An old man, a Democrat, standing at a McDonald’s counter was all the evidence a clerk needed, apparently.

“You Joe?” the clerk asked … of Bill Clinton.

Clinton was making one of his famed stops at a McDonald’s when he approached the counter and a couple of workers in the background ignored him. Two clerks standing by the desk glanced at him, continued chatting, and then glanced again.

The clerk’s question was “You Joe?”

The clerks were much happier to find it was Clinton, not Joe, stumping for the leftist Kamala Harris campaign this year.

A Gateway Pundit commentary pointed out that Clinton suffered “embarrassment” when “NO ONE” in the shop recognized him.

“Former President Bill Clinton suffered an embarrassing blow to his huge ego when a photo-op at an old favorite eatery backfired. As 11 Alive News reported, Wild Bill was campaigning for Kamala Harris in Albany, Georgia on Sunday as part of his desperate attempts to persuade rural voters to support her. During his travels, Clinton stopped by a McDonald’s for a photo-op, believing the workers would erupt in cheers upon being ‘graced’ with his presence. But he gets a surprise when he ventures up to the counter.”

The report said: “The female workers briefly turn to each other as if trying to figure out what a 78-year-old man is doing in their establishment. Clinton then moves over and comes face-to-face with one of the women, who looks confused.”

It explained, “How humiliating it must have been for Clinton to be compared to the dementia patient residing in the White House.”

Identifying himself as Clinton, the workers cheered up and “embraced him.”

The report noted McDonald’s “has special significance” for Clinton, since he often stopped their earlier in his political career.

So important were those stops that Saturday Night Live created a skit poking jest at Clinton.

The report pointed out President Donald Trump’s visits to fast-food eateries often are different from Clintons:

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
