ABC 7 News' Rebecca Cooper appears in a "Transformers 3" scene playing a CNN reporter. Washington Post was on location during the scene and recorded the news Cooper was reporting in front of the Us Capitol building. Spoilers Ahead: Looking into the camera, Cooper says: "It's been a remarkable series of events this morning at the Capitol, after the Un's defiant gesture of support, Congress was quick to react calling for an emergency vote of its own. A few moments ago, legislation was passed to exile the Autobots from American soil. Us military alliance with them is officially over. The Us military remains at its highest level of alert and says it remains prepared to fight." We've already seen "Autobots Go Home" graffiti (pictured) on the sets of the movie, but now it seems that the Us government is getting in on kicking the robots out of the country and possibly off Earth.
