"When I got in my car to leave for the debate, I ripped the seat out of the pants and destroyed the suit, and had to immediately switch to the nicest thing I have in less than a minute, which is the red sweater," he told Inside Edition.
Bone, dressed in the humble red pullover, asked an earnest question about energy at the debate on Sunday night – but before he even finished, social media users were going crazy over his appearance.
In a multitude of memes, some compared him to Big Al, a character fromToy Story 2.
Before the debate, the coal plant operator from Illinois had just seven Twitter followers. Today, he has 87,000 and counting.
One fan even created a YouTube song in honor of Bone, singing, "You had your moment, yeah, and you completely owned it."

Bone replied, “The short answer is that my wife dresses me.”
