It’s a real quack-down!

A viral video shows a mother duck and her ducklings waltzing under a fence leading to the White House in what might be the least threatening invasion in history.

CNN’s White House correspondent Jim Acosta captured the cute moment and posted it to Twitter, where it was viewed over 1.5 million times.

The most adorable moment unfolds after a duckling stumbles on a step leading up to the gate. Initially, the feathery family leaves the little guy behind — but like a good mother — the mama duck turns around and waits for the chick to rejoin the group.

“He did it, he did it,” Acosta says.

Twitter erupted in a flurry over the fowls — which inevitably turned political.

“Glad to see a decent family move in,” @randomlocura wrote.

“They better be careful, this administration likes to separate families,” another person tweeted.
