President Joe Biden was interrupted by the Easter Bunny at the White House on Monday.
Biden was on the South Lawn of the White House for an Easter egg roll when he wandered off and started talking to people.
As the president started commenting on Afghanistan and Pakistan at an Easter egg event, a costumed staffer rushed up to him and started waving its hands to interrupt him:

The costumed bunny figure redirected the president to the Easter Egg roll event.
Biden’s press assistant, Angela Perez, posted a picture of the bunny on her social media account:

After the event, Megan Hays, a special assistant to the president and director of message planning, revealed on social media that she was wearing the costume:

Biden was repeatedly redirected and reminded what to do during the event throughout the day.
At one point, the first lady instructed him to wave when he finished speaking:
