Wednesday night’s vice presidential debate came to a close with a lot less heavy breathing and yelling than last week’s presidential showdown. But Mike Pence does retain the sociopathic-seeming ability to just lie through his teeth about virtually anything and everything, and Sen. Kamala Harris had to do a lot of history lessoning and in-debate fact-checking.
But at one point, when Mike Pence was condescendingly attempting to say that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were disrespectful to law enforcement by supporting the concept of racial justice and equality, a new star was born. What we can only speculate was a common housefly landed on Pence’s head and sat there in the spotlight for a full two minutes. It was hard not to quickly realize that the Fly had truly overshadowed the pile he was sitting on.
First off, a Twitter account was set up and already had thousands of followers by the end of the debate.
And another.
