Hillary Clinton, hours into her officially announced campaign for president, had a somewhat humbling moment at a Chipotle restaurant in Ohio when nobody inside seemed to recognize her or her star sidekick, Huma Abedin.
“It’s true, nobody recognized her,” said manager Charles Wright, to the Daily Mail Online. “When the reporters started to call, I went back to the security footage and there she was.”
Clinton did have on sunglasses, something Wright said “probably made her harder to spot.”
But it’s a somewhat strange situation for one of America’s most recognizable faces to find herself in, just hours after going before national television crews to announce a run for the White House.
Nobody knew Abedin, either, the Daily Mail reported. Abedin’s face was plastered over national media when her famous husband, the former New York congressman, Anthony Weiner, was facing widespread scrutiny for a sexting scandal that was credited with bringing down his political career.
The New York Daily News reported Clinton and Abedin entered the restaurant absent any entourage of security, and tried to remain under the radar.
“[They] were trying to be incognito and all that good stuff,” Wright said, the New York Daily News reported.
At the same time, the newspaper blasted a headline on its cover that seemed to note the oddity of her unrecognized status, which lasted the 25 minutes of her visit: “WHO THE HIL ARE YOU?”
