Florida Governor Ron DeSantis made clever remarks about the recent cocaine discovery at the White House during an interview on Wednesday.

The Secret Service confirmed to Fox News Digital that cocaine was found at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave on Sunday. A Secret Service agent found the substance in the West Wing, leading to an evacuation of the building.
Initially, officials were uncertain about the nature of the substance. A hazmat team arrived at the scene when the discovery was made. The Secret Service also closed off roads around the White House while the investigation was ongoing.
Authorities are currently investigating the individual responsible for bringing the substance into the White House. President Joe Biden was not present at the time.
During an interview on OutKick’s “Tomi Lahren is Fearless” with Tomi Lahren, Governor DeSantis made light-hearted comments about the drug discovery.
“I think many of us have believed that the Biden administration has been making a lot of mistakes, but I guess this one is a little more literal than I expected,” DeSantis jokingly stated.
“I can tell you that in Florida, my wife and I have three young children, aged 6, 5, and 3, running around the Governor’s Mansion, so we certainly don’t encounter such things,” the governor added.
“We do have to sometimes remove slime from the carpet and clean marker stains off the wallpaper, but that’s the extent of our experiences at the Governor’s Mansion,” he further commented.

On Wednesday, Senator Tom Cotton from Arkansas wrote a letter to the Secret Service. He requested that they publicly share the list of staff members who can enter the West Wing without undergoing security screenings. He also asked for more specific information regarding the discovery.
“In accordance with publicly available documents, the Secret Service has not yet verified the precise location within the West Wing where the cocaine was discovered,” stated the Republican senator in a letter. “I strongly urge you to promptly disclose that information, as it is important for the American public to be informed if illegal drugs were found in an area where sensitive and confidential information is exchanged.”
