*Following the vice presidential debate, which caught Mike Pence with a fly on his head, the Joe Biden campaign started selling “Truth over Flies” fly swatters, and within two hours of first going up they sold out.
Minutes after the Wednesday night debate concluded, Biden tweeted a photo of holding up a fly swatter, with the caption, “Pitch in $5 to help this campaign fly.” Simultaneously, the campaign began selling blue fly swatters with white wording, “TRUTH over FLIES: BIDEN HARRIS.”
Within the first two hours of going on sale, a campaign spokesperson says they sold out of nearly 35,000 swatters.
“We saw the internet and our supporters sharing a viral moment online, so our digital team came together on the fly,” Biden’s campaign merchandise director Zach McNamara, said. “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will always choose truth over lies, science over fiction, and unity over division.”
