In an interview this week with Power 105's "The Breakfast Club," a hip-hop radio show with a strong young, urban fan base, Hillary Clinton stated that she carries hot sauce in her purse.

Seeing as how Beyoncé's "got hot sauce in my bag, swag" lyric has quickly become urban black vernacular and hot sauce itself is seen, in many circles, as a popular condiment of choice for black people, some believed it was no more than a not-so-veiled attempt at pandering to young black voters.

And perhaps no voice echoed that sentiment louder than leading Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. In an interview with Fox News on Tuesday, Trump stated "it’s just so phony and so pandering and so terrible.”

But, the truth is, Clinton actually does have hot sauce in her bag — and it's been in there way before Beyoncé recorded "Formation." Back in a 2012 interview with Condé Nast Traveler, when she was the Secretary of State, Clinton mentioned that she doesn't just carry Tabasco sauce in her bag, but she also carries red pepper flakes to add spice to her meals. She also mentioned it in a 2008 interview with 60 Minutes and it's been documented that she kept a large collection of hot sauce around the White House back when she was first lady.

Personally, when I heard the clip of Clinton affirming her love of hot sauce, my visceral reaction wasn't very different from Trump's. It actually did feel unauthentic to me and many others in the black community who wondered, like the radio host Charlamagne asked, if it was just an attempt at pandering. Clinton jokingly responded, "Is it working?"

The answer to that question depends on who you ask. In 1992, Bill Clinton caught the attention of black voters when he appeared on the Arsenio Hall show with his saxophone. But for most of Power 105's morning audience of young black women and men, and even young blacks who aren't a fan of the show, we're not looking for a homegirl in our next president. Instead, we're far more interested in Clinton's social justice fluency and desire to dismantle systemic racism. The fact that popular condiments have become an actual point of contention between the two people who, most likely, will be battling to become the next leader of the free world in months, is silly. The truth is that it doesn't really matter what's in Clinton's bag. It doesn't matter how much she actually loves playing dominoes in Harlem. It doesn't matter if she even knows how to whip, dab, nae nae or bruk-it-down. One of the reasons Clinton is winning the Democratic nomination, and crushing Bernie Sanders with black voters, is due to the fact that they have a level of trust in her ability to actually push policy.

Clinton has been winning the majority of black votes for this entire election cycle and it's pretty safe to say that it has nothing to do with whether she has Frank's or Tabasco in her purse.
