(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) In an interview snippet posted on Twitter by Tucker Carlson on Tuesday, Larry Sinclair made explosive allegations about a gay sexual encounter he claims to have had with then-Illionis State Senator Barack Obama. The full video, scheduled for release on Wednesday, echoed previous allegations made against Obama.
In the snippet, Sinclair described a shocking encounter with the former president in 1999. “Pulled up in a bar, outside and there’s this guy that’s introduced to me as Barack Obama,” the man said, before detailing the alleged sexual encounter which he allegedly paid for.
“I’ve given Obama $250 to pay for coke, I start putting a line on a CD trait to snort, and next thing I know, he’s got a little pipe and he’s smoking,” Sinclair told Carlson. “I started rubbing my hand along his thigh to see where it was going, and it went the direction I had intended it to go.”
At the time, Obama was serving as an Illinois state senator, a role he was first elected to in 1997. Obama left the state Senate to run for the U.S. Senate in 2004 and was elected as the first black U.S. president just four years later.
Carlson asked Sinclair whether he knew of Obama’s true identity. “Even though you had sex with him twice, you did cocaine with him, and watched him smoke crack twice, you had no idea who he was,” Carlson asked. However, the man maintained that he had no prior knowledge of Obama’s identity.
Carlson further questioned Sinclair about Obama’s alleged drug use and interaction with a male, to which the interviewee responded, “It definitely wasn’t Barack’s first time, and I would almost be willing to bet you it wasn’t his last.”
The snippet comes three weeks after the New York Post confirmed the authenticity of an infamous letter, reportedly from Obama to his then-girlfriend, where the former President admitted to having sexual relationships with men.
“I make love to men daily, but in the imagination,” Obama wrote to Alex McNear in November 1982.
As reported by the Post on August 12, the 40-year-old letter first resurfaced amid the release of a Forbes tell-all interview with Obama biographer David Garrow.
It isn’t immediately clear whether Sinclair has evidence to support his allegations against Obama. He first brought these allegations in 2008, but the mainstream media chose not to cover his claims, instead focusing on his legal troubles.
“This guy is running for president and credible information comes out that he’s smoking crack and having sex with dudes; that seems like a story,” Carlson asked Sinclair. In response, the accuser said, “Well, it would be a story if the media really cared about telling people the truth.”
