Last night's VP debate resulted in some serious drama, but now, the one only thing stealing people's attention is Mike Pence's eye ... Twitter just can't get enough and neither can we.
Have a look for yourselves...
Last night, Democratic challenger, Kamala Harris, and Trump’s Vice-president, Mike Pence, went head-to-head in the year's first and only vice presidential debate.
The pair were debating with a Plexiglass shield between them...

It's better to be safe than sorry at this point. A health and safety precaution requested by the Biden-Harris campaign, the Associated Press reported.However, concerns regarding the distance between the podiums were still rife.
This is INSANE!! Move the damn podiums MUCH further apart! There’s no reason in the world to have @KamalaHarris sta… https://t.co/I7t1tEMl9b— Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 (@Jon Cooper 🇺🇸)1602073541.0
Many even believe that, thanks to the virus, the whole debate should have been virtual...

Which was dominated heavily by the coronavirus crisis, the very thing that hospitalized the President just days ago.And weirdly enough, fracking too.
First, let's meet our candidates, and get a little bit of an insight into their game plans.

These strategies have been well-thought-out and designed to make their opponent surrender, but... It never really works out that way, does it?Standing for the Republicans, we have the current vice president, Mike Pence.
It is believed that Pence had a swift plan of attack...

And some of his preparation has involved developing ways to strike his female opponent "without opening himself up to criticism that he is acting in a disrespectful or sexist way," according to NBC News.And, for the Democrats, we have Kamala Harris.
Harris won rave reviews for her performance in an early Democratic debate when she criticized Biden for his record on race...

So, last night, people were expecting a real show.Axios reported that Harris is similarly planned to go in on the attack...
via: Getty
And it was anticipated that she would rebuke both Trump and Pence over their response to coronavirus, healthcare, and beyond.The California senator had apparently “planned a handful of anti-Trump zingers"...

But, given the President’s ill-health, she toned it down.Well, everything except her facial expressions.
And we can't forget about the eye rolls, can we?
At one point, Pence even said that Harris and Biden were "playing with people's lives..."
But it didn't matter about all the drama, because people were only talking about Mike Pence's suspicious eyes ...
