2024 GOP presidential candidates Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis reacted to news that cocaine was found in the West Wing of the White House over the Fourth of July holiday. Both used the opportunity to take shots at the Biden Administration.
“Does anybody really believe that the COCAINE found in the West Wing of the White House, very close to the Oval Office, is for the use of anyone other than Hunter & Joe Biden?” former President Trump shared on TRUTH Social.
“But watch, the Fake News Media will soon start saying that the amount found was ‘very small,’ & it wasn’t really COCAINE, but rather common ground up Aspirin, & the story will vanish. Has Deranged Jack Smith, the crazy, Trump-hating Special Prosecutor, been seen in the area of the COCAINE? He looks like a crackhead to me!”
Trump followed up his initial post with the following: “Where are the White House SECURITY TAPES, like the ones I openly and happily gave to Deranged Jack Smith, which will quickly show where the Cocaine in the White House came from??? They already know the answer, but probably don’t like it!”
Meanwhile, the Sunshine State Gov shared his thoughts with Tomi Lahren on her OutKick podcast, stressing that cocaine is “not something that we see” at the Governor’s Mansion in Tallahassee.
“I’ve long believed, I think a lot of us have believed, that the Biden administration’s been blowing it on a lot of fronts. But I guess it’s a little bit more literal than even I had thought,” DeSantis said.
During Wednesday’s White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that the Secret Service is investigating the situation.
