A gang of mischievous raccoons caused chaos when they "attacked" members of the media at the White House.

Four of the furry pests went after journalists with one photographer and a reporter having their clothes grabbed as they worked on the North Lawn.

"Strong Pawnee vibes at White House this morning as a raccoon attacked multiple news crews on North Lawn. allegedly grabbed pant leg of a photographer & then a corespondent before being fended off," tweeted Paula Reid of CBS News.

The incident quickly went viral on social media with some Twitter users suggesting they had been sent by Donald Trump to exact revenge for coverage of his tax controversy.

They're attracted to trash so no wonder they're wandering into the WH since the biggest trash pile lives there.

Trump is asking to his people if he could make the racoon run as vicepresident

Raccoons definitely top the list of animals most likely to be Trump supporters if they understood human politics.

Last week they were forming gangs in the park, now they are attacking journalists.

Something needs to be done about the radicalization of racoons.

In politics, this sort of thing happens.

Jimmy Carter rabbit incident

President Carter was fishing in his hometown of Plains, Georgia, on April 20, 1979, alone in a flat-bottomed boat while staff were on land nearby. Carter said a rabbit being chased by hounds "jumped in the water and swam toward my boat. When he got almost there, I splashed some water with a paddle."

When Carter returned to his office, his staff did not believe his story, saying rabbits could not swim, or that one would never approach a person threateningly. But a White House photographer had taken a picture of the incident, which was released by a later administration.

Yeah, we need to let them carry out their plan. When the press stops asking Trump questions about Megan Markle and more about his illegal shit, the racoons can be called off.

Isn't it an open secret that the WH is in a terrible state and has rodents and the like?

Edit: oh wow, no wonder there's raccoons, the place is an absolute shit tip:

The White House may be elaborately decorated for the holidays this time of year, but work orders reveal the presidential mansion is also infested with mice, cockroaches and ants.

The vermin came to light when NBC News4 Washington obtained hundreds of work requests stretching back two years. Maintenance staff members at the White House were asked to respond to reports of mice in both the White House Navy mess and in the Situation Room, according to NBC.

Staffers also found cockroaches in at least four different places on the White House grounds. Another report showed ants in the White House chief of staff's office.

The raccoons are just trying to warn them that Trump is nearby and that they should run.

More images back from the "more peaceful times" she mentions.



Continuing the "they love trash" theme, you can see the Raccoons have a preference for the Fox News table.
