DETROIT — While Donald Trump and Marco Rubio debated about policy and hand size during the GOP debate Thursday night, some audience members had some fun with their camera time.
Seated behind moderator and Fox News host Chris Wallace, one man decided to take advantage of where he was seated and hit the dab.

Two teen girls seated behind Fox News anchor Meygn Kelly repeatedly hit the dab when they knew they were in a camera shot.

The dance comes from the Atlanta hip-hop scene and originated with the rap group Migos.
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton made the dance widely popular by doing it to celebrate football plays.
So who noticed the girls giving homage to Cam Newton with a little #GOP #Dab ... #America #GOPDebate #Decision2016 pic.twitter.com/aQwybPsxtV

Some saw the humor in the girls dabbing at the debate.
The best thing about the GOP debate is watching people dab in the crowd😂

But others were not amused by their moves.
You know the dab is dead when it makes an appearance at the #GOPDebate. R.I.P #dab
