P'nut, an Instagram-famous squirrel that was seized and euthanized by New York state, has entered the political fray, with Republicans saying its killing is representative of "Democratic overreach."

The right has adopted a euthanized squirrel as a symbol for government overreach. P’Nut’s dad’s OnlyFans account is booming.

Possession of wildlife is generally prohibited in New York State, even of P’Nut, who had half a million followers on Instagram.
