One of the most watched presidential debates in American history also produced some of the funniest social media responses to the histrionics, gestures and facial expressions of both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton — as well as moderator Lester Holt’s inexplicable patches of silences when the debates threatened to get out of control.
The clear winner was Twitter and Instagram. Check out some of the funniest memes from last night’s debate (and to think we’ll be treated to two more of these!). .
