White House counselor Kellyanne Conway might have seen a rat in front of the White House, and no it wasn’t a leaker.
During an interview with CNN outside the White House on Friday, Conway paused for a brief moment as she apparently witnessed a rodent run nearby.
“God, I hope that’s a squirrel and not a rat,” she said. “Hi, squirrel.”
CNN’s Alisyn Camerota laughed and Conway noted, “It’s better than the lawnmower that’s always back there.”
Kellyanne Conway interrupted her CNN interview this morning to say hi to a squirrel.

The exchange became a Twitter moment as it made its rounds on social media with people finding humor in Conway greeting a squirrel.
