While attempting to film a segment on CNN, reporter Joe Johns was harassed....by a trash panda.
That's right—the first part of his segment was largely overshadowed by Johns telling a little racoon to "git!" as well as trying to scare it away.
Oh my god. @joejohnscnn telling a raccoon to get lost is giving me life. https://t.co/Pa8GsUD4sZ— Donie O'Sullivan (@Donie O'Sullivan) 1602075526.0
After, he went back to reporting.
The clip then cut to a second raccoon encounter.
"Friggin' raccoons man! Again! God, it's the second time."

@donie @joejohnscnn Not "Get Lost", just "Git" 🤣🤣🤣 that's an old southern term.— Lomiejoy✊🏾✍🏾👑🧵🪡🎶 (@Lomiejoy✊🏾✍🏾👑🧵🪡🎶) 1602076494.0
Johns later said:
"Raccoons, stand back."
"It always comes around right around when I'm gonna go on TV."

@donie @joejohnscnn Very funny. Wonder how many crayfish Trump had to offer the raccoon to do that to CNN? 🤣— Mark C. Dowis (@Mark C. Dowis) 1602080653.0
People on Twitter noticed the parallel between Joe Johns' segment and Parks & Recreation.

As Autumn advances, small animals like raccoons are foraging heavily to get through the Winter.
Johns should count himself lucky. Instead of Rocket, it could have been Pepé Le Pew.
