The twitterverse provided some reactions to the candidates positions on abortion:

Once the topic turned to immigration, Trump repeated his calls to deport undocumented immigrants, repeated all his stereotypes and concluded by saying, “we’re got some bad hombres here.”

During the discussion of nuclear weapons, Trump said that people have “no respect” for Clinton. She responded that Trump would “rather have a puppet for president.” Trump then replied, “You’re the puppet.”

Trump commented on his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin during the debate saying, “I’ve never met Putin. This is not my best friend.” Celebs seemed to disagree with the presidential candidate.

Wallace asked the candidates about their fitness to be president. He brought up the many allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault women have thrown at Trump in recent weeks; he also took Clinton to task over her leaked emails. Trump made the question about Clinton, saying that her campaign has encouraged violence at his rallies. And then he made himself the victim: “I think they either want fame,” he said of the women, “or her campaign did it.”

Many people noted Trump’s interjections while Clinton was speaking:

Wallace asked Clinton and Trump if they would accept the outcome of the election, which seemed to be a question that intended to make Trump talk about his recent comments about the election being “rigged.”

Other celebrities praised Clinton for exercising restraint, while criticizing Trump for seeming tense.

One part of last night’s debate that stood out to many was when Trump calling Clinton, “such a nasty woman.” During Clinton’s explanation of her entitlements policy, Trump interrupted with the now viral phrase.

Chelsea Handler wanted to know what type of people her followers are.

Yvette Nicole Brown called out some obvious contradictions.

Aidy Bryant decided to adopt the phrase herself.

Elizabeth Banks began to brainstorm some good ideas for a new catchphrase.

Many more moments started Twitter rants including Clinton’s ivory pantsuit and when Trump used the word Bigly.
