Here's something weird that happened during the vice presidential debate. While the candidates were discussing a serious topic, the death of Breonna Taylor and their stances on criminal justice reform, this happened.
NOT THE FLY ON HIS HEAD
A fly landed on Mike Pence's head. He didn't seem to notice — or ignored it — continuing to answer the question. But people at home sure did.
I was about to break my damn tv thinking I had a fly in my house! That thing was holding on for dear life to Pence head lol
Yeah, it was weird!
WHAT IS ON MIKE PENCE’S HEAD? #VPDebate
People got distracted and missed the answers because they couldn't focus on anything but the fly.
I’m sorry but that fly distracted tf outta me 😭😭😭😭😭 I ain’t hear nun they said
It was pretty funny, and soon people began to make a ton of jokes online.
“I just couldn’t stand by and listen to his lies any longer.”
that fly said:
PRETTY FLY FOR A WHITE GUY
the fly when it landed on pences head
Lots of projections were put on the fly.
That fly!! She’s a star ⭐️
The fly on Pence’s head knowing it’s about to be the only thing Twitter talks about
the fly reading all these tweets:
the fly entering the debate hall
It just wouldn't leave, further distracting everyone from the substance of the debate.
pence has had a fly on his head for like 5 minutes are you kidding right now hahHahahahhaha #Debates2020
This fly was admirably resilient. Parked there for like 10 minutes. An inspiration to us all.
Then it flew away.
I cannot stop watching the fly launching off Pence’s head
The fly is gone, but its legacy remains: in the form of lame politician jokes. The Biden campaign was ~~~buzzing~~~ about it.
Pitch in $5 to help this campaign fly. https://t.co/CqHAId0j8t
As were Democrats in general.
Obama Kills Fly During Interview https://t.co/pxns0z6ohj
They even registered the URL: flywillvote.com.
https://t.co/qNIYVjqmAU Look it up. Super important. #VPDebate
Even Republicans got involved in the wisecracks.
The deep state planted a bug on @VP. The illegal spying is really out of control.
TL;DR: They spent an hour debating the critical issues and future of our country and everyone's talking about a fly.
Can't wait until Mike Pence gets off stage and realizes all anyone is going to talk about is the fly that landed on his head and sat there for 5 solid minutes while the world cheered it on
