A fly came and sat on the head of US Vice President Mike Pence during the vice presidential debate and managed to gain more traction than most of the arguments presented in the debate.
Now, it appears that Joe Biden’s campaign also benefited from the viral issue. Biden’s campaign reportedly sold 35,000 fly swatters within hours of the debate.
Bloomberg credited a Biden staff member for reporting that they made a blue fly swatter that had the phrase ‘The Truth About Flies’ on it.
