Sarah Sanders Made an Unwitting Cameo in the Latest Episode of Murphy Brown, and It Was Savage AF
05 October 2018
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders made an unintentional cameo on Murphy Brown Thursday night after the title character charged her way into White House Briefing Room and challenged Sanders on her dishonesty.
Brown, played by Candice Bergen, took over a reporter's turn to speak, which Sanders said was "inappropriate."
