Donald Trump had the sniffles during the first debate on Monday night. For former Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean, who is also a medical doctor, this suggested Trump might be abusing cocaine.
Notice Trump sniffing all the time. Coke user?

Dean is being criticized on social media for recklessly accusing others of using drugs.
Do not casually accuse someone of using cocaine. They did that to Obama. Or if you do, don't applaud Michelle's "they go low, we go high."

Still, the candidate best remembered for his manic shouting during the 2008 Democratic primary is not backing down.
JUST IN @GovHowardDean stands by cocaine tweet & says Trump needs to answer charge, no apology @MSNBChttps://t.co/V7HfQtfXTy

Maybe this guy, of all people, shouldn’t be throwing around accusations of drug use.
