Twitter Fell in Love With Kenneth Bone, the Man Who Asked a Debate Question on Energy
Twitter is good for many things. It can be used to direct attention someplace. It can be used to point out jokes that users may have otherwise missed. It can even be used to birth a star!
Look how much people on Twitter love Kenneth Bone, who asked a question during tonight’s town hall-style debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
A parody account of the man has already racked up nearly 2000 followers.
