Sheriff Clarke Attacks Hillary's Hot Sauce Habit: 'I'm Surprised She Didn't Say Watermelon'

Fox News' most beloved law enforcement officer, Sheriff David Clarke, asserted on Wednesday that Hillary Clinton's comment to a black radio show about her love of hot sauce was as racist as telling them that her favorite fruit was "watermelon."

During a conversation with Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club this week, Clinton was asked what one thing she always carried with her.

Her answer of hot sauced surprised the hosts because Beyonce's latest song "Formation" mentions "hot sauce in my bag, swag."

And although many news outlets have noted that Clinton has had a long-documented obsession with hot sauce, conservative media seized on the comments as evidence that she was pandering.

On Thursday, the hosts of Fox & Friends asked Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, who is black, to weigh in.

"I'm surprised she didn't say watermelon," Clarke opined, referring to a racist stereotype. "Just go all the way."

"You know, this stuff is dehumanizing," he argued. "It's embarrassing, it's disgusting."

According to Clarke, black voters would be supporting Republicans if they were aware that Democrats were once the more racist of the two political parties.
