WASHINGTON, D.C. – Americans weighed in on whether President Biden was living up to his demand for “honor and decency” in the White House following the discovery of cocaine in the West Wing and after activists went topless on the South Lawn.
“Nah, cocaine, cocaine in the White House, that never happens,” one man told Fox News.
Biden tweeted during the 2020 presidential election that “we need to restore honor and decency to the White House.” Meanwhile, over the weekend, cocaine was found in a part of the White House that visitors can’t access unless they’re receiving a tour from staff.

Jim said he thinks Biden is “making every attempt possible” to bring decency to the White House.
“As to the cocaine, it could’ve come out of any guests pocket going in,” he said. “I haven’t seen any video that shows it came from an employee or any family members.”
In June, Biden faced criticism after transgender activists went topless at a White House Pride Month event. The administration later banned one, Rose Montoya, and called the incident “inappropriate and disrespectful.”
