Sad!


In a February 26 email chain, members of Clinton’s staff tinkered with remarks the Democratic candidate was set to deliver in Birmingham ahead of the Alabama Democratic primary. Luckily for Clinton and unluckily for political satirists everywhere, Clinton aide Amanda Renteria had one objection.

“Is everyone comfortable [with] her saying ‘Yo Mama’?” asked Renteria.

“No,” senior advisor Maya Harris responded. “[Please] let’s revise.”

“Yikes,” Clinton spokeswoman Karen Finney emailed Renteria separately.

So, a couple of months later, they had her saying she carries hot sauce in her purse. That's barely better.
When asked [by a black host on New York City radio show “The Breakfast Club,”] what item she always carried with her, she replied, “Hot sauce.”

“You getting in Formation right now?” asked one of the amazed hosts, citing the lyrics of the Beyoncé song about keeping hot sauce in her bag. He suggested African-Americans would likely see her comment as “pandering to black people.”

“O.K… Is it workin’?” she replied, laughing.

I'm cryin' here.  Satire is outdone.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
