US President Donald Trump was raked over the coals on Twitter for his praise of Vice President Mike Pence ― and criticism of Democratic vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris ― during Wednesday’s vice presidential debate.
Trump tweeted almost an hour into the debate that Pence was “doing GREAT!” and described California senator Harris as “a gaffe machine.”
Trump later claimed Pence had “WON BIG!”
Some Twitter users pointed out the irony of Trump ― who routinely misspeaks and often posts embarrassing typos on Twitter ― accusing someone else of committing a gaffe.
Others asked if the president was watching the same debate as everyone else.
