Several media outlets have reported that a white substance discovered in the White House on Sunday is, indeed, cocaine.
“We have a yellow bar stating cocaine hydrochloride,” a District of Columbia firefighter was overheard on a radio transmission on Sunday night, according to the New York Post. The hazmat team was instructed to “bag it up and take it out.”
President Joe Biden was not in the White House at the time. He was at Camp David.
This is the type of news that, had it been Donald Trump in the White House, it would have been at the top of every news outlet in the nation for days. But major outlets have diminished the incident.
According to a spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service, “On Sunday evening, the White House complex went into a precautionary closure as officers from the Secret Service Uniformed Division investigated an unknown item found inside a work area. The DC Fire Department was called to evaluate and quickly determined the item to be non-hazardous. The item was sent for further evaluation and an investigation into the cause and manner of how it entered the White House is pending.”
The cocaine was found in a work area of the West Wing, although no specific location was given. It may be the first instance of cocaine, an illegal drug, having been found in the White House — or the first instance of such a discovery being made public.
Hunter Biden, the president’s grown son who has had a history of illegal drug abuse, is at Camp David with his father for the second week in a row, as the two are embroiled in an investigation that involves major international corruption that allegedly took place when Biden was vice president and while Hunter Biden was a paid member of the board of a Ukrainian energy company. Commenters believe the two are strategizing over how they will navigate the congressional investigation underway.
The New York Post reports that Hunter Biden, 53, “who has acknowledged a prior addiction to crack cocaine, was on the White House grounds Friday before heading off to Camp David with his father for the holiday weekend.”
One of the main themes of the Biden campaign in 2020 is that Biden would “bring dignity back to the White House. In one month, he has not only brought in a pride festival that featured a topless man with fake breasts, a topless woman who had scars where her beasts used to be, and now a bag of cocaine, of unknown quality and value, found inside the West Wing.
