Cocaine was found on the ground floor of the White House, close to where visitors taking tours of the West Wing are directed to leave their cellphones. Anyone could have dropped it or deliberately left it for nefarious reasons. Someone could have wanted to make Hunter Biden appear to be doing drugs again. Who knows.

Former Vice President Mike Pence weighed in on cocaine-gate during an interview on Wednesday with Hugh Hewitt.

"If cocaine had been found in the Trump-Pence West Wing, what would the news cycle look like today?" Hewitt asked the former Vice President.

"Unbelievable. It would be wall to wall, and frankly, it should be," Pence said. "I mean, if the news accounts I read are right, this was in, this was not in the White House complex, right? I mean, you and I know the terrain real well. This was in the residence itself if I understand. It was in the library in the White House."

"We ought to know in real time who brought and left cocaine on a table in the residence in the White House, but I'm not holding my breath," Pence said.

"I mean, if the news accounts I read are right, this was not in the White House complex, right?" he continued. "This was in the residence itself, if I understand."

Pence added that he would like "to know in real-time who brought and left cocaine on a table in the residence in the White House."

"But I'm not holding my breath," he said.

Hewitt noted that the cocaine was not found in the White House residence.

"No, I've seen some other reporting that's in a workspace in the West Wing," Hewitt said. "Either way, it would have been 24-7 on every cable channel, and they would be getting leaks from everywhere except your staff, which never leaked."

It's being covered by every major news source, so I don't know what they're talking about. The Washington Post, USA Today, CBS News, the BBC, Fox News, and CNN, among others, have reported the news.

Does anyone know where Marge was when the cocaine was discovered?

You can hear the audio of the interview here if you can handle hearing Pence's voice.
