En route to Iowa, Hillary Clinton’s motorcade pulled over yesterday at an Ohio Chipotle for lunch. She grabbed a chicken burrito bowl with guacamole, but didn’t even bother to introduce herself to any of the potential 2016 voters, instead preferring to go incognito in sunglasses.
But interestingly, Chipotle has been tied to one of her family’s outfits, the Clinton Global Initiative.
Last year, Chipotle’s co-CEO Monty Moran spoke at the annual event in New York City. He shared a stage with other business leaders (including possible Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina) and even Bill Clinton himself.
The title of Moran’s panel discussion was, “The Case for Economic Justice.” It was moderated by then Meet the Press host David Gregory.
“Understand how talented the group of people in the United States are who don’t have education and who don’t have much experience, and also the immigrant population. Understand how talented they are and that…they have fundamental characteristics that will allow them to be incredibly powerful future workers in our country if we only empower them,” Moran told the audience.
A minimum wage hike and income inequality were central topics of the conversation last year at the Clinton Global Initiative. Both are expected to be central themes in Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidenital run.
