The first of several Democratic presidential debates kicked off on Tuesday night and lots of people were watching. Many of those people had smartphones, and several of them took the opportunity to transform the political goings-on into pure comedy using Snapchat’s new selfie lenses and a few well-placed emoji. Have a look.

It’s just a shame that the infamous “Rainbow Vomit” filter was removed before the presidential hopefuls had a chance to take the stage.
