Gov. Ron DeSantis has worked cocaine found in the White House into his standard stump speech.
The Florida Governor is musing about who the illicit powder might have belonged to, suggesting that “this cocaine in the White House” belongs to the President’s son, Hunter Biden.
“But was it Hunter’s? Does everyone think it’s Hunter’s cocaine? Whose cocaine was it?”
DeSantis also raised the question of what would have happened if cocaine had been found under a Republican President.
“If that were a Republican White House, man, you’d have a special counsel appointed. They’d want to know who the fingerprints — they’d know everything. Now there’s, ‘Oh we were never going to be able to figure out, you know, you know, what’s going on,’” he suggested.
This is the first time DeSantis mentioned Hunter Biden in connection with the substance found last week.
During an episode of a Tomi Lahren podcast last week, Ron DeSantis ripped the administration for being poor stewards of the public space amid the illicit drug allegations. But he merely nodded Wednesday when Lahren suggested the cocaine may have belonged to Hunter Biden, though the host left an opportunity for him to deliver that kind of line then.
The special counsel trope is also new, developing on previous concerns that federal law enforcement was treating the current President with “kid gloves.”
“Isn’t it interesting how you have this cocaine there? I don’t see the FBI and the Department of Justice mobilizing and doing like a real serious litigation of this. I kind of feel like if they’re a Republican White House that you’d have swarms of (Drug Enforcement Administration) and FBI agents trying to get to the bottom of who brought that into the White House. I think with this, they’re just treating the Joe Biden administration with kid gloves,” DeSantis told the Newsmax audience Thursday.
