Hillary Clinton has been keeping busy of late, criss-crossing the country on a book tour to promote her autobiographical memoir Hard Choices. However, one hard choice that she faces is what to do about a certain giant, orange squirrel.
A man in a giant, orange squirrel costume, that is.
The RNC has tasked one of its interns with donning a furry squirrel suit and trailing Hillary Clinton’s tour bus like a Deadhead, stopping where she stops and joining in on the festivities—except that the squirrel’s agenda differs slightly from the former First Lady’s.
While Mrs. Clinton signs books, kisses hands, and shakes babies, the sciurine RNC operative makes his way through the crowd handing out anti-Hillary leaflets, all while wearing a T-shirt which reads “Another Clinton in the White House is Nuts.”
The fluffy Republican spokes-squirrel also has his own Twitter account (@HRCSquirrel) and has sent out some fairly awesome tweets:
There's no question: Another Clinton in the White House is nuts!

Hillary Clinton decided to see what the fuss was all about and meet her fuzzy little follower. The encounter was a friendly one and ended in Mrs. Clinton giving the squirrel a signed copy of Hard Choices:
