Fly Lands On Mike Pence's Head, Becomes Winner Of Vice Presidential Debate; Twitter Reacts

The debate between US Senator Kamala Harris and Vice President Mike Pence commenced on a serious note on Wednesday but one particular episode during it has sent the internet into frenzy.

A fly briefly buzzed around the stage before landing and staying on Mike Pence's head for whole to minutes.

Twitter

Pence was discussing the somber issue of racial injustice and police reform when the winged interloper landed on the leader's head. But there was no match for the most talked about intruder which even managed to outmaneuver plexiglass barriers installed at the stage to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

The incident went unmentioned onstage, with the Republican vice president and Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris continuing to focus on the discussion of systemic racism in the justice system. However, it was difficult for people to concentrate on Mike Pence's speech and everybody, instead, focused on the fly. As did Twitter.
