The campaign manager for Donald Trump accused Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine of sexism for interrupting the female moderator of Tuesday night’s debate.
“How many times has @TimKaine ignored and interrupted the female moderator tonight?” asked Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s campaign manager.
She capped off her tweet: “#sexist.”
Kaine interrupted debate moderator Elaine Quijano, a CBS News anchor, countless times as he faced off with his Republican opponent, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.
Kaine’s interruptions were not only noticed by Republicans.
David Axelrod, a former senior adviser to President Barack Obama, made note of it on Twitter:
.@timkaine is interrupting more than @mike_pence, which I don't think is serving him well. Scoring more on positives. #VPDebate

Tuesday night's political duel in Virginia was the only scheduled vice presidential debate of 2016.
