Ron DeSantis promises ‘cocaine-free’ White House

The Governor continues to pillory the President and his son over powder.

Cocaine in the White House continues to be a punchline for one Florida man who wants to live there.

“Do you believe me when I tell you my White House will be cocaine free?” Ron DeSantis asked a crowd in Tega Cay, South Carolina, presumably rhetorically.

The Governor has talked cocaine on a number of occasions since a baggie found in the Joe Biden White House became national news, skewering the President’s powder predicament.

He previously mused 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?”

During an episode of a Tomi Lahren podcast earlier this month, Ron DeSantis ripped the administration for being poor stewards of the public space amid the illicit drug allegations. 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.

DeSantis has said 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,” DeSantis told a Newsmax audience earlier this month.

“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 Biden administration with kid gloves.”

    Why is this man still getting any coverage? DeSantis is irrelevant he’s going to burn on the vine within the next two months.

      Because not everybody has met Rhonda yet. As long as Ron DeSantis stays under wraps, he sounds kind of good to the Maggas in the abstract. But then Rhonda shows up. So, more coverage is required until Rhonda’s fully exposed thimself to everyone and their children.

    Do I believe Rhonda when they say something? Nope. Rhonda says whatever they think people want to hear.

    I might be misinterpreting, but I believe the Rhonda Campaign’s goal is for Rhonda to be a dip stick.

    …living proof that one can simultaneously be both “cocaine free” and brain dead.

    Ron will take off the kid gloves, and there will be a zero coke policy (no trademark infringement intended), but will his administration operate on a high note?

    What a clown – he’s reached the level of desperation where he will just say any old crap to get attention. At least trump is a buffoon so you can laugh at him, rhonda not so much. I wish we didn’t have to take him back after he finally shuts down his joke of a campaign. He could sell alarm clocks that go off an hour late so that nobody gets woke.

    Sorry, but Ron you sound really stupid addressing cocaine in the WH. Why not address real issues that are hurting Americans.
    Also, perhaps you should spend some time at John’s Hopkins for mushroom therapy…. It may bring you back to reality.

    Sorry, but Ron you sound really stupid addressing cocaine in the WH. Why not address real issues that are hurting Americans. Such as high insurance cost. Also, perhaps you should spend some time at John’s Hopkins for mushroom therapy…. It may bring you back to reality.
