The West Wing cast has no time for Sarah Sanders comparing herself to C.J. Cregg

As a show about people at the highest echelons of government power who are funny, principled, and actually good at their jobs, The West Wing is aspirational porn for people who have already achieved most of their higher aspirations. So we get why White House press secretary Sarah Sanders—whose reputation is such that she spent the Thanksgiving holiday getting yelled at because people thought she was lying about the simple, wholesome act of baking a pie—would want to draw some parallels between herself and beloved Bartlet administration press sec C.J. Cregg.
