Twitter Can't Get Enough of Kamala Harris's Facial Expressions During the 2020 VP Debate
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
On Wednesday night, Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. Kamala Harris faced off in the 2020 Vice Presidential debate at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. The candidates verbally sparred for 90 minutes from behind plexiglass dividers, but the real winner of the night—at least according to Twitter—was Sen. Harris's facial expression. That raised eyebrow? That look your mom gives you when she knows you're lying to her face? It's all there.
As anyone could have guessed, the pandemic—and the super-spreader Rose Garden ceremony—were major topics. When Mike Pence, who claims he tested negative for COVID-19 following the event, said that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were "playing with people's lives," Twitter raised its collective eyebrow. And since it's 2020, we had to confront the topic of whether we believe in science (despite the fact that the West Coast is burning), and no one is amused:
LMAO WHY DO WE STILL NEED TO ASK CANDIDATES IF THEY BELIEVE SCIENCE?! IT IS LITERALLY 2020. I HATE IT HERE #VPDebate

For some reason "fracking" seemed to be the favorite word of the night:
Susan, the thing is, Susan. Hurricanes are fracking our taxes, but there are no (licks finger)--Susan. Can I call you Suzy? Susan, when Joe Biden ate all the fracks, you said, "no more fracking."
And that's what America means to me.#VPDebate— Justin Kirkland (@justinkirkland4) October 8, 2020
Fracking is bad, actually

And on that note, this is about how we feel about this night so far:
for frack’s sake

Kamala Harris wiped the floor with Mike Pence and there is really no question about that. He didn't answer a single question. The most exciting moment of his performance was when he was a landing pad for a fly.

Harris when Pence interrupts her
She talks to him the way I talk to my children when I'm angry but someone is watching
— Taffy Brodesser-Akner (@taffyakner) October 8, 2020
VP Pence interrupts Sen Harris and she flashes a smile and says, "Mr. Vice President, I'm speaking."
Pence continues interrupting and accuses Joe Biden of raising taxes on Americans.
Harris politely finishes and says Trump "rode the coattails" of the Obama economy.— Yamiche Alcindor (@Yamiche) October 8, 2020
Wow @KamalaHarris is nailing the perfect balance between patient and patronizing as @VP rudely interrupts her while she makes a smarter point than him...
This is a dynamic many women will recognize + empathize with #VPDebate— Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, Ph.D. (@nataliapetrzela) October 8, 2020
