Check Our Feed: Comedians React to Debate 3 on Twitter
Don’t Like Your Followers? Try Ours. Comedians We Follow Reacting to Wednesday’s Debate on Twitter
We love the people we follow on Twitter. We follow more than 2,100 of the funniest people on the planet, and there’s no better time to follow every comedian than during a debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Once again, last night our feed was flying too quickly too see everything our Twitter friends were writing but we did our best to keep up while watching the debate at The Stand comedy club in New York City. But here are more than 25 of our favorite tweets from last night’s debate, giving a glimpse into the comedy world’s reaction to Trump/Clinton 3.
Some of the most popular topics covered by comics bumping heads running for the joke on Twitter last night:
- the water,
- bad hombres,
- puppet talk,
- the “bigly or big league” debate,
- tweets about “ripping” the baby out,
- Trump’s Hillary impression, and
- whether or not Trump was on tranquilizers.
We’re not going to play favorites but if we had to pick a Twitter MVP last night, we’d be looking at you Larry Wilmore, and you Sal Vulcano, and yes, you too Mike Lawrence.
Why does Donald Trump always squint as if he's standing on the equator, starring into the sun??
