'Something's going on': Fox News' Jeanine Pirro floats conspiracy theory that Biden’s dog Commander is ‘involved in Hunter’s cocaine’
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNOA: On a recent episode of Fox News' 'The Five', co-host Jeanine Pirro stirred controversy with a bizarre theory about the removal of President Biden's dog, Commander, from the White House.
Pirro suggested that the canine was somehow involved in Hunter Biden's alleged cocaine use, making unfounded claims that raised the eyebrows of viewers.
Baseless claims gain momentum
Pirro asserted, "Joe Biden blames the victims."
"Now when a dog attacks 24 people, well two dogs attack 24 people, the dog is living in a dysfunctional enviorment. There's something wrong. He's either getting involved in Hunter's cocaine, the dime bag, something's going on."
She insinuated that the dog's behavior indictated the kind of unhappy environment he lived in.
Pirro added that it was not just the Secret Service but also the executive staff and White House workers who were attacked.
"It's not just the Secret Service… there's so much blood on the floor."
The conspiracy theory gained traction despite lacking any credible evidence to support such wild allegations. Pirro's comments came on the heels of revelations from documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, indicating that Commander had bitten at least 24 people during Biden's presidency.
This led to a reported breach of trust between the Bidens, Secret Service agents, and White House residence staff.
Staff injuries and alleged inaction
According to the documents, staff members responsible for Commander's care have also suffered injuries, with some requiring treatment at the White House.
A former White House official, speaking to Axios, claimed that the Bidens refused to address the issue and engage in problem-solving discussions to protect the agents and Executive Residence staff. However, a White House official denied this allegation.
Commander left the White House in October 2023, following in the footsteps of the family's previous German Shepherd, Major, who was also removed due to biting incidents.
Despite both dogs being rescue animals, Pirro criticized the administration's inability to train the dogs, raising concerns about their capability to run the country effectively.
Pirro calls for accountability
Pirro, who claimed to have owned several "serious guard dogs," argued that if one of her dogs had bitten someone, she would have faced consequences and had to euthanize the animal.
She concluded, "So the bottom line is that, you know, they don't—there's something going on that's not right. They can't even train the dog, and we're supposed to have them run the country."
Amid the controversy, Harold Ford Jr attempted to defend Commander, describing the dog as protective. He acknowledged the need for more training but urged understanding and emphasized the importance of having a protective dog in our lives.
Despite his plea, Pirro's conspiracy theory and critical remarks added fuel to the ongoing debate about the Bidens' handling of their dogs and raised questions about the validity of such sensational claims.
