Here’s a not-so-alternative fact: Sarah Paulson would like to take on the role of Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway in the upcoming election-themed season of “American Horror Story.”

“AHS” veteran Paulson revealed her desire to play Conway to TVGuide.com. She also expressed her confusion over the fact that the once-ubiquitous Conway seems to have fallen off the radar lately.

“I’d love to play Kellyanne Conway,” Paulson said. “First of all, where is she? We haven’t seen her in a couple weeks. What’s going on? … She was everywhere. We could not get her to shut up. And now, where is she? … Don’t get me wrong. I’m appreciating the silence, the quiet, but I am curious. That’s an American horror story for you: What happened to Kellyanne Conway?”

Maybe she’s busy scouring the White House’s microwave ovens for cameras?

“AHS” boss Ryan Murphy told “Watch What Happens Live” host Andy Cohen in February that the upcoming seventh season will tackle last year’s political race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

“I don’t have a title but the season when we begin shooting it is going to be about the election that we just went through,” Murphy said. “So I think that will be interesting for a lot of people.”
