Tucker Carlson: It Was Clear Before 2008 That Barack Obama Enjoyed Crack of Both the Powdered and Male Keister Varieties, but the Media Suppressed This Information

It was obvious, Tucker says.

Tucker Carlson has claimed Barack Obama was smoking crack and having sex with men - but the media failed to report it ahead of the 2008 presidential election.

The former Fox News host repeated the accusation of Larry Sinclair who alleged that Obama bought and smoked cocaine before they had sex in 1999.

The allegation, which emerged while then-Senator Obama was gearing up for the presidential election, was roundly condemned as an attempted political hatchet-job.

But Carlson claimed Wednesday that it was 'really clear' that Obama had been having a gay affair. He claimed the media didn't run the story because the Obama campaign team threatened to refuse access to the Democratic candidate.

Carlson, 54, speaking on the popular Adam Carolla Show, said: 'In 2008, it became really clear that Barack Obama had been having sex with men and smoking crack.'

DailyMail.com has contacted Obama's representatives for comment.

'A guy came forward, Larry Sinclair, and said "I'll sign an affidavit" and he did, "I'll do a lie detector" and he did,' he added.

'I smoked crack with Barack Obama and had sex with him", that was obviously true.'

Carlson was referencing the claims made by convicted felon Sinclair at the National Press Club in 2008 while Obama was running for president.

He said nobody reported on it due to threats from the Obama campaign.

'Nobody reported it not because they were squeamish about sex or drugs but because the Obama campaign said anyone who reports on this gets no access to the Obama campaign,' he said. 'So, they didn't report on it.'

'The amount of lying in the media about it was unbelievable.

'This happens all the time up and down government.'

I actually disagree with a lot of what Tucker says, but I'm glad to promote him saying the unsayable.

Is it "obvious" that Obama was gay and smoked crack based on this one guy's say-so? No, I don't think so.

Mind you, Obama is gay -- he confessed this much in his letters to a "girlfriend," stating that he frequently fantasized about having sex with men -- but I don't think any of that is clear or "obvious" from Larry Sinclair's claims. If you can have plausible doubts about a claim, then the claim is not "obviously" true.

Are Sinclair's claims possibly true? Yes, quite possibly. Certainly they've become more likely to be true now that we have it from Obama's own erotic memoirs that he fantasizes about having sex with men. (And in the 70s, sex was easy and plentiful -- there was no reason to stop at mere fantasization.)

But is it "obvious" they were true? Or was it obvious in 2008, more importantly?

Nah.

But whether true or not -- I'm so, so tired of The Regime dictating to us what we can say and what we can hear and read. Even when Tucker is wrong, which I find he frequently is, he is still expanding the range of opinions we are permitted to have and to simply hear from others.
