Who Even is Pramila Jayapal? | The West Wing Season 2 Episode 20
CJ Cregg is sparring with our new favourite White House Counsel and Leigh has the hots for Oliver Babbish in Season 2, Episode 20 “The Fall’s Gonna Kill You.” Abbey Bartlet is a woman scorned and she’s back with a vengeance giving full Elizabeth Taylor glamour whilst learning she may have criminal exposure. Fi is tickled by Sam Seaborn going toe to toe with the Progressive Caucus and tying himself in feminist knots and Leigh dives into the history of the CPC and the story of the Progressives’ most recent Chair Emeritus, Representative Pramila Jayapal. Joey Lucas is back baby and Leigh and Fi recall a simpler time when America was feeling the Bern. Bernie Sanders is officially given honorary Queer Gal status for being one of the funniest people in Washington.
