President Donald Trump was raked over the coals on Twitter for his praise of Vice President Mike Pence ― and his criticism of Democratic vice-presidential nominee Kamala Harris ― during Wednesday’s vice presidential debate.
Trump tweeted almost an hour into the debate that Pence was “doing GREAT!” He referred to Harris, a California senator, as “she” and called her “a gaffe machine.”
Mike Pence is doing GREAT! She is a gaffe machine.

Trump later claimed Pence had “WON BIG!”
Mike Pence WON BIG!

Some Twitter users pointed out the irony of Trump ― who routinely misspeaks and often posts embarrassing typos on Twitter ― accusing someone else of committing a gaffe.
Others asked if the president was watching the same debate as everyone else.
