It’s been speculated Murphy Brown’s use of Hillary Clinton wasn’t just a cameo made to shock its fanbase and new viewers, but one that would shock and anger one viewer in particular.
So far the President hasn’t mentioned the series premiere or cameo on his social media.
It’s a tactic the show utilized back in its original run when former Vice President Dan Quayle criticized the character in a speech in 1992.
President Donald Trump has often criticized television shows and Hillary Clinton in the past, so some have seen the cameo as a way of baiting the President into talking about the show so they can use his remarks in future episodes.
