Hysterical Video Shows CNN Reporter Freaking Out After Cicada Lands On Him [VIDEO]
With all that is going on with the audits and now Trump being hunted by the vile left in an attempt to put him behind bars we could use a laugh, right?
Well never fear cause just as the left can infuriate us they also are good for a hilarious chuckle too.
On a live report, CNN reporter Manu Raju all of the sudden had a complete meltdown when a cicada crawled upon his shoulder.
Instead of the reporter playing it off and keeping his cool, Raju completely freaked out and then started to cuss all on live television. Then then the reporter proceeded to wave his arms around to get the bug to leave from his shoulder.
After the incident happened many people on the internet were quick to give Raju the new nickname Chief Cicada Correspondent.
You can watch the whole incident here since it all caught on camera:

The New York Post reported:
A cicada crawled onto a reporter’s head during a live shot in Washington, as the insect’s once-in-a-generation coming out party continues to make headlines.
CNN reporter Manu Raju tweeted a clip of him being bugged by the unwanted visitor — which appears to be almost the same size as the knot on his tie — while filming a stand-up at the US Capitol Thursday.
The large insect can be seen crawling up Raju’s lapel and onto the back of his neck, before the political reporter takes notice and flicks the insect out of his hair while screaming out in profanity.
“Do I have more on me?” Raju asks onlookers, as he starts to regain his composure.
“Are they in my hair?,” he asks, before punctuating the exchange with more profanity, which was bleeped out.
“Where the f*** are the cicadas coming from?!” Raju exclaims as he looks around the building’s rotunda in the 43-second clip.

The Hill adds:
CNN’s Chief Congressional Correspondent Manu Raju on Thursday shared a clip in which he’s interrupted by a cicada crawling on the back of his head.
In the 43-second clip shot in the Capitol — which may be terrifying to some viewers — Raju is seen asking when he will be in the air when a large cicada crawls onto the back of his neck.
Raju quickly reaches back and takes the insect off, spewing off a string of expletives.
Cicada season has recently begun with the noisy insects swarming over much of the eastern half of the U.S.
Cicadas spend the first 17 years of their life underground before emerging to breed and lay eggs. This most recent generation of cicadas has been dubbed “Brood X.”
This wasn’t the first time a CNN reporter got scared on a live shot.
Earlier this year another reporter was startled by a surprise video too:
