WASHINGTON — A White House press briefing was interrupted Monday by a fly buzzing around Press Secretary Jen Psaki's head.
A reporter points out the fly, and Psaki swats it away.
"At least it's not a cicada," she said with a laugh before continuing to field questions.
Cicadas played a role in grounding a White House press plane last month, and even went after the President of the United States. Psaki was safe from the red-eyed bugs, since their stay in the DMV is coming to a close.
But it's not the fist time a fly has plagued the White House staff. You may remember the viral moment during the Vice Presidential debate last October when a fly landed on Mike Pence's head while he was discussing race in America. The Pence fly even inspired a bobblehead.
Presumably this is not the same fly that bothered Pence, and so far this moment hasn't taken off quite like it did for him, but who knows? Maybe a bobblehead will be in Psaki's future as well.
