2 Different Planets: Twitter Users Roast Dueling Trump-Biden Town Halls

The events, one on ABC and one on NBC at the same time, couldn't have been more different in tone and substance.

President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden took part in dueling town hall events on Thursday night.

The two televised Q&A sessions were held after Trump backed out of a debate that had been scheduled between the two when organizers switched to a remote format after the president’s recent coronavirus diagnosis. 

On NBC, Trump refused to denounce the QAnon conspiracy theory and made up false statistics about face masks. On ABC, Biden delivered lengthy answers on issues ranging from climate change to support for people of color. 

Twitter users couldn’t get over the contrasts:
