It was funny, it was pointed and it was shared by thousands and thousands of people who were watching Trump vs Clinton.
Moustafa Bayoumi is the author of This Muslim American Life and a university professor in New York.
When Trump faced a question from a Muslim in the audience about being "labeled" a threat by Trump, Bayoumi Tweeted this - and it spread across social media:
I'm a Muslim, and I would like to report a crazy man threatening a woman on a stage in Missouri. #debate

The other viral star of the night? A man named Kenneth (or Ken) Bone, who asked a very sensible question about energy policy, but who became an Internet darling almost instantly:
The last question is from #kenbone in the audience and it’s on energy policy and jobs https://t.co/e9uB2viYhM pic.twitter.com/mefI8bPK1B
