This is not the first time D.C. has taken advantage of the political news cycle to peddle cheeky foods.
In early October, a vendor at the Library of Congress was forced to remove an item from its dessert offerings because of its name: the "Peach Mint" crumb cake. And in Nov. 2017, a D.C. bar called The Bird offered $5 “Moscow Mueller” cocktail specials every time former special counsel Robert Mueller indicted an associate of President Donald Trump. (The same bar had previously offered a $4 happy hour special every time Trump fired a White House official, too.)
