After Joe Biden unveiled California Senator Kamala Harris as his Vice Presidential nominee for the 2020 elections, senior White House legal consultant Jenna Ellis sounded off on Twitter with a typically dignified response.
Well, a Trump administration version of dignified.
Kamala sounds like Marge Simpson.— Jenna Ellis (@Jenna Ellis)1597267649.0
A couple days later, The Simpsons released a video of Marge Simpson responding to the insult.
Marge's message was pretty non-partisan.
She said:
"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."
Marge Simpson has something to say. https://t.co/viux96bAPf— TheSimpsons (@TheSimpsons)1597417123.0
Conservatives on Twitter were outraged at Marge's message, however.
Many of them expressed their displeasure on Twitter.

Trump supporters can't enjoy any show that doesn't blindly support the President.
@TheSimpsons just go off the air already, please, take what meager shreds of dignity you have left and pack it in, its 20 years past due.— 🇻🇦Gio's Ignatius J Fat guy’s Content Corner🛡🎨 (@🇻🇦Gio's Ignatius J Fat guy’s Content Corner🛡🎨)1597430330.0
