Cocaine was found on the ground floor of the White House, near where visitors to the West Wing are asked to leave their cell phones. Anyone could have dropped it or deliberately left it for nefarious reasons. Someone might have wanted to make it look like Hunter Biden was on drugs again. Who knows.
Former Vice President Mike Pence weighed in on cocaine-gate during an interview Wednesday with Hugh Hewitt.
“If cocaine had been found in the Trump-Pence West Wing, what would the news cycle look like today?” Hewitt asked the former vice president.
“Unbelievable. It would be wall to wall, and frankly, it should be,” Pence said. “I mean, if the reports that I read are accurate, it was in, it wasn’t in the White House complex, was it? I mean, you and I know very well the land. It was in the residence itself as I understand it. It was in the White House library.”
“We should know in real time who brought and left cocaine on a table in the White House residence, but I’m not holding my breath,” Pence said.
“I mean, if the information I read is correct, it wasn’t in the White House compound, was it?” He continued. “It was in the residence itself, if I understood correctly.”
Pence added that he would like “to know in real time who brought and left cocaine on a table in the White House residence.”
“But I’m not holding my breath,” he said.
Hewitt noted that the cocaine was not found in the White House residence.
“No, I’ve seen other reports that are in a West Wing workspace,” Hewitt said. “Anyway, it would have been 24/7 on every cable channel, and they would have leaked from everywhere except your staff, who never leaked.”
It’s covered by all the major news sources, so I don’t know what they’re talking about. The Washington Post, USA Today, CBS News, BBC, Fox News and CNN, among others, reported the news.
Does anyone know where Marge was when the cocaine was discovered?
