Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign continues to delve into strange territory. Two weeks after her husband, Bill Clinton, blasted Black Lives Matter, and one week after she was involved in a joke about CP Time with Mayor de Blasio, another awkward moment has occurred.
During an interview with Power 105’s Breakfast Club, Hillary revealed that she keeps hot sauce in her bag. For years, it has been a common joke within the Black community that Black women often keep hot sauce around just in case they come in contact with bland food.
Beyoncé introduced the “inside joke” to the mainstream after saying it in her pro-Black song and video, “Formation.” Although a 2012 article in the Wall Street Journal mentioned Hillary’s love for hot sauce, some found it hard to believe that she would carry hot sauce on a regular basis. Most saw it as a forced attempt to pander to the Black vote.
Moments after the interview aired on the Breakfast Club. Listeners took took to social media to express their disbelief in Hillary’s obsession with hot sauce.
This Hillary Clinton hot sauce thing just shows how weird and uninformed and in a hurry to be fake mad people are.

This isn’t a new claim for the presidential hopeful. During an interview in 2012 with Conde Nast Traveler, she shared with readers she always travels with “red pepper flakes and a mini bottle of Tabasco Sauce for adding spice to her meals.”
