    Amanda Terkel Retweeted Matt Fuller

    Once was eating in Senate cafeteria. Mouse (or rat?) was running around. Guy just stomped on it in front of all of us. It was horrifying.https://twitter.com/MEPFuller/status/918146199529680896 …

    A Capitol Police office is currently telling reporters how he saw a rat just outside the Senate last night the size of my shoe. I'll note here that I basically wear clown shoes.

        The US Capital is currently invested with vermin that need to be exterminated. But I’m not talking about innocent little mice.

        I thought most of the rats in the Senate were at least the size of a turtle man.

        Rat?? Lemme see, lemme see. I guess it couldn't have been Trump running around the Senate. He only rides....around the golf course.
