Huge news! Hillary Clinton is feeling the bern!
Wait a minute, damn you, autocorrect! That should read feeling the BURN.
The latest nontroversy pushed by Sanders supporters has been hilariously labeled “hotsaucegate.”
In an interview with “The Breakfast Club” on New York’s 105.1 (a hip hop station) Clinton listed “hot sauce” as something she always carries with her. The accusations of pandering came quickly, partly based on the fact that Beyonce's recent hit song includes the line “I got hot sauce in my bag, swag.”
This is obviously a pander, right? Who can trust this crafty woman who says whatever it takes to get elected?
And this is a pander that is PARTICULARLY egregious because of how devious she was in setting it up.
Not only have there been multiple articles since launching her 2016 campaign about her affinity for hot peppers and carrying and using hot sauce to season her food (www.hillaryclinton.com/…, www.nbcnewyork.com/…, www.npr.org/…,), she even had her cronies in the corporate media plant a story back in August of 2012 in Conde Nast Traveler claiming that she carries hot sauce with her.
We asked Secretary Clinton’s office what she always packs:
A small mesh bag filled with the basics: Sharpies, Advil, sunscreen. Converters to charge her BlackBerry and iPad anywhere in the world. Red pepper flakes and a mini bottle of Tabasco Sauce for adding spice to her meals.
Disgustingly, we can see she was even planning this obvious pander when her husband was still President, showing that she is nothing but an ambitious and evil woman who only thinks about politics.

I think this article on Salon sums up just how any reasonable, rational person would feel in the face of the overwhelming evidence of your dishonesty and ambition:
So there are a couple of possibilities. One is that Hillary Clinton really does like hot sauce and carries it around with her so she can season her food. The other is that she’s been building an elaborate long con over hot sauce – because she’s been talking about it at least since 2008.
In the end, this whole pile of nonsense helps to reinforce just how desperate the Bernie faction is to talk about anything other than the issues and are hoping to distract voters from what is actually important.
Plus it gives us a great excuse to listen to Beyonce’s fantastic song again. Cheers to fellow hot-pepper head, Hillary Clinton.
