Senator John Kennedy (R-La.) weighed in on the White House cocaine saga in his own unique way, joking that if his record was as bad as President Joe Biden’s that he’d probably also pass out the illicit narcotic substance to his staff as it remains unclear who the blow belonged to nearly a week after its discovery prompted a brief evacuation of the building.
The Louisiana Republican who is well known for his witty quips appeared on Fox News on Friday’s edition of “Hannity” where he discussed the latest developments in the Biden family’s latest scandal with guest host and former GOP congressman Jason Chaffetz who was filling in for the show’s namesake.
In the last several days, the story about where the bag of cocaine was found has shifted several times with it seeming as if the Biden regime and its media minions are working overtime to remove suspicion from the most obvious culprit, presidential son Hunter Biden as congressional Republicans are seeking answers on how a suspicious white power got into what is one of the most surveilled highly-secured buildings in the entire country.

“Are you going to be able – as a senator – to be able to understand what’s going on with this investigation?” Chaffetz asked the senator. “My guess – just a guess – the United States Secret Service already knows how this happened. They just haven’t told us yet.”
“Well, I haven’t seen the news today,” Kennedy answered. “Did they find more blow in the White House or are we still talking about the first stuff? Look, I’ve been in the Situation Room. There are cameras everywhere. I’m pretty sure the Secret Service knows. I don’t know who did it. I don’t know whose blow it was.”
“I probably shouldn’t say this, but if my record was as bad as this White House’s record, I’d probably give my staff blow too,” he quipped. “I’m only kidding. They’ll get to the bottom of it. Frankly, I’m not saying it’s not significant but it’s not earthshaking, you know?”
Chaffetz responded, “They could make it a much bigger story, but they could also dismiss it. What I’m concerned about is they continue to morph their story,” noting how many times the reporting has shifted, even to the point where on Friday, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan suggested that it may have belonged to a visiting construction worker.
Sen. Kennedy then added, “It’s never the crime, it’s the cover-up. The White House could have handled this real simply by saying ‘hey, the Secret Service found some cocaine in the Situation Room. We don’t know how it got in here, but by God we’re gonna find out and as soon as we find out whose blow it is we’re either going to fire them and, or prosecute and we’ll let you know.’ And then tell the American people the truth, but this White House didn’t do that. I don’t know whether it’s contempt for the average American but they think they can stonewall or talk their way out of anything.”
“Instead of looking the American people in the eye in front of God and country and say ‘yeah, you know, some chowderhead brought some blow into the White House,’ and we’re gonna find out who it is and take appropriate measures and we’ll keep you posted,” he said.
On Friday, GOP House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) took a step toward solving the mystery of the White House cocaine, sending a letter to Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle requesting that his committee be briefed on the discovery of the marching power.
The presence of illegal drugs in the White House is unacceptable and a shameful moment in the White House’s history.
Congress funds White House security procedures & @GOPoversight has oversight jurisdiction over Secret Service operations.

“The presence of illegal drugs in the White House is unacceptable and a shameful moment in the White House’s history,” Comer wrote. “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.”
“Congress funds White House security procedures, and the Secret Service has a responsibility to maintain effective safety protocols,” he added. “This incident and the eventual evacuation of staff now clearly raises concerns about the level of security maintained at the White House.”
“This incident has raised additional concerns with the Committee regarding the level of security maintained at the White House,” reads the letter requesting the briefing.
