Reporter gets disrupted by raccoon just before live; Video goes viral

A video of racoon interrupting a CNN reporter moments before he went live outside the White House has gone viral.

In the video, CNN senior Washington correspondent Joe Johns shouting “get lost” and throwing something before he turns back to face the camera.  After the incident, Johns said that this was the second time a raccoon had interrupted a live broadcast.

A CNN report suggested that Johns was seconds away from going live to provide an update on the US president's health when he spotted the raccoon.
