CNN Reporter Bravely Fights Off Raccoons Before His Report
CNN reporter Joe Johns was about to do a report standing on the White House lawn, but had to quickly shoo off some raccoons beforehand - and people online loved it.
The raccoons have been causing issues around the White House for a while. To be fair, no one is really sure if it's multiple raccoons or just one. But, it seems like there is probably a few of them.
The Washingtonian reports that there was once even a pet raccoon in the White House. President Calvin Coolidge had a pet raccoon named Rebecca that he brought to White House events like the annual Easter Egg Roll.
