The debate between Pence and Harris was quiet compared to the debate between Trump and Biden
If popularity on social media was the measure of success, the statements by US vice presidential candidates Mike Pence and Kamala Harris during their debate might not have garnered much attention.
Despite the efforts of the two, social media ignored what neither of them said, and most of the comments captured the movement of a fly hovering around the platform.
The fly, which perched on Pence’s head for two minutes, became a point of discussion and debate on the Internet, as the word “fly” has been republished and shared 700,000 times on Twitter, since appeared during the debate.
And the image of the Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, wearing a “fly swatter” of flies, won the admiration of more than half a million people when drafting the text.
The fly brought the two sides together in the election campaign, with one describing him as an “American hero” and another commenting that it was perhaps the most memorable of this campaign.
Former White House aide Killian Conway demanded that the fly receive a vote-by-mail ballot, while Senator Rand Paul joked that this was evidence of espionage, “as the deep state put in place a wiretapping device. phone numbers in a penny. ”
And Maryam Webster’s dictionary announced that the word “fly” had become popular on its website.
Many created accounts with the word fly and one of them managed to attract 10,000 followers on Twitter.
One of them indicated that the last time a fly appeared in a presidential debate was the day a fly landed on the head of Hillary Clinton, candidate for the presidency, adding: “We do not mean here that it is the same fly “.
But the comments weren’t all jokes. Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro wrote that the fly was a way of diverting people’s attention from the facts of the debate.
