Mayor Marion Barry says he never smoked "Crack" Lying is definitely in the Democrat's DNA

Marion Barry says he ‘never smoked crack’

Former Washington, DC, Mayor Marion Barry claims he’s never smoked crack cocaine — despite a widely circulated surveillance video that showed him lighting up a pipe and inhaling.
Barry made the stunning claim on MSNBC during an interview hyping his new book, “Mayor for Life,” according to the Washington Times.
“Never smoked crack — as simple as that,” said Barry.
The MSNBC interviewer challenged Barry, now a DC council member, to explain the infamous 1990 FBI surveillance footage of him smoking a crack pipe at the Vista Hotel.
“The federal government never proved there was a crack pipe,” Barry told the station. “Jurors didn’t believe it.”

Barry served time in jail and lost his post as DC mayor as a result of the bust — in which where he famously denounced the woman who brought him to a hotel room wired by the feds.
The enraged Barry muttered over and over, “Bitch set me up . . . . I shouldn’t have come up here . . . goddamn bitch” — references to the woman who lured him to the hotel, former girlfriend Hazel Diane “Rasheeda” Moore.
Barry has always blamed his downfall on a racially motivated FBI entrapment. But he has acknowledged he’s made mistakes.
“That’s a little sliver of time in my whole career. That ’90s is over,” Barry said. “I want people to judge me by my entire life.”
