Rachel Maddow Asked Kamala Harris About The Fly On Pence's Head—And Her Response Was Gold
MSNBC

Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris appeared on MSNBC this past Wednesday, October 14, to speak with Rachel Maddow about the upcoming election.

Before the interview concluded, however, Maddow felt she had one last important question to ask the California Senator:


"I just realized I would kick myself if I didn't just ask you, before I let you go, if you noticed the fly on Vice President Pence's head at the time during the debate? Or if that was something only — we could see it at home. Could you see it sitting next to him?"

Harris's response was pitch perfect.

"You know, Rachel, I just — you know, I think that it's important that we kind of find a way, all of us, to move on and, you know, kind of fly away from this subject on to something else."



Twitter felt the funny moment was exactly what they needed in these stressful times.



It's good to know Kamala Harris was just as distracted by the fly as the rest of us were.



With the pandemic back on the rise across the country with no end in sight, it's important to enjoy the little things. Even things as small as a fly.


The fly has truly become one of our nation's political celebrities.


Who knows where the fly will appear next? Perhaps we can expect a cameo during the final Presidential debate! Only time will tell...
