When Meyers asked him how he felt about that he declined to comment, he said he didn't want to "ruffle any feathers."

Meyers asked Big Bird how he found out he was mentioned in the debate Bird replied, "Oh, I got a million Tweets." That night twitter seen a spike in tweets about Big Bird, which became a trending topic during debate night and received 135K tweets per minute.
