Tucker Carlson claims Barack Obama enjoyed smoking CRACK and having gay sex – but that nobody reported it ahead of 2008 election

Tucker Carlson has alleged that Barack Obama smoked crack and had sex with men leading up to the 2008 presidential election.

The former Fox News host insisted it was “very clear” that Obama had gay relationships, but that the media chose not to report it.

He accused the former president’s team of threatening to deny access to the campaign to anyone who reported on it at the time.

Carlson, 54, pointed to Larry Sinclair’s allegation that Obama bought and smoked cocaine before they had sex in 1999.

He made the claims during an interview on the popular podcast The Adam Carolla Show, which aired Wednesday.

“In 2008 it became very clear that Barack Obama had had sex with men and smoked crack,” Carlson told comedian Adam Carolla.

“A guy came up, Larry Sinclair, and said, ‘I’ll sign an affidavit,’ and he did, ‘I’ll do a lie detector,’ and he did.

“I smoked crack with Barack Obama and had sex with him,” that was clearly true.

Carlson was referring to the allegations made by convicted felon Sinclair to the National Press Club in 2008 while Obama was running for president.

He said no one was reporting on it because of the threats from the Obama campaign.

“No one reported it, not because they were prudish about sex or drugs, but because the Obama campaign said anyone reporting on this would be denied access to the Obama campaign,” he said. “So they didn’t report on it.”

“The amount of lies in the media about it was unbelievable.

“This happens all the time, both in the government and in the government.”

Sinclair, who served time in prison for forgery, fraud and theft, alleged that Obama, who was a senator at the time, bought and smoked cocaine before having sex with him.

He also claimed that the former president had another male lover and was connected to his death. These were detailed in Sinclair’s self-published 2009 book “Barack Obama & Larry Sinclair: Cocaine, Sex, Lies & Murder?”.

At the time, Sinclair was dismissed by the media as a man with an extensive criminal record “with a specialty in crimes involving deceit.”

But Carlson insisted the allegations were true. He said, “That Larry Sinclair thing, that sure happened.

“I talked to Larry Sinclair about it. It certainly happened.

“Larry Sinclair was in and out of prison forty years ago, by definition he has a criminal record and he is poor, he has a disorderly life, he is missing a tooth.

“I think he has a reputation for cheating, but this story, if you listen to it in detail, is clearly true.”

He added, “It won’t change the world that Barack Obama likes dudes, I think this was common knowledge.”

Carlson also pointed to a redacted 1982 letter Obama sent to his ex-girlfriend detailing his gay sex fantasy.

Barack Obama said it himself in a letter to his girlfriend. That’s Barack Obama’s business. I’m not attacking him because he likes guys,” said the former Fox News host.

Obama, then 21, wrote in November 1982 to Alex McNear, whom he had dated during his time at Occidental College in Los Angeles.

He delved into the subject of homosexuality and confessed that he “loves to make love to men on a daily basis, but in the imagination,” according to the previously redacted portion of the letter, which was obtained by the New York Post.

Obama described homosexuality as a way to detach from the present and possibly avoid the recurring theatrics of earthly existence.

“With regard to homosexuality, I must say that I believe this is an attempt to remove oneself from the present, a refusal perhaps to continue the endless farce of earthly life.”

He admitted that he had a daily intellectual connection with men, but claims that it belonged exclusively to the world of imagination.

“You see, I make love to men daily, but in my imagination,” he said in the letter reported by the Post.

The letter, more than 40 years old, was addressed to an ex-girlfriend and has resurfaced thanks to the extensive interview with biographer David Garrow.

Obama explored the concept of an androgynous mindset, expressing his desire for a perspective that encompasses people as a whole, rather than separating them into gender categories.

“My mind is highly androgynous and I hope to become even more so until I can think in terms of people, and not in terms of women rather than men,” he said.

Despite these admissions, Obama admitted in the letter that he has accepted his identity as a man and chooses to live by it.

“But in returning to the body I see that I have become a man, and physically in life I choose to accept that contingency,” he added.

Obama has been married to his wife Michelle, 59, since 1992 and has daughters Malia, 25, and Sasha, 22.

He has also spoken out against same-sex marriage in the past.

In 2004, Obama stated, “I don’t think marriage is a civil right,” and said he believed homosexuality is “not a choice.”

He changed his mind while in the White House and helped celebrate the federal legalization of same-sex marriage in 2015. DailyMail.com has reached out to Obama representatives for comment.

Carlson also addressed the Biden administration on the Adam Carolla Show, saying they would do anything to win the election, including going to war with Russia.

“They’re going to war with Russia, that’s what they’re going to do,” he claimed.

“In the coming year, a hot war will break out between the United States and Russia.

“It’s a political issue, they have to declare warfare to take over war power, to win.”

He added: “I think we can clear the Tonkin Gulf into it, where suddenly missiles land in Poland and the Russians did, our NATO ally has been attacked. We’re going to war.

“If you’re concerned about that, you should put as much pressure as you can on the Republican House Senate to force a peace that is possible.”
