Marge Simpson doesn’t admire being thrown into the political insult fray. The long-lived The SImpsons character appeared in a brand new video talking out towards a dig that was taken at newly-announced vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
In response to Harris’ first appearance alongside Joe Biden since becoming a member of his presidential ticket, Donald Trump authorized adviser Jenna Ellis tweeted on Wednesday that “Kamala appears like Marge Simpson,” and ignited a flurry of responses from Simpsons followers stating that the meant insult was truly fairly a praise.
Marge Simpson herself, who’s voiced by actress Julie Kavner, weighed in in a video shared by The Simpsons‘ official Twitter page on Friday, denouncing Ellis for utilizing her to “name-call” Harris.
“I often do not get into politics, however the president’s senior advisor Jenna Ellis simply mentioned Kamala Harris appears like me. Lisa says she does not imply it as a praise,” Simpson mentioned within the video. “If that is so, as an atypical suburban housewife, I am beginning to really feel a little bit disrespected. I educate my kids to not name-call, Jenna. I used to be gonna say I am pissed off, however I am afraid they’d bleep it.”

This isn’t the primary time The Simpsons and the Trump administration have shared headlines, after all.
