'I love that we have facts like Libya in disarray, Iraq in disarray, Syria in disarray, all under the tutelage of Hillary Clinton's State Department,' she said.

McEnany then claimed Trump had 'done great things too' in response to Bill Clinton's praise of his wife's record helping schools and adoptive parents.

'Well, that's great,' McEnany said.

'You know, Donald Trump has done great things in his private time, too, for veterans, all across his foundation.

'He's done great things, too. We've all done great things in our lives and I commend her for helping children, that's a commendable thing.'

But Rye struggled to hide her feelings at the comment, unleashing the eye roll.

It was the 'Eye Roll Heard 'Round The World', according to New York Mag, as social media went crazy.

However, Ms Rye has since lampooned the focus on her facial expression at the expense of what was being discussed.

'That moment when you feel like you've said some profound, BUT ONLY the (eye roll emoticons) goes viral?!' she tweeted beneath a GIF of the eye roll moment.
