A furry rodent rushed the stage outside Howard University just as Democrat presidential loser Kamala Harris was about to give her concession speech.
On Wednesday, viewers awaiting the speech noticed a squirrel scurrying around Harris’ stage, which many took as a sign Peanut, the innocent squirrel recently euthanized by the New York government, was signaling his approval of the event.

OMEN: Ahead of Kamala Harris's bizarre concession speech a squirrel took the stage. Was he sent by the ghost of Peanut the Rescue Squirrel? Is he the ghost of Peanut? Was he looking for revenge? Did the Secret Service euthanize him before her speech?

“Bro, it’s Peanut!” one incredulous streamer exclaimed.

“No way! He’s doing a victory lap on her! Oh no!” the streamer said, as the squirrel explored the stage.
The serendipitous sighting followed shocking news last week that the State of New York had raided a family’s home and abducted Peanut, a viral social media sensation, before executing him.

Ahead of Election Day, social media users railed against the government overreach that killed the squirrel and rallied behind him, with many saying their votes cast in Trump’s favor would also be “for Peanut.”

If Trump wins, the GOP should get rid of the elephant and adopt the squirrel as its symbol. #ForPeanut pic.twitter.com/kk9NAGLa2m
