The Making Of The Ken Bone Meme
Ken Bone, an undecided voter who was chosen to ask questions after the second presidential debate, has taken over the internet. His performance at the debate has led to the creation of innumerable Ken Bone memes.
What made him so instantly lovable? Was it his now famous red sweater, his overly honest demeanor, or was it the fact that he has remained undecided this far into one of the most contentious elections on record?
Whatever the reason may be, Ken Bone was the star of the second presidential debate. Hopefully he will enjoy his time in the spotlight.
