Natasha Korecki, Politico’s National Political Correspondent covering 2020, reported on the moment Joe Biden entered a cafe in Iowa.
A photo of the incident is going viral. It shows an Iowa farmer sitting in a local cafe, and he appears to be completely ignoring Joe Biden, the former vice president and 2020 Democratic presidential frontrunner.
When Korecki asked the man if he ignored Biden because he does not like the former vice president, the man replied, “Who?”
Korecki informed the man that Biden was former President Barack Obama’s vice president.
The farmer responded, “Are you serious? Ohhhhh. I’m not an Obama fan. This is Republican country.”
Here’s the photo:

Korecki followed up:
I ask the guy if he just wasn’t a fan of Biden’s and he says “who?” I say the former VP. The man, who farms in the Missouri Valley says he’s never heard of Joe Biden.

He says “are you serious?” When I say he was Obama’s veep, I get an “ohhhhh. I’m not an Obama fan. This is Republican country.”
