Arguably the most poignant tweet of the night wasn’t sent during the candidates’ 90 minutes on stage. It wasn’t even sent in the lead-up to the debate. It was sent four years ago. The tweet from the @big_bird account is the only one ever sent by the user, and probably garnered little appeal in the years since. Until last night, when Mitt Romney explained he’d cut the subsidy to PBS, despite admitting that he “likes Big Bird.”
