He referred to a tweet from Trump campaign senior legal adviser Jenna Ellis who blew up the day before during Joe Biden’s first official campaign event with running mate Kamala Harris.

‘I like that Mr. Cruz enjoys The Simpsons, but I think his understanding of the characters is weak, ‘showrunner Al Jean told The Daily Beast at the time. “I think if he researched Lisa’s positions, he’s a smart man, he could change his mind.”
