Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton faced off for the third and final time on the debate stage Wednesday. The event, moderated by Fox News’ Chris Wallace, was held at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Ahead of the night’s showdown, Patton Oswalt, George Takei and more Hollywood stars took to Twitter to mock Trump’s decision to bring president Barack Obama’s half-brother and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to the debate forum as guests.
During the second face-off, the Republican presidential candidate invited several women who had accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault as town hall audience members.
