A convicted con artist has told Tucker Carlson that he smoked crack with Barack Obama and then had sex with him, claiming that Obama said he was having problems in his marriage.
Larry Sinclair’s allegations, first made in 2008, have never been substantiated. He made the allegations at a press conference during the presidential election, and after addressing the press, he was arrested on an outstanding robbery warrant.
But on Wednesday night, Carlson used his X show to promote the claims — and Sinclair’s book.
“Larry Sinclair says he had a night of crack cocaine sex with Barack Obama, then Obama came back for more the next day,” Carlson wrote on X.
Judge it for yourself. Here’s our interview.’
In the clip, Carlson describes Sinclair’s claims about Obama as “credible information that he smokes crack and has sex with dudes.”

Sinclair, who now lives in Mexico, said he lived in Colorado at the time and went to Chicago.
“I was in town for a few nights and I was definitely in the mood for a party,” he said.
“There was no doubt about what I was looking for.”
He said a driver picked him up and introduced him to Obama.
“The driver must have known him because he said he was a friend.
“It wasn’t until later, during a conversation with a Bloomberg News reporter, that I found out that the limousine company was doing business with Tony Rescoe.”
Sinclair said he and Obama went to an “upscale, low-key” bar “where the glasses had three Xs,” where Obama told him he was having problems with his marriage.
Sinclair said he had no idea Obama was a politician.
The fraudster said he told Obama he was tired and “wanted something to wake up to.” Obama immediately knew he meant cocaine and told him he could get it.
“I had no idea he was a representative in the Illinois House. I only knew that he was supposedly married, and that there were some problems in the marriage at the time.’
He said they returned to the limo and were driven to a place where they could buy cocaine. Sinclair said he gave Obama $250 to buy cocaine: Obama went out, returned to the limo, then took the drugs.
Sinclair claims that Obama smoked the drug as he sniffed it.
“Then you attacked him,” Carlson said. “Did he seem shocked by that?”
Sinclair replied, “Not at all.”
A spokesman for Obama’s personal office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from DailyMail.com Tuesday night.
Sinclair has a long criminal history, including convictions for forgery, fraud and robbery, and has served prison sentences in Arizona, Florida and Colorado.
In 2008, when Sinclair first released his allegations, Politics reported on the saga, noting that the “story is generally ignored by the mainstream media because he has been unable to substantiate his allegations.”
In June 2008, Sinclair rented a room at the National Press Club in Washington DC, and spoke for an hour, going into great detail about two sexual encounters he claimed to have had with Obama in 1999, one in the back of a limousine and another. in a hotel room in Gurnee, Illinois.
Sinclair claimed that a limousine driver introduced him to Obama after Sinclair asked for help connecting with someone to “party,” and that Obama, then an Illinois state senator, readily introduced himself using his real name and job title.
The press conference ended Sinclair’s arrest based on an open Delaware warrant for his arrest, after liberal bloggers who supported Obama apparently tipped off the D.C. police about his planned action.
For more than a decade, Sinclair’s claims were taken seriously only by the furthest circle of conspiracy theorists, and had largely disappeared from public discourse.
Last week, Carlson revived the long-defunct controversy in a podcast interview.

Carlson, 54, said on the popular Adam Carolla Show last week: “In 2008, it became very clear that Barack Obama had had sex with men and smoked crack.”
“A guy came up, Larry Sinclair, said, ‘I’ll sign an affidavit,’ and he did. “I’ll do a lie detector,” and he did,” he added, calling Sinclair’s claims “plainly true.”
In fact, Sinclair infamously failed the lie detector test in 2008 and then publicly accused Obama adviser David Axelrod of bribing the examiners to manipulate the results. Courthouse News Service.
Sinclair’s history of affidavits is also questionable. In 2004 he signed a declaration he claimed to be “terminally ill” while trying to get an arrest warrant revoked, though he appears to still be alive nearly 20 years later.
Carlson was fired from Fox News in April and has since been producing his own show on X, the website formerly known as Twitter.
The pundit claims he was fired as a condition of Fox News’ $787 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems to end a lawsuit over the spread of lies about the 2020 presidential election.
Other media reports claim that Carlson was fired due to inflammatory communications that came to light during the trial.
According to the New York Times, private messages from Carlson containing “deeply offensive and abusive comments” were a “catalyst” in Fox’s decision to let him go.
One redacted message contained a libel against a senior Fox executive, the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post both reported. Each of the reports was based on unnamed sources.
