Live television doesn't always go as planned. Just ask Ashlee Simpson.

So in the second hour of last night's Democratic presidential debate—when the microphones of the hosts from the first hour were left on, amplifying green room conversations over the debate questions—hosts and candidates alike shrugged and laughed before the network went to a break.

So when Trump had the gall to rail against the network's microphones, people didn't hesitate to clap back.







Besides, as Trump learned firsthand, a hot mic gaffe isn't a deal-breaker when it comes to getting elected.

Awkward Typo In Elon Musk's Bizarre 'Education Department' Trump Meme Is A Total Self-Own

Billionaire Elon Musk was widely mocked after he celebrated President Donald Trump's executive order to begin to dismantle the Department of Education (DOE) by posting a meme of Trump at the department's grave, only for an awkward misspelling to get all the attention.
