Hunter Biden marked seven years of sobriety on June 1 with a video message on X, and while many congratulated him, the post also drew trolls, including one who tried to tie him to the bag of cocaine found at the White House in 2023. His response was instant and deadpan: "It most definitely was not. I would never have forgotten my drugs."
The reply went massively viral, praised even by critics for its sharp, self-aware humor. The troll's jab referenced a July 2023 incident in which Secret Service agents found a small bag of cocaine in a West Wing area heavily trafficked by staff and tour groups. An FBI analysis found no fingerprints or DNA, and no suspect was ever identified, though right-wing figures speculated about Hunter at the time despite no evidence.
The sobriety post itself was sincere. "I'm more proud of that than anything I've ever done in my life," Biden said, adding a message to anyone "still out there sick and suffering" that "there's a way out, and that way out is together."
