Donald Trump remained silent and nodded meekly when his rival for the White House, incumbent President Joe Biden pointed out that he's a convict.
"The only person on this stage that is a convicted felon is the man I'm looking at right now," Biden told Trump while throwing daggers with his eyes.
The response had been provoked after the 45th president was posed to answer for his response during the siege on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

"The 'Unselect Committee' which is basically two horrible Republicans that are all gone now, out of office and Democrats, all Democrats — they destroyed and deleted all of the information they found because they found out we were right," Trump replied.
"And they deleted and destroyed all the information and they should go to jail for that. If a Republican did that they would go to jail."
Biden tried to clarify what distinguishes him from Trump — while Biden believes Trump was culpable on Jan. 6, he also accused Trump of making promises to commute their sentences when many who were convicted don't deserve such mercy.
After he called Trump a "convicted felon" he turned to the moderators: "Fact of the matter is what he's telling you is simply not true."
"Fact is there was no effort on his part to stop what was going on Capitol Hill. Every one of those people that's convicted should serve and be convicted."
Trump's excessive nodding in the moment of being called a convicted felon didn't go unnoticed.
"Okay but Trump nodding like 'yeah you got me in a convicted felon' is f------ sending me looooool," wrote @j51Roper.
Galen Irias also saw Trump caught in a vulnerable moment, seeing him "nodding his head pretending to listen, and inadvertently nodding when being accused about negative stuff."
"Trump just nodding his head while biden lists his history of sexual assault man what am i watching for real,"@plainhateful.
Noah van Mierlo also wondered how Biden can say “you molested a woman in public” and Trump "just there nodding."
"lmao Trump nodding along with being called a convicted felon," @afrocosmist.
