As Jeb Bush was attempting to convince voters Common Core national standards are good for local schools, he pivoted to tell a weird joke about breakfast.

“I was all-in on the education subject. I was like the pig in the breakfast experience not the chicken. If you know what I mean…I was the bacon,” he said.

After a brief awkward silence, he added, “Get it?”

“I thought that was funny,” Bush said to a smattering of chuckles.

Bush was appearing at the Beacon Drive-In restaurant in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Maybe it was a reference to the menu? Maybe?
