Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz trolled the Biden administration on Thursday after calling out a new Tom Hanks promotional video to celebrate the president&#8217;s first-year achievements as &#8220;The Simpsons&#8221; in real life.
&#8220;The Simpsons did it first!&#8221; Cruz tweeted alongside a post featuring a screenshot from &#8220;The Simpsons Movie.&#8221;
The included post read, &#8220;Oh my gosh it&#8217;s the Simpsons in real life.&#8221;

The reference was made to the 2007 &#8220;The Simpsons Movie,&#8221; which included an animated cameo of the Hollywood star in its closing credits.
&#8220;Hello, I&#8217;m Tom Hanks,&#8221; the animated Hanks said in the meme. &#8220;The U.S. government has lost its credibility, so it&#8217;s borrowing some of mine.&#8221;
Hanks narrated the voice in Biden&#8217;s &#8220;Year One of the Biden-Harris Administration&#8221; video released on Thursday.

&#8220;It&#8217;s never been a good idea to bet against America. And, there&#8217;s nothing we can&#8217;t do if we do it together. We are stronger today than we were a year ago,&#8221; the video&#8217;s description reads.
The two-minute video features Hanks reminding people that America is &#8220;the home of the brave&#8221; and features &#8220;achievements&#8221; of the Biden administration, including the millions of Americans who have received vaccines and a bounce back from pandemic job closures.
The video concludes with a brief appearance by President Joe Biden himself.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve long said it&#8217;s never been a good bet to bet against America,&#8221; the president noted. &#8220;I&#8217;ve never been more optimistic about America&#8217;s future. There&#8217;s nothing beyond our capacity if we do it together.&#8221;
The video was produced by the Presidential Inaugural Committee. <a href="https://www.axios.com/biden-one-year-inaugural-committee-ad-3c7597b5-490c-4f23-b919-5b97e10785db.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Axios</a> reported the committee, &#8220;which was <a class="gtm-content-click" href="https://www.emmys.com/shows/53rd-presidential-inaugural-gala" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-vars-link-text="nominated" data-vars-click-url="https://www.emmys.com/shows/53rd-presidential-inaugural-gala" data-vars-event-category="story" data-vars-sub-category="story" data-vars-item="in_content_link">nominated</a> for an Emmy, is spending several million dollars in leftover inaugural funds to air the ad on broadcast and cable TV today.&#8221;
In a statement to Axios, the committee noted, &#8220;In recognition of the President’s first year in office, the Biden-Harris Presidential Inaugural Committee believed it was important to celebrate the strength and perseverance of the American people in the face of extraordinary adversity, just as we did a year ago today.&#8221;
The video comes just one day after Biden gave a rare solo press conference in Washington, D.C., to celebrate accomplishments during his first year in office. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-slammed-over-embarrassing-press-conference-let-the-25th-amendment-discussions-begin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> reported:
<blockquote>President Joe Biden was widely criticized online on Wednesday following his about two-hour press conference, the first press conference that he’s given in months, over his responses to a variety of questions.
Biden suggested during the press conference that a “minor incursion” by Russia into Ukraine might not elicit the same response from the U.S. as a full-scale invasion.
When asked about his struggles in office and whether he overpromised on the campaign trail, Biden responded, “I didn’t over-promise, but I have probably outperformed what anyone thought would happen.”</blockquote>
Cruz also criticized Biden&#8217;s speech on Twitter in multiple posts on Wednesday.
&#8220;Biden’s speech tonight was shockingly reckless and out of touch. He was either completely unaware of or indifferent to major issues impacting Americans today: empty grocery store shelves, record inflation, and authoritarian COVID mandates,&#8221; he said.

Cruz concluded, &#8220;Biden spent two hours trying to gaslight the American people to accept the Democrats&#8217; radical proposals. It was shameful and disturbing.&#8221;
