I’m here at @ChipotleTweets #900 at 1385 Conant Street, Suite A, @CityofMaumee @ohgov and I cannot locate any Historical Marker.

What (didn’t) happen here Monday April 13, 2015, changed the course of history.

1/

We have all seen #Afghanistan fall to the Taliban today.

At best, Afghan women and girls face an uncertain future.

One reason why, is because of what (didn’t) happen at Chipotle #900 in Maumee, Ohio, Monday, April 13, 2015.

First, on Sunday, April 12, 2015, @HillaryClinton announced her candidacy for @POTUS. 3/

The following day, Monday, April 13, 2015, she set off on a road trip to Iowa, stopping for lunch at Chipotle in Maumee, just outside Toledo, off the @OhioTurnpike.

Local media @toledonews @lelindstrom covered. 4/

Hillary Clinton mentioned the stop in her book, What Happened.

@nytimes @amychozick mentioned the stop in her book, Chasing Hillary.

@jonallendc and @amieparnes mentioned the stop in their book, Shattered.

What didn't happen; they didn't mention?

@HumaAbedin left no tip. 5/

That's right. No tip.

Remember, tips are good karma and karma never lies.

Only the staff knows for sure.

No tip.

@politico @michaelkruse reported No tip.

@bpolitics @writerknowles reported No tip.

@toledonews @lelindstrom did not. Why not?

Hillary Clinton has had issues with tipping for decades.

Even in 2021, Huma Abedin mentioned the stop at Chipotle in her book, Both / And - A Life in Many Worlds, but ignored the controversy re No tip.

At least her book sheds some light on why: She was raised with privilege, and apparently never experienced economic hardship.

The late Rush Limbaugh asked the obvious question:

Did Hillary leave a tip?

Answer: No, as usual.

Any comment re No tip?

How do you tip?

15/

Did this affect the results?

Well, we know that in Cuyahoga County [ Cleveland ], there was a significant Presidential undervote; people filled out their ballots with their selections, but left President blank.

We do know that Donald Trump won the 2016 Presidential Election by c. 78,000 votes in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Everyday Americans knew re No tip.

Professional political reporters @michaelkruse and @writerknowles noticed, even if Hillary didn’t care.

17/

@michaelkruse @writerknowles And Afghan women, and all in Afghanistan, especially our Afghan Allies, still face an uncertain future.
