The Daily Beast reports:
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted a GIF of Lisa Simpson sobbing and ripping up papers during House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s speech at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night.
Pompeo had mocked Pelosi by tweeting the same clip in February shortly after Pelosi ripped up President Trump’s State of the Union speech.
The clip comes from a scene in the “Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington” episode of The Simpsons, in which a shattered Lisa tears an essay she had written about democracy after witnessing a politician take a bribe.
From the last time Pompeo did this:
Yeardley Smith, the actress who voices Lisa on “The Simpsons,” slammed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday after he tweeted an image of the character ripping up an essay — an apparent jibe at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who tore up a copy of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech.
“I might just add f— you @mikepompeo for co-opting my character to troll @SpeakerPelosi,” Smith tweeted Wednesday morning. “Be a leader and fight you own fight! Oh, wait I forgot, you’re a follower.”
Smith criticized Pompeo in response to a tweet from Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., D-NJ. He was one of several Twitter users who pointed out that Lisa only rips up the essay because she overheard a crooked congressman taking a bribe from a lobbyist, souring her on Washington.

You’re the Secretary of State. Social media trolling should be beneath you. Maybe it’s only beneath the office you hold.
