While much more civil than the chaotic presidential debate last month, the vice presidential debate between Vice President Mike Pence and Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) wasn't without its memorable moments.

While Pence may have done significant preparation before facing off with the formidable former prosecutor, the most viral moment for the Vice President came off the top of his head...literally.

As Pence pretended that systemic racism doesn't exist in the United States, a fly landed on his head and remained there for over two minutes.

Watch below.

Before the debate was even over, multiple satirical Twitter accounts for the fly on Pence's head were created, and the moment became meme gold.



It wasn't long before the Biden/Harris campaign seized on the viral moment by selling novelty fly swatters.

The "Truth over Flies Fly Swatter," marketed at $10, sold out by the morning after the debate.

People applauded the latest item for sale on the campaign's website.





Meanwhile, the memes kept rolling in.



The future of the next presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden is uncertain.

With Trump testing positive for the virus last week, the Commission on Presidential Debates announced that the next debate would be held virtually. Trump said he would not be bothering with a virtual debate.

Lee claimed in his proposal that there is an "extensive process for interested parties like States and local governments to nominate land for disposal to meet housing and community needs," noting that it specifically exempts national parks, monuments, and federally designated wilderness areas from potential land sales.

Trump Ripped For Complaining That Americans Get 'Too Many' Federal Holidays Off Work

While it was ultimately former President Joe Biden who established Juneteenth as a federal holiday, President Donald Trump—who once campaigned on that promise—took to Truth Social on Juneteenth to whine about the number of "non-working holidays" Americans get, claiming that it costs businesses "billions of dollars."

Juneteenth is derived from June 19, 1865, when Union troops led by General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and declared that all enslaved African Americans in the state were free.

TikToker @cassdamm, who previously went viral for sharing the unhinged, five-page letter her 15-year-old son's principal sent, complaining about him "wandering the halls" and "being truant" for buying a drink on his way back to class, is openly celebrating the death of her father, but it's not for the reason you'd think.

Kristin Hughes, or @im.krispy on TikTok, reached out to the platform for a second opinion while she was trying to list a chair on Facebook Marketplace. Even though she wasn't charging anything for it, the woman who was interested in it continued to inquire for more photos and to know more about the color of the couch.
