Related: About this forumAlyssa Milano faces backlash for supporting a Marianne Williamson fundraiser: 'I know. I know.'
Washington PostAlyssa Milano might be a big fan of former vice president Joe Biden, but the Charmed actress and prominent activist is still playing the field when it comes to which of the Democratic presidential candidates she plans to ultimately back and shes starting out by attending a fundraiser for Marianne Williamson.
Im going to my first fundraiser of the election cycle and its for-@marwilliamson, Milano announced Tuesday on Twitter. She preemptively defended the move, perhaps anticipating criticism for .?.?. supporting a self-help guru who plenty of people have dismissed as a New Age-spouting political sideshow? Probably?
I know. I know, Milano wrote. But shes the only candidate talking about the collective, soulful ache of the nation & I think thats an important discussion to have.
Milano said she also planned to have Williamson as a guest on her podcast, Sorry Not Sorry.

We need to change hearts and minds over time in order to move away from an extremely punitive minded justice system, consideration of the heath of the whole moving forward, and to be healthier as a society. I applaud and support her message. I applaud and support the manner in which she is carrying herself.
