A Trump Campaign Official Said Kamala Harris Sounds Like Marge Simpson—and Marge Simpson Just Responded

A Trump Campaign Official Said Kamala Harris Sounds Like Marge Simpson—and Marge Simpson Just Responded
Fox News // @TheSimpsons/Twitter

On Tuesday, Democratic nominee Joe Biden announced Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) as his running mate for the 2020 election this November.

Minutes after the announcement, President Donald Trump's campaign rolled out its first attack ad. From the White House briefing room, Trump decried Harris as "mean" and amplified racist questions of her citizenship.


One particularly sophomoric attack came from Trump campaign legal advisor Jenna Ellis, who tweeted that Senator Harris sounded like Marge Simpson, the matriarch of television's The Simpsons.

The attack largely backfired, and "Marge Simpson" soon began trending on Twitter, with people insisting to Ellis that Marge is one of the most sensible, likable characters on the show.

Now, the fictional character responded to Ellis with a video message tweeted from the show's official account.

Watch below.

Simpson says in the video:

"I usually don't get into politics, but the President's senior advisor Jenna Ellis just said Kamala Harris sounds like me. Lisa says she doesn't mean it as a compliment. If that's so, as an ordinary suburban housewife, I'm starting to feel a little disrespected. I teach my children not to name call, Jenna."

Referring to herself as an "ordinary suburban housewife," Marge takes a subtle dig at Trump's bizarre tweets referring to suburban women as "housewives."

Ellis didn't seem fazed at the video.

But others praised the response.









Others thought 2020 was getting out of control.



Marge ends the video with, "I was gonna say I'm pissed off, but I'm afraid they'd bleep it.

Fox News Host Apologizes After His Suggestion That Homeless People Be Euthanized Sparks Outrage

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

Nancy Mace Just Tried To Claim She's Never 'Dehumanized' Her Colleagues—And The Internet Brought The Receipts

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out for hypocrisy after she claimed on CNN that Democrats in Congress have been "dehumanizing" Republicans, a move she would "never" do—despite her record of doing just that.

Speaking to anchor Katie Bolduan while the search for the suspect who killed far-right activist Charlie Kirk was ongoing, Mace objected to Bolduan's observation that she was using "us v. them" language, only saying that things are "very one-sided right now." She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
