Kamala Harris Makes Shock Look at Comedian-Con

Vice President Kamala Harris made a shock look throughout The Simpsons panel at San Diego Comedian-Con 2024 on Saturday, July 27.

Harris, 59, addressed followers of Fox’s animated collection in a video clip performed on the finish of a panel celebrating the present, in response to a number of studies.

“We should transfer ahead, not backward; upward, not ahead; and all the time twirling, twirling, twirling in direction of freedom,” Harris stated, quoting the 1996 “Treehouse of Horror VII” episode in a pre-recorded clip, per The Hollywood Reporter.

To introduce the clip, The Simpsons creator Matt Groening instructed the viewers that they had been about to listen to from a “superfan.” No context was given about when the clip was recorded.

“Treehouse of Horror VII” initially aired in October 1996 forward of the election between former President Invoice Clinton and his challenger on the time, the late Bob Dole. The 2 candidates had been being impersonated by aliens Kang and Kodos within the Halloween episode.

Harris’ look on the panel comes after followers on social media have been mentioning the similarities between the politician and the animated character Lisa Simpson in a 2000 episode of the collection, titled “Bart to the Future,” the place Lisa grew to become the primary feminine president.

Lisa wore a purple blazer accessorized with a pearl necklace within the episode. The Simpsons author Al Jean identified in a put up on X (previously Twitter) that includes side-by-side photographs of Harris and Lisa that the character’s outfit was much like the one which Harris wore on Inauguration Day in 2021 when she was sworn in as vp.

“@TheSimpsons ‘prediction’ I’m proud to be part of,” Jean wrote within the put up on July 21, the day that President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race and introduced his endorsement of Harris.
