President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden participated in the first of three scheduled debates last night September 29, 2020.
The debate which came across more like a reality show pilot was moderated by Fox News’ Chris Wallace, who was seen multiple times trying to control the room due to both candidates constantly interrupting each other.
Comments heard throughout the 90-minute debate were:
“Will You Shut Up Man!”
“The fact is that everything he’s saying here is a lie!”
“It’s hard to get any word in with this clown.”
“You are the worst president America has ever had.”
“He doesn’t want to answer the question.”
“This is so un-Presidential.”
“47 years, you’ve done nothing.”
“Will he just shush for a minute?”
“He’s a fool on this.”
“Show us your tax returns.”
“He’s the racist.”
“He never keeps his word.”
“You make up a lot.”
“This is not going to end well.”
