Hillary Clinton: Cupcakes and Corinthians

Hostess with the Mostess?  (Public Domain)
Even a presidential candidate has got to eat, and what’s a meal without some dessert?

While recently on the campaign trail in South Carolina, Hillary Clinton therefore ducked into a bakery for some cupcakes.

While there, she noticed that a fellow customer was studying the Bible.  Clinton walked over and and asked what section he was focused upon.

The man, Rev. Frederick Donnie Hunt, answered that he was reading Corinthians 13.  Clinton replied, “Oh I know it well.”

From there, the candidate and minister engaged one another in a brief conversation about the importance of Bible study.

Turns out that Rev. Hunt, who later claimed no foreknowledge of Clinton’s visit to the bakery, is a Democrat who voted twice for Bill Clinton.

Nevertheless, he voted for Obama over Hillary last time around, stating that he had preferred Obama’s “vision” to hers.  Apres cupcakes, Rev. Hunt is all for Hillary, explaining:  I was really impressed that she knew that particular scripture.
