In the clip, the presumptive Democratic nominee read a line from the iconic “Treehouse of Horror VII” episode where Kang and Kodos impersonate then-President Bill Clinton and Bob Dole at a 1996 presidential debate.
“Our country should move forward, not backward; upward, not forward; and always twirling, twirling, twirling toward freedom,” said Harris in the clip.
The footage reportedly sparked cheers from the panel’s audience. The Hollywood Reporter noted that Comic-Con attendees seemed to believe that Harris filmed the video for the event.
Harris’ Comic-Con moment arrives more than three years after “Simpsons” fans likened her outfit at President Joe Biden’s inauguration to Lisa Simpson’s look in the “Bart to the Future” episode from 2000.
Lisa Simpson, who appears as the “first straight female president” in the episode, reveals that her administration inherited “quite a budget crunch” from former President Donald Trump.
“The Simpsons” writer Al Jean took to social media to declare that Harris’ similar look to Lisa Simpson is a “prediction” from the show that he’s proud to be part of.
