Trump's adviser mocks Marge Simpson. Marge Simpson responds
Aug 15, 2020
A Twitter fight has broken out between Donald Trump's campaign adviser and the fictional character Marge Simpson.
The war of words kicked off when Jenna Ellis, an adviser and lawyer to the US president, tweeted that newly-appointed Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris sounded like the cartoon housewife.
"Kamala sounds like Marge Simpson," she wrote, prompting a backlash from Democrat supporters.
In a video posted on The Simpsons' official Twitter account, the cartoon character - who is voiced by Julie Kavner - said she felt "disrespected" by the comparison.
"I usually don't get into politics, but the president's senior adviser Jenna Ellis just said Kamala Harris sounds like me," the character said, explaining that Lisa, her daughter on the show, told her, "she doesn't mean it as a compliment".
"As an ordinary suburban housewife, I'm starting to feel a little disrespected," she said.
"I teach my children not to name-call, Jenna."
She added: "I was gonna say I'm p***** off, but I'm afraid they'd bleep it."
Ms Ellis, who has repeatedly criticised mail-in voting, hit back: "Marge is probably going to vote Democrat... by mail."
Ms Harris was announced as Joe Biden's running mate earlier this week and has since been subject to numerous attacks from her rivals.
In her first speech as vice presidential candidate, she was highly critical of Mr Trump and said he "cares more about himself than the people who elected him".
