During the second presidential debate on Sunday night, celebrities took to Twitter to share their thoughts on everything from Donald Trump to Donald Trump to Donald Trump.
After the fallout from the release of that lewd video, it was hard to watch Trump discuss “locker room talk” in the same breath as “I respect women” ― and celebrities agreed.
Here are some of the things they had to say while the debate was going on:

The slight swaying in place -- is Trump drugged? This has a Dayquil/Xanax feel. He's certainly not answering the question. #debates
— Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) October 10, 2016
I feel as if Trump just turned to dust right now, no one would really be that surprised.

I have NEVER been prouder to stand WITH HER.
— Emmy Rossum (@emmyrossum) October 10, 2016
That's not just words. That's describing sexual assault. Which is what you said you did.
— Emmy Rossum (@emmyrossum) October 10, 2016
This is so uncomfortable and innopropriate #debates

You ain't gonna make America great or safe again!! Wtf!!
— Leslie Jones (@Lesdoggg) October 10, 2016
When Trump says it's just "locker room talk," he's defending the very culture that normalizes sexual assaults on women.

When four former presidents say your not fit to be president..

Dear @andyroddick , is this normal locker room talk? ✊🏽🙀? If so... 🔪🍆!
— Brooklyn Decker (@BrooklynDecker) October 10, 2016
Trump says 'just words, folks.' It's his accusation and his defence. Words don't matter. Facts don't matter. If they don't, we're all lost.

She's amazing - I can't concentrate, I'm so angry, and yet she's actually talking about policy!

Hopefully someone is explaining all this to Melania right now. #Debates

Can't you just picture Trump as a three year old? Sorry to offend toddlers. #Debate2016 #imwithher

Hillary, I'm all for going high when they go low, but if he disrespects you one more time I'd be ok to see a glimpse of low. #debate

Sorry I couldn't join you for this debate: just got out of a screening of Moana instead.
— Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) October 10, 2016
There should absolutely be a fact check screen on the bottom of this debate.
— Paul Wesley (@paulwesley) October 10, 2016
I know several wealthy people who have ALL paid their taxes. ALL. Even the GOPs. They are "real" businessmen. Not 6x bankruptcy frauds.

Thank you @MarthaRaddatz for attempting to direct him back to the questions.

While I may not be able to moderate a debate, sounds like Mike Pence and Donald Trump might need to come on my show to talk things out.
— Jerry Springer (@jerryspringer) October 10, 2016
The Donald wants to double down in drilling and setting the world on fire by dumping more carbon into the world atmosphere.
— Mark Ruffalo (@MarkRuffalo) October 10, 2016
Well i can see how he's personally creating wind power. #Debates2016
— Ana Gasteyer (@AnaGasteyer) October 10, 2016
If nothing else, this shit-show should put to rest the idiotic idea that these two are in any way equally problematic. HE IS A FOOL.
— olivia wilde (@oliviawilde) October 10, 2016
"I respect his children!" Good one Hilary! lol
— Leslie Jones (@Lesdoggg) October 10, 2016
This is a bully. This is rudeness on display. I hope if our kids see this they know this is what a bully looks like. Teaching moment #debate
