Kamala Harris surprises San Diego Comic Con with Simpsons reference | US election 2024
The Vice President of the United States surprised fans of The Simpsons with a pre-recorded video message on Saturday during the long-running Fox animated series' San Diego Comic-Con panel, after creator Matt Groening introduced the "superfan."
“We must go forward, not backward, up, not forward, and always spinning, spinning, spinning toward freedom,” Harris said with a laugh, referencing the Oct. 27, 1996, episode “Treehouse of Horror VII.” The clip recently resurfaced after being recorded in 2013 by a group of University of Chicago students.
The episode aired during the '96 presidential election between Bill Clinton and Bob Dole, with aliens Kang and Kodos impersonating the candidates in a debate. The line was spoken by Kodos disguised as Clinton.
