Tonight, June 27, 2019, was the second Democratic debate. From Pete Buttigieg calling out Republican Christians, to Kamala Harris taking on Joe Biden, to Biden freaking out about Bernie Sanders’ hand, there were a lot of moments to remember. Here’s a look back at what happened, shared through the best memes and tweets about the debate.
This first tweet might sum up the debate well:
#DemocraticDebate2020 #DNCDebate #DebateNight #debate
Swalwell: “pass the torch!”
Author lady: “we’re not sure what that means slick.”
Hickenlooper: “science!!!”
Harris: sup homies 😎
Bernie: *waves finger angrily
Yang: “guys it’s a real plan!!!”
Gillabrand: LOUD NOISES.
Biden:
Some people liked how Joe Biden went after Trump almost immediately.
And Pete Buttigieg won the contest for who spoke Spanish first.
Pete Buttigieg first candidate to speak Spanish tonight. Who had that on the bingo card? #DemDebate2
Others had no idea who some of the candidates were.
I have literally never seen this guy before #DemDebate2
The “pass the torch” comment will be remembered.
“Joe Biden was right when he said it was time to pass the torch to a new generation of Americans when he said it 32 years ago.” @RepSwalwell taking the first shot at the frontrunner in #DemDebate
And Bernie’s expressions will be tough to forget.
Things got out of hand quick, but it was entertaining.

And Marianne Williamson caught some attention.
If 2016 was any indication Marianne Williamson is going to be president. #DemDebate2
Tell ‘em Marianne #DemDebate2
Kamala Harris did a great job tonight. Her fight with Biden was fire.

Kamala Harris is EVERYTHING.
Who else would love to see @realDonaldTrump locked in the ring with her? #DemDebate2 #2020DemocraticDebate
And that moment when Buttigieg called out Republican Christians on their hypocrisy…
thank you for calling out the CHRISTIAN HYPOCRISY of the @GOP‘s immigration policies, Pete!
Then there was this moment between Biden and Bernie.
Joe Biden vs. Bernie’s fingers.
Biden certainly was the source of a lot of anger.
Damn, even bland white dude going after Biden rn lmao #DemDebate2
But at some points, it was Kamala Harris who stole the show.
Kamala Harris, every time she speaks. #DemDebate2
But Andrew Yang didn’t wear a tie and that got a lot of attention (along with his unique UBI idea.)
This did happen quite a lot:
No, NO I’m talking now #DemDebate2
And maybe Marianne Williamson will be the surprise candidate who takes everything.
Her comment here was amusing.
Then there was Bernie’s moment after the debate.
This is a developing story.
