Ah, New York! The Big Apple! Is there anything more iconic to the city than the Statue of Liberty? Or Times Square?

Perhaps one thing: a rat, stuck inside a MetroCard machine.

Prepare yourself. There's video.

New Yorkers wished they were more shocked by the image of a rat stuck inside the change slot of a subway card vending machine, but, sadly, things like this are what New York is all about.

The MTA believes someone may have planted the rat in the slot.

How a person got ahold of the rat or why is unclear.

Rats seem to cause a lot of trouble. Just recently, a rat pulled a fire alarm in D.C., causing chaos to ensue.

And of course many people are drawing comparisons between MetroCard rat and 2015's infamous Pizza Rat, who stole a slice of classic New York pizza and dragged it across a subway platform.

Ted Cruz Clashes With 'Crazy' MTG Over Her Cryptic Post Alluding That 'The Jews' Are Trying To Kill Her

Texas MAGA Republican Senator Rafael "Ted" Cruz raised eyebrows when he attacked Georgia QAnon/MAGA Republican Representative and conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) for being antisemitic.

MTG has promoted some antisemitic conspiracy theories in the past, like Jewish space lasers that control the weather or start wildfires, but this time people are calling Cruz out for reaching in an attempt to discredit the Georgia Republican and protect Trump from what's being concealed in FBI, Department of Justice, and court records relating to the indictment of Jeffrey Epstein on charges of sex trafficking of minors.
