Busy Philipps Ticked After She's Mistaken For Sarah Huckabee Sanders
Actress Busy Philipps went ballistic on Thursday after the chairman of the Democratic Coalition Against Trump misidentified her as a young Sarah Huckabee Sanders in an old photo.
In an attempted dig at the White House press secretary’s facial expression, Jon Cooper tweeted a picture of Philipps from her time on the one-season 1999-2000 TV comedy “Freaks and Geeks.”
That prompted Philipps to respond, “I am never getting over this” ― and a whole lot more.
Here’s Cooper’s now-deleted post (for which he later apologized):
And here is the “Cougar Town” star’s response:
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? IS THIS A JOKE? THIS IS ME FROM FREAKS AND GEEKS. FAKE NEWS. https://t.co/3l8WVntlG3

Yeah, we’re not seeing the resemblance either.
Anyway, Philipps wasn’t done.

ALSO. Pick on a woman for the insane lies she tells. Not cause she looks pissed off while telling them. I love women who look pissed off.

Cooper’s Democratic Coalition Against Trump has been taking aim at Sanders after she said that ESPN’s Jemele Hill should be fired for calling Trump a “white supremacist,” and has called for an ethics probe.
“My bad!” Cooper tweeted after his mistake came to light. He also claimed that Philipps’ image showed up in a Google search when he was looking for a picture of Sanders.
Oops!
I deleted this tweet after I found out the pic wasn't Sanders but rather an actress w/ a huge fan base (who now all HATE me, lol). My bad! 😢 pic.twitter.com/AdET9yaEUE

My advice: Just because a Google search identifies an image as being a certain person, take that with a grain of salt! It could be wrong. 😲
