October 7, 2020 was different.
This,saida Brookings editorial, was the “most important vice presidential debate in history.”
During the presidential head-to-head, Chris Wallace came off as a friendly, if baffled uncle.
Susan Page had the grit of a drill Sargeant.
Take Ivanka Trump’s “I’m innocent"debate day get-up, for example.
Or, asThe Washington Postpointed out, the Trump team’s refusal to wear face masks.
And while Susan Page’s wardrobe choice was demure, there was one accessory that the Twitterverse latched onto.
Twitter’s first theory about Susan Page’s neon green bracelet
Her neon green snap-on bracelet.
Of course, the world would see it.
The room was dark.
Unencumbered by other distractions, the Neon green fashion statement was hard not to stare at.
What message, then, was the vice presidential debate moderator trying to send with her puzzling accessory?
The debate’s social media followers have two big theories when it comes to Susan Page’s snap-on bracelet.

This one hits a little closer to the truth.

Are you ready for this?
“Susan Page got a bracelet for a free shot of bleach after the debate,“snarkedone viewer.
It must be COVID, social mediasoundedthe alarm bells.
(Yes, for those of you wondering, COVID can cause pinkeye.
At one event, saysRolling Stone, he sat in front of Senator Mike Lee.
Days later, Lee tested positive.
Moderator Page, in other words, would have had good reason to worry.
PerHollywood Reporter, all media attending the VP debate took a COVID 19 test.
After, they were given wristbands, as a green-light to go in.
Our bets are on those wrist bands being neon.
