Twitter buzzes over a fly in Pence’s hair, speculates about his left eye

During the vice presidential debate on Wednesday, many Twitter users were fixated not on the arguments — but on a fly that landed on Mike Pence’s head...But Twitter users’ first fixation was on Pence’s left eye. The eye was red from the moment he took his seat behind a plexiglass barrier.

Pence brought a lot to the debate last night, a fly and a red eye.
