You might be tempted to laugh at this news story, but don't.
We have to be as classy & dignified as possible when imagining raccoons attacking liberal journalists at the White House.
A raccoon reportedly attacked some reporters on the White House lawn Monday, according to CBS White House correspondent Paula Reid.
Reid tweeted that the animal “attacked multiple news crews on North Lawn. ” She included photographs, which apparently depicted the White House raccoons “in more peaceful times.”
“Strong Pawnee vibes at White House this morning as a raccoon attacked multiple news crews on North Lawn,” Reid wrote. “[The raccoon] allegedly grabbed pant leg of a photographer & then a corespondent [sic] before being fended off.”
Following the alleged attack, the White House reportedly reached out to the U.S. General Services Administration regarding the animals, Reid tweeted in an update.
