Hypocrat: 'I'm really inspired by women who are making their voices heard'

Hillary Clinton gave a powerful, inspiration speech praising women 'who are making their voices heard like never before' this election year and then snubbed actress Cynthia Nixon to endorse Andrew Cuomo for New York governor.

'I'm also really inspired by women who are making their voices heard like never before,' she said to huge applause at the New York state Democratic convention at Hofstra University in New York on Wednesday.

At least 482 women are running for Congress or governor this year, according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University, including Nixon , who, if elected, would be New York's first woman governor and the second openly bisexual governor of any state.

But while Clinton, who would have been the first female president if she had won in 2016, touted the work of suffragists like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who fought for women's right to vote at the Seneca Falls Convention in New York in 1848, she put her political weight behind Cuomo's quest for a third term in the governor's office.
