Let’s not “fly” over the fact that a special visitor showed up during last night’s vice presidential debate between Vice President Mike Pence and Senator Kamala Harris and stole the show! Although the VP debate was more civil and a lot less chaotic than last week’s cringeworthy Presidential debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, it certainly had a shock factor moment that took social media by storm.
After tackling heavy topics such as the pandemic, vaccine controversy, tax policy, fracking, and more, the debate closed on a comical note when a black fly landed on VP Mike Pence’s head and sat atop his silver hair for almost 2 minutes—prompting a barrage of gut-busting memes. Celebrities like Liza Koshy, Keke Palmer, Tina Lawson, and our very own Da Brat and Headkrack, joined in on the viral moment.

I’m not saying he’s an alien but I never seen a bug sit so comfortably on anyone since Men In Black.

Joe Biden even joined in to capitalize on the viral moment with his “truth over flies” fly swatter campaign.
