Lester Holt moderated the first presidential debate of the 2016 election990 ArchivesMonday night, and people were anticipating a tense night.
However, between two opinionated and loquacious candidates like Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, people were dissapointed that Holt was bulldozed and interrupted throughout the night.
Holt's silence and lack of fact checking during the debate left a lot to be desired, and people on the internet were sure to let their opinions known even louder than the candidates on stage.

Donald Trump, on the other hand, thought Holt's moderation was tremendous.
