Former Secretary of State (and now 2016 Democratic presidential candidate) Hillary Clinton seems to have struggled in launching her candidacy. Amidst the Benghazi hearings, those lost emails, and the undocumented international donations to her foundation, she is now is catching flak from both parties for going incognito at a Ohio Chipotle restaurant to avoid public scrutiny.
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus believes the move was well calculated and one that is going to distance her from voters.
“This is the big thing that a lot of the mainstream media is missing,” Priebus said during a Fox News segment with Hannity. “This is not savvy. This is not something that’s interesting. This is the only strategy they could employ. The strategy is: make sure the field knows that she’s running, and then not answer any questions from the media, and not actually talk to anybody.”
On Monday, Clinton got lunch at a Chipotle in Maumee, Ohio; and the visit is hampering her efforts to make herself appear more relatable to everyday people.
“The manager of the Chipotle in Ohio had to look at the security video to prove it was Hillary Clinton who stopped in at Chipotle today,” John King said on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360. “She went to Chipotle, she got lunch apparently, and she didn’t talk to anybody.”
“Ohio’s kind of important in presidential politics,” he continued. “If Bill Clinton were on that ride, he would still be in that Chipotle and somehow would have known a third of the people.”
Hillary’s uncomfortability in public runs in stark contrast to President Obama’s trip to Chipotle last year. He was seen hanging over and selecting his food from the wrong side of the sneeze guard.
