Hunter Biden says he smoked parmesan cheese because it reminded him of crack cocaine
Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, admitted he would smoke parmesan cheese because it reminded him of crack cocaine.
During an interview with Tracy Smith of CBS Sunday Morning, Hunter Biden went into detail about his addiction and how he would pick through the carpeting in search of stray traces of crack cocaine.
“I spent more time on my hands and knees picking through rugs smoking anything that even remotely resembled crack cocaine,” Hunter Biden said.
“I probably smoked more parmesan cheese than anyone that you know, I’m sure, Tracy!” He said. “I mean, I went one time for 13 days without sleeping, and smoking crack and drinking vodka exclusively throughout that entire time.”
Hunter Biden has been promoting his upcoming memoir, “Beautiful Things,” in which he also talks about the similarities between crack cocaine and parmesan cheese.
“It didn’t matter: I smoked it. If it was crack, great. If it wasn’t, I’d take a hit, exhale, and exclaim, “S—, that’s not it – that’s the f—— cheese!”
Hunter Biden’s memoir mainly focuses on his struggle with addiction. The title, “Beautiful Things,” is a phrase he and his brother said to remind each other of the good in life.
“It was the last thing that he said to me: ‘Beautiful things,’ Biden said of his brother.
“Beautiful Things” is available for purchase on Tuesday.

In a turn of events, the House of Representatives made history on Friday with a vote to expel Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), marking the first such expulsion in over two decades. A moment fraught with gravity unfolded as Speaker Mike Johnson wielded his gavel to formalize Santos’ removal, setting a precedent in congressional annals.
Santos, indicted on 23 counts related to wire fraud, identity theft, and other charges, has not faced conviction but stands accused of misusing campaign funds for opulent purchases. The bipartisan vote, tallying 311 to 114, signaled robust support for expulsion, with a marginally higher number of Republicans opting to retain Santos.
Questions loomed as Speaker Johnson left the chamber, his silence leaving the fate of the ongoing government spending battle uncertain. According to reports from Fox News, Democratic Rep. Steny Hoyer emphasized the non-partisan nature of the decision, asserting that members concluded Santos had tarnished the House’s reputation and was unfit for representation.
Within the GOP, conflicting opinions emerged, with Rep. Darrell Issa arguing against expulsion, citing the presumption of innocence. The tight-lipped stance of the House Ethics Committee played a pivotal role in the deliberations.
Conversely, members of the New York Republican delegation, led by Rep. Marc Molinaro, asserted Santos’ commission of crimes, justifying expulsion based on a comprehensive investigation.
Santos himself predicted the outcome in an exclusive morning interview on “FOX & Friends.” This vote not only underlines the House’s rare use of expulsion powers but also sets a critical precedent in handling members facing severe legal challenges.
