Just off her stint as a Rio Olympics commentator, Leslie Jones took to Twitter Monday night to live tweet the biggest battle between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump since they hit the campaign road.

Ok I've decided I'm live tweeting the debates!! I will not know what the fuck I'm looking at but hell its got to be fun!!

As always, her tweets were nothing short of hilarity — like most of us, Jones can find the comedy in a reality star like Trump being allowed to go head to head with Clinton, whose resume in politics is robust and extensive – male or female.

Jones even called out Lester Holt for the many times Clinton was interrupted by her opponent and offered her services as back up.
