Hillary Clinton caused outrage when she joked that she carries hot sauce in her bag, like singer Beyonce.
The 68-year-old politician told Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club that she always carries a bottle of hot sauce in her bag, like Beyonce sang about in her “Formation” song.
“I keep hot sauce in my bag, swag,” she jokingly told The Breakfast Club, which has a majority hip hop audience.
Beyonce and Clinton are referencing a southern cultural tradition among black women who carry hot sauce in their bags for backyard BBQ’s and such.
The station’s black listeners flooded the switchboard with complaints about Clinton’s blatant cultural appropriation.
Just last week Clinton angered Black Twitter when she participated in a racist skit mocking black people with NY Mayor Bill de Blasio, who is married to a black woman.
“Hillary Clinton is on the radio talking about how she carries hot sauce every where she goes anything to get the black vote,” tweeted @JasmyneK__.
