Actress Busy Philipps was not pleased on Thursday when someone mistook her for White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders in a picture sent out on Twitter.

Jon Cooper, chairman of the Democratic Coalition Against Trump, tweeted a photo of Philipps from when she was on the series "Freaks and Geeks" but identified Sanders as the person in the image, Page Six reports.

"Sarah Huckabee Sanders even looked habitually pissed when she was a teenager! I guess having @GovMikeHuckabee as your dad does that to you," Cooper tweeted with the photo.

Philipps, 38, saw the picture and was furious.

"ARE YOU F–KING KIDDING ME?" Philipps responded to Cooper. "IS THIS A JOKE? THIS IS ME FROM FREAKS AND GEEKS. FAKE NEWS."

"ALSO I LOOK NOTHING LIKE SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS. WHAT IN THE ACTUAL -?!?????!!!!!" Philipps added. "I AM NEVER GETTING OVER THIS. I AM ACTUALLY DEAD NOW."

Philipps also blasted Cooper for insulting a woman over how she looks.

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

Cooper said that he made a mistake not recognizing Philipps in the picture and deleted his original tweet.

"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!" Cooper wrote.
