A full-scale inquiry has now been launched by the the U.S. Secret Service after cocaine was found in the White House last week.

A pair of Republican presidential contenders were among those offering their comments on the drug discovery.

“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,” Former President Donald Trump said on his social media site, truthsocial.com.

“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. Has Deranged Jack Smith, the crazy, Trump hating Special Prosecutor, been seen in the area of the COCAINE? He looks like a crackhead to me!”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis poked fun at President Joe Biden’s administration while discussing the discovery of the cocaine with Outkick’s Tomi Lahren.

“I’ve long believed, I think a lot of us have believed that the Biden administration’s been blowing it on a lot of fronts. But I guess it’s a little bit more literal than even I had thought,” DeSantis said. “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.”

At the time of the discovery, President Biden and his family were at the presidential retreat, Camp David.
