'Outrageous': MSNBC Accuses 'Visitors' for Cocaine Discovery in White House, Fanning Conservative Debate

MSNBC anchor and correspondent suggest cocaine found at White House left by visitor.

In a recent segment on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports," anchor Andrea Mitchell and NBC White House correspondent Mike Memoli discussed the discovery of cocaine at the White House. Mitchell began by announcing that a formal lab had confirmed that the white powdery substance found in the West Wing was indeed cocaine. This finding had led to a brief lockdown and evacuation of the White House over the weekend.

Mitchell then turned to Memoli, expressing her shock at the unprecedented nature of the discovery. Both Mitchell and Memoli, who have covered the White House for years, were astounded by the presence of cocaine in the West Wing. Memoli agreed with Mitchell's assessment, emphasizing the extraordinary nature of the situation.

Memoli proceeded to suggest that the cocaine was likely brought into the White House by an external party. He explained that the substance was found in a highly-trafficked common area of the West Wing, where visitors, including those on private tours, may have left their personal belongings before entering more sensitive areas. He hinted that the investigation would focus on reviewing security cameras and visitor logs to determine the source of the cocaine.

The question that arises is how long the cocaine had been in that location. Memoli speculated that due to the regular security reviews, it could have been discovered fairly quickly, narrowing down the list of potential individuals who could have brought it in. He also noted that the incident occurred on a weekend when the president, first lady, and their son were at Camp David, resulting in a reduced number of staff in the White House. However, it was a holiday weekend, so many staff members may have had friends and family visiting, potentially providing an opportunity for the substance to be introduced.

The discovery of cocaine at the White House has raised concerns about security protocols and the potential vulnerability of the premises. The investigation into this incident will likely shed light on how such a breach could have occurred. As the story develops, it will be interesting to see what further details emerge and whether any individuals will be held accountable for this breach of security.
