Lara Trump decries hypocrisy in WH coke coverage: ‘People would be in hysterics’ if it happened under Trump

July 8, 2023 | | Print Article

Lara Trump weighed in on the White House cocaine mystery on Friday, claiming there would be “wall-to-wall coverage” from the media if the cocaine was discovered during former President Donald Trump’s tenure.

“People would be in hysterics,” Trump’s daughter-in-law told Newsmax’s Eric Bolling on Friday. “The left would be melting down, of course, over this. But this is pretty part and parcel coverage to what we’ve seen throughout the entire Biden administration.”

As BizPac Review has reported, after claiming the dime bag of cocaine was found in several different “high-traffic” locations, the official story is now that Secret Service agents at the White House discovered the substance in a cubby near the Situation Room, not far from where Vice President Kamala Harris’s car is parked.

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters at Friday’s press briefing that the Situation Room is “under construction,” suggesting that the cocaine culprit could be a visiting construction worker.

“We are using an alternate Situation Room in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, so the only people going in and coming out of the Sit Room in this period have been workers who are getting it ready to go,” Sullivan said before assuring America that the coke did not present an “ongoing national security threat.”

“This is an administration that operates not in transparency, but in smoke and mirrors,” Trump told Bolling. “You kind of just get a big fog over everything.”

As a member of the Trump family, Lara Trump is quite familiar with the White House entrance in question.

“As a member of the family myself … I know how I got to enter the White House, but I know how everyone else entered the White House,” she said. “There is no doubt. They can very easily figure out where this came from, who brought it in.”

“They can review the cameras as to the people who went in this very specific area and figure it out,” she explained. “But for some reason … we have no real answers on this one.”

The “crazy” goings on at Biden’s White House are quite a contrast from when Trump was in office, the host of “The Right View” podcast pointed out.

“The one thing I know is that, during the Trump administration, we did not have cocaine or any other illegal substances being brought into the White House,” she said. “Nor did we have men posing as women exposing their breasts on the White House lawn.”

“It is just completely crazy,” Lara Trump said, “but, sadly, no one is surprised to see this sort of thing happen.”

Meanwhile, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) has demanded that his committee be briefed on the matter.

“The presence of illegal drugs in the White House is unacceptable and a shameful moment in the White House’s history,” Comer told Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle in a Friday letter. “According to reports, USSS agents discovered a suspicious white powder inside the White House, prompting an evacuation of White House staff and personnel. The substance has since been confirmed to be cocaine.”

“This incident has raised additional concerns with the Committee regarding the level of security maintained at the White House,” Comer continued. “In order to assist the Committee with its investigation, please provide a staff level briefing on this matter by July 14, 2023.”
