Here’s one woman definitely going to the polls for Donald Trump.

Kirstie Alley, star of beloved television show Cheers and that series of movies about talking babies, has endorsed the former reality TV star for president.

"HELLO BOYS! this is my formal endorsement of@realDonaldTrump& I'm a woman! (last I checked) And Rudy, U R amazing!," Alley tweeted. (Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has also recently thrown his backing behind Trump.)

It didn’t take long for the responses to come rolling in, but the comedian was undeterred.

“If Ur "disappointed in me" Or can't hang w me because of my views..so be it..U were never a friend in the 1st place.I respect ALL my friends,” Alley said on Twitter.

She defended her voting record and revealed that she’d also voted Obama, although it was unclear if she was still satisfied with that choice.

“I have a damn good voting record of choosing presidents elected...Carter, Reagan, G.W. Bush,Clinton, Obama..

Happy with 3 of my choices :)”

At the end of the day, Alley seemed unbothered by the backlash and characteristically sassy.

“;)...Gotta love the freedom of views and right to choose In America..got the same reactions when I voted Obama..xxo,” she tweeted.
