During the first presidential debate between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump on Monday night, the tone shifted from serious to comical when the Democratic nominee joked about finger-pointing over the course of the evening.
When asked by debate host Lester Holt to defend tax hikes for the wealthiest Americans, Clinton made an offhand remark that she’ll be held accountable for everything that transpires during the debate. “I have a feeling by the end of this evening I’m gonna be blamed for everything that’s ever happened,” she said.
Without missing a beat, Trump responded, “Why not?”
Clinton waved her hand and said sarcastically, “Why not? Yeah, why not. Just join the debate by saying more crazy things.”
