Any mother who votes for Romney is voting against my daughter, and I take that very personally. Not sure I can forgive that. #truth,” which was posted on her Twitter on Oct. 25.
Does this mean that Nancy Lee Grahn would never forgive her “General Hospital” fans for voting against her own views? This talented actress has many fans out there that love her but may not share the same views as she does. Hopefully all can be forgiven between the major soap star and her "GH" fans.
How do you feel about Grahn's statements about Sarah Palin?
