On Thursday, Republican senator Ted Cruz tried to insult his political opponents by comparing them to Lisa Simpson, and Republicans to Homer Simpson. But the dis fell flat when his targets agreed with him completely.
During a discussion at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Thursday, conservative commentator Ben Domenech said the ongoing debate about gun control was similar to an episode of the Simpsons. To that, Cruz said “I think the Democrats are the party of Lisa Simpson and Republicans are happily the party of Homer and Bart and Maggie and Marge.”
The response was a collective arched eyebrow from Democratic fans of the long-running Fox animated series.
