DeSantis and Trump address White House cocaine controversy.

Daily Wire NewsJuly 5, 2023

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump — the leading Republican Party candidates for the 2024 presidential nomination — had some interesting responses to the discovery of cocaine in the White House this week.

It all started when officials found a mysterious white powdery substance in the West Wing on Sunday. Initial testing indicated that it was cocaine, and on Wednesday, the Secret Service confirmed that it was indeed cocaine after further analysis.

When asked about the news during an interview with Tomi Lahren on “Outkick,” DeSantis couldn’t help but make a witty remark. He said, “I’ve long believed, I think a lot of us have believed that the Biden administration has been blowing it on a lot of fronts. But I guess it’s a little bit more literal than even I had thought. I could tell you in Florida, my wife and I, we have a six, five, and a three-year-old running around the governor’s mansion. So that’s not something that we see. We do have to occasionally get slime out of the carpet and get marker off the wallpaper. But that’s the extent of our adventures at the governor’s mansion.”

Meanwhile, Trump took to social media to share his thoughts on the matter. He suggested that the culprit behind the cocaine discovery could be President Joe Biden, Biden’s son Hunter Biden, or special counsel Jack Smith, who is overseeing two federal criminal investigations into Trump. Trump wrote, “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? 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.”

Trump didn’t stop there. He also questioned whether the “crazy, Trump-hating” special prosecutor Jack Smith had any involvement in the cocaine discovery. Trump even went as far as to say, “He looks like a crackhead to me!”
