She shouted this in 1993 at the Rock ‘n’ Roll Inauguration Ball that MTV hosted for Bill Clinton “Now it’s Nixon! Now it’s Nixon! “whenever either Hillary or Bill Clinton took the stage. She was a supporter of Richard Nixon, Dan Quayle, and Bob Dole in addition to being a fan of Richard Nixon.

She was an avid supporter of Gary Johnson throughout both the 2012 and 2016 election cycles. In March of 2012, Reason released an article written by Kennedy in which he argued that atheism is just as much of a religion as theistic religions.
