Katie Hill

Former Katie Hill staffers allegedly took over Hill’s government Twitter account Tuesday evening to condemn news of a television show about the disgraced former congresswoman.

“The Handmaid’s Tale” star Elizabeth Moss will play Hill in Blumhouse Television’s adaptation of Hill’s memoir, Deadline reported Tuesday. Those tweeting from Hill’s government account, who identified themselves as Hill’s former staffers, expressed disappointment in Moss, Blumhouse, and writer Michael Seitzman, who will write the screenplay of the show according to Deadline.

THE QUICK FACTS

A one-time campaign foreign policy adviser to President Donald Trump who served 12 days in jail for lying to the FBI has filed paperwork to run for the seat occupied by resigning California Democratic Rep. Katie Hill.

After she won reelection last year as part of a historic, female-driven wave for House Democrats, the party picked Rep. Katie Hill (Calif.) to be one of its faces of success.
