NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: On July 2, 2023, cocaine was found in the White House, which then launched an intense investigation by the US Secret Services. However, there was no guilty party after the lack of physical evidence, which concluded the ongoing investigation. This pressing matter quickly became part of the ‘Hot Topic’ segment on ‘The View.’

Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin all chimed in with their thoughts and guesses on whose cocaine it might have been. After being absent from ‘The View’ for three consecutive days, Navarro had a lot to say about the matter, especially President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden.

‘Nothing to do with Hunter Biden’

‘The View’ played clips of a handful of press conferences regarding the cocaine controversy, one where White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre shut down a reporter questioning the Biden family. Jean-Pierre claimed it was "incredibly irresponsible" for the reporter to question the Bidens since they weren’t present in the White House when the cocaine was found. After the series of clips, Behar said, “You know it’s interesting that she said to the reporter that it was irresponsible to ask the question because the Bidens were not there. First of all, the reporter didn’t know that until she asked the question, so why turn on the reporter?”



 

Before anyone else could respond, Navarro quickly chimed in, “No actually I think everyone knew that because it was very well documented that the July fourth weekend, they were at Camp David.” Despite other co-hosts trying to say something, Navarro continued, “When you’re a reporter at the White House, you know the president’s schedule on a daily basis.”

After Griffin, Hostin, and Haines got a chance to speak and discuss who might have possibly been behind the cocaine that was found, including potentially irresponsible tourists and of course, Hunter Biden, an annoyed Navarro contributed to the conversation. Navarro said, “No matter what the answer would have been, they were always going to blame Hunter Biden. As I said before, and I’m going to continue saying it, we are going to see it for the next year. They are weaponizing Hunter Biden against his dad as an effective tool to get his dad to lose his cool and to get his dad to feel the heartache.”

Navarro repeated her statement once again, “They are going to weaponize Hunter Biden. It has nothing to do with Hunter Biden but you can hear that said a hundred times, and believe who want to believe it, are still going to believe that. Well okay, and there are people who might believe that it was planted for somebody so that then they can advance the Hunter Biden narrative. Who knows?” Navarro’s co-hosts were quick to move the conversation away from Hunter and POTUS and to the security cameras instead after Navarro’s defense.
