Alexander took to Twitter to share the news with his followers.

“In other news: A mouse literally fell out of the ceiling in our White House booth and landed on my lap,” he wrote.

PETA caught wind of the viral mouse and has now claimed they will be sending a ‘humane trap’ to get the creature out.

“The White House is this mouse’s house, too, but we’d rather that she be evicted than eviscerated, so we’re providing a humane trap that allows her to be put outdoors safely,” The organizations President Ingrid Newkirk said in a statement. “Effective rodent-control measures are those that keep smart, gentle mice out of glue traps and reporters’ laps without harming them.”
