During his appearance at Turning Point USA’s Action Conference in Florida, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson addressed various scandals. At one point he received a comment from an audience member stating “coke in the White House!” Carlson responded to the comment with spot on sarcasm and humor, leading the audience to erupt in laughter.
Carlson quipped, “I don’t know what… you know what… the thing about that story, it’s just a mystery to me. No one was more shocked than I was.”
“Are you serious? In the Biden White House, somebody left an eight-ball of cocaine in a public… I was like, I said to my wife, ‘That’s just not in character. You know? I just don’t believe it,'” Carlson said.
Amidst laughter from the crowd, Carlson continued his comedic routine by suggesting it was a setup, drawing a parallel to Marion Barry, the former mayor of Washington, D.C., who was famously caught in a cocaine scandal.
Carlson speculated, “It’s clearly a set-up. I went right back to Marion Barry, I was like, ‘Somebody set you up.’ I’m serious. It was – you know what I mean, it was – Can I just —? I’ll stop. That was my favorite story of all time, because it just explains all the behavior. It really does.”
He further imitated someone under the influence of cocaine, saying, “It’s like… crazed and grandiose. I’ve got a plan. YOU’RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE IT! It’s unbelievable, it’s going to totally work.”
“What we’re going to do – We’re gonna totally rearrange everything, okay? We’ve been doing things a certain way for a long time, okay? And it’s worked, but I’ve got a better plan! And that’s their entire approach,” he goaded.
In a recent development, Republican lawmaker Representative Pat Fallon (R-Texas), a member of the House Oversight Committee, shared his belief that the U.S. Secret Service has identified a suspect involved in the White House cocaine incident.
In an interview with Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum, Fallon discussed his conversation with law enforcement officials in Texas, stating that he asked them about the timeframe for running fingerprints found on the bag containing the drug. According to Fallon, he was informed that fingerprint analysis generally takes around an hour.
Fallon expressed his concerns about the Secret Service’s handling of the investigation.
“If there was no fingerprints, they could have told us immediately,” he said. “So, I suspect there are fingerprints, and you can run it through a database, and this was found where high-level aides and staffers are, so most of them were fingerprinted at one time or another, so they may very well already know who it belongs to and aren’t sharing with us and that’s my greatest concern and worry.”
While the discovery of a white powdery substance in the White House has prompted speculation about its ownership, officials have not confirmed if Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son, is under suspicion. Hunter Biden has previously faced addiction issues related to cocaine and crack.
