Twitter reacts to the first 2020 presidential debate

Chris Wallace: “There will be no boo’s (booze) this evening”

Me: You ain’t the boss a me!#Debates2020

The Public overwhelming want to wait until after the election to appoint another Supreme Court Justice. Especially considering that this President lost the popular vote. #Debates2020 #WithBidenWeCan

“Elections have consequences.” - Trump. Interesting choice of words! #Debates2020

Trump says "I'm not elected for 3 years, I'm elected for 4 years."

BARACK OBAMA WAS ELECTED FOR 8 YEARS, NOT 7!!!!!

Somebody? ANYBODY? #Debates2020

— Elie Mystal (@ElieNYC) September 30, 2020

Biden says the American people have a right to have their say — that’s literally what the last election was, our say on the next four years. It’s within four years. The end. #Debates2020

Chris Wallace has already given Trump his first caution to shut up #Debates2020

— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) September 30, 2020

Trump is refusing to let the moderator ask his question!!
He knows he and his wig are losing 😂😂😂#Debates2020

THE HOST SHOULD BE ABLE TO MUTE MICROPHONES. I can’t believe I want this to be more like zoom. #Debates2020

BIDEN JUST CALLED TRUMP A CLOWN ON GLOBAL TELEVISION I AM FULLY AND TRULY DECEASED#Debates2020

— Aisha Tyler (@aishatyler) September 30, 2020

If Trump doesn't think at least 100 million Americans have pre-existing conditions, he simply does not know the lived experiences of everyday Americans. #Debates2020

— Lynda Carter (@RealLyndaCarter) September 30, 2020

I would like to propose cancelling the rest of these debates. I'm good after tonight. I'm good. #Debates2020

— Esther Choo, MD MPH (@choo_ek) September 30, 2020

"Will you shut up, man?" is a shameful thing to say to the President of the United States. #Debates2020

This is not the debate the country needs right now. Without a civil and robust exchange of ideas we all lose. #Debates2020

SO glad Trump is calling Joe out for saying closing border to China was xenophobic. #Debates2020 #DebateTuesday

Biden should continue to speak to the camera, to the people #PresidentialDebate #Debates2020

The world is laughing at us. #Debates2020

Chris Wallace's debate performance tonight is a great reminder that kindergarten teachers are underpaid. #Debates2020

— The Daily Show (@TheDailyShow) September 30, 2020

Joe Biden has not answered a single question asked of him.

This is painful to watch.

He is literally dodging every question. #Debates2020

— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) September 30, 2020

Apparently Biden just needs to keep taking aim at Trump’s intelligence. Cuz whew Trump got hot about that. #Debates2020

— Brittney Cooper (@ProfessorCrunk) September 30, 2020

Trump won’t mention that Coronavirus affects people with obesity and how many in this country have obesity. #Debates2020

— devon sawa (@DevonESawa) September 30, 2020

Trump said he wears masks when needed, but he didn’t wear a mask at a mask factory and has repeatedly been seen in public, indoors without a mask (against public health recommendations from his own advisers). #Debates2020

— John Haltiwanger (@jchaltiwanger) September 30, 2020

Oops, Joe just forgot what the question was...🤣#Debates2020

— Michael Nöthem (@mikandynothem) September 30, 2020

Trump: "We've had no problem whatsoever" with big rallies.

Herman Cain died of COVID-19 after attending one. #Debates2020

— Pod Save America (@PodSaveAmerica) September 30, 2020

Trump saying "We do 'em outside" about his rallies is not true. They just held two inside, with no social distancing or mask requirements. Why hasn't Biden or Wallace pointed that out? #Debates2020

— S.E. Cupp (@secupp) September 30, 2020

Conservatives absolutely will claim Trump won the debate because they see all his interrupting as domination as opposed to childishness #Debates2020

— Jessica Valenti (@JessicaValenti) September 30, 2020

Trump keeps making jokes, but the disparities in how Trump has handled COVID-19 has devastated communities like mine in St. Louis. This isn’t a laughing matter. #Debates2020

— Cori Bush (@CoriBush) September 30, 2020

Trump highlight— acknowledging that the people don’t want shutdowns and are suffering from alcoholism, drugs, divorce and suicide.

Biden is completely scripted and misreading America.

Americans aren’t scared about COVID. They are scared about more lockdowns. #Debates2020

— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) September 30, 2020

Biden just talked straight at the camera to the American people and very genuinely called out Trump for only paying $750 in taxes. Extremely powerful. #Debates2020

— Scott Dworkin (@funder) September 30, 2020

This debate don't need a moderator. It needs a bouncer.#Debates2020

"I'm the one that brought back football!" - Trump

With all due respect, I just don't think 200,000 families who lost their loved ones give a f*ck about football right now.#Debates2020

President Trump is letting people out of jail, who were locked up because of Joe Biden.

That’s the tweet. #Debates2020

— #ThePersistence (@ScottPresler) September 30, 2020

You cant say "this guy locked too many people up!" and then "wow he's so soft he won't even say the words law and order!" that is a massive contradiction. #Debates2020

— Secular Talk (@KyleKulinski) September 30, 2020

All jokes aside, I don’t think there’s anyone who could effectively moderate whatever this is. #Debates2020

And to think that people said Hillary was being dramatic when she said things about Trump. #Debates2020

"He's a racist!" Great argument, Joe. #Debates2020

Trump LITERALLY will NOT condemn white supremacists. Literally. Gave him 3 chances. HE WOULDN'T DO IT. #Debates2020

— Elie Mystal (@ElieNYC) September 30, 2020

Condemning white supremacists should not be followed by the word "but-"#Debates2020

— Esther Choo, MD MPH (@choo_ek) September 30, 2020

What did he just say to the Proud Boys?

"Stand back, and stand by"?#Debates2020

— David Gura (@davidgura) September 30, 2020

The President of the United States wouldn't publicly condemn white supremacists.

We’re almost done with the debate, and consensus is that Trump dominated… And turned off undecided voters in the process. #Debates2020
