"Murphy Brown" put politics front and center again in the second episode of the rebooted comedy on Thursday when the main character infiltrated a press conference at the White House and aimed press secretary Sarah Sanders.
The episode, titled "I (Don & # 39; t Heart) Huckabee", staged a Sanders faux cameo, taken from real clips of Sanders' real interactions with real reporters.
Brown, a fictional journalist played by Candice Bergen, is banned from all press briefs but infiltrates slyly under a disguise. His appearance briefly embarrassed his son Avery, a journalist with the conservative Wolf network.
In the scene, which lasts about two minutes, Brown interrupts another journalist before Sanders qualifies his actions as "really inappropriate".
Brown replies, "If you really want to talk about what's inappropriate, how about how you do your job?" She says. "The role of the White House press officer is to create transparency within the government and tell the truth to the American people, but that's not what's happening in this room. "
She then cites President Trump's ever-changing story of the notorious Trump Tower meeting, Special Adviser Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia, and the separation of immigrant families at the US border. Mexican.
"It all boils down to the same thing," Brown said before Sanders blithely asked, "So here's my question: why are you lying?
Sanders is trying to move on before Brown rejects the hostility of the Trump administration towards the press.
"The basic principle of journalistic integrity, which is reporting the facts, is totally out of reach," she said. "If we can not get the truth, why are we here?"
She then tries to inspire the press by organizing an impromptu outing – to no avail.
The show's creator, Diane English, said it had "taken a village" to turn Sanders on the TV screen.
"We have dedicated one of our writer's assistants to organize each press conference with Sarah Huckabee Sanders," she told Vulture. "We found five of them where she was wearing the same dress and her hair was the same, so we had a lot of choice for facial expressions and words."
The producers also hired a double body. Rachel Butera, accused of mocking the voice of Christine Blasey Ford during her hearing before the Judiciary Committee of the Senate, doubled the voice of Sanders.
In the first episode of the series, Hillary Clinton made a real life incursion in which she embodied a person who was applying for a job that resembled the former first lady.
