"Pence lies with a smile. He's a disgrace. Part of being a great leader is being an honest person. Kamala Harris is an honest person. She's ready to lead on day one. … If we keep talking about the fly then we aren't talking about Kamala's brilliant debate performance. Don't let the other side have the fly as a distraction. This debate was a disaster for Pence. Pence was Trump with a smile. Same person. Different delivery. #TrumpPenceFailure" —Alyssa Milano
