On Wednesday night, a fly landed on the head of Vice President Mike Pence as he became the subject of an unfortunate viral moment during the vice-presidential debate. Toward the end of the event, the fly landed and remained in place. The VP seemed to not notice the audacious bug’s landing, nor did he try to brush it away during his discussion.
As one would expect under the circumstances, Twitter lit up with memes and jokes about the silly situation. While some thought it was symbolic of their political view, many just reveled in the light moment amid a tense election cycle. Scroll through to watch the moment in question and see some of the reactions to the scene.
