During any presidential debate, the amount of commentary on Twitter far exceeds that of the talking heads on the various networks. This was confirmed during Wednesday’s debate when members of the Philadelphia 76ers— specifically Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons—expressed their thoughts on the battle between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

After Simmons (who is Australian) put in his two cents, Embiid was quick to come back with a witty response.

With the debates being as ridiculous as they have been, we will take as much humor as we possibly can. This is especially true when some other athletes are throwing out much less funny takes on both candidates.

Keep up the good work, Joel. There’s still 20 more days until Election Day.
