    Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump - by far the two leading Republican Party candidates for the 2024 presidential nomination - responded on Wednesday to the discovery of cocaine in the White House at the start of the week.

    Officials discovered a white powdery substance in the West Wing on Sunday and initial testing said that it was cocaine. The Secret Service confirmed on Wednesday that the substance, after undergoing additional testing, was, in fact, cocaine.

    DeSantis responded to the news when asked about it during an interview with Tomi Lahren on "Outkick."

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

    Trump responded to the news by posting on social media, where he suggested that the culprit was either President Joe Biden; Biden's son, Hunter Biden; or special counsel Jack Smith, who is overseeing two federal criminal investigations into Trump, including one where dozens of felony charges have already been filed.

    "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," Trump wrote. "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 asked. "He looks like a crackhead to me!"

Regarding the entrenched Two Tier Justice System's handling of the Cocaine Discovery found near to the Situation Room, in the West Wing of the White House: What is your position on, what Eastern NC NOW has coined, The Cocaine Presidency?
  This is a silly over-concern by over-reactive Republicans.
  Never in the history of the Secret Service's protection of the White House, and its inhabitants, has a dangerous narcotic been found in such a secure location, and then so inadequately investigated.
  Drugs are cool, so I might be the wrong person to ask.
