To this day, Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris has still not been able (nor has she tried) to prove she ever worked at a McDonald’s. As per the norm, the media has even tried to step in on her behalf to “prove” her claim but has so far been left with McEgg on their faces.
It’s an issue that raises more questions about Harris’ claims of growing up “in a middle-class family.” It has become such a focal point in the 2024 presidential campaign that GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump donned a McDonald’s apron last Sunday and worked a shift at the fry station and drive-thru at a location in Pennsylvania.
“I’ve now worked for 15 minutes more than Kamala,” at McDonald’s, Trump said at the time.
The event was a big hit with the locals, judging by the pictures and videos. But it sent Democrats and the media into fits of rage to the extent that Newsweek tried to cancel the McDonald’s restaurant in question. The New York Times even went as far as interviewing McDonald’s workers to grade Trump on his technique, with the only thing missing being any Zaprudering of the videos:
For a veteran of a reality TV show about business savvy, he committed what appeared to be a number of health code violations, several workers said. Mr. Trump did not opt for a hairnet or gloves. As he filled a box of fries cautiously, he quipped that the food “never touched the human hand.”
“Supposing we want some extra salt, can I do it like that?” Mr. Trump asked a worker. Without waiting for an answer, he added several vigorous shakes over a fresh batch of fries. Then, he tossed a handful of salt over his left shoulder, because, he said, he’s superstitious.
That did not go over well with some of the half-dozen workers who watched the video.
“You don’t throw salt like that,” said Kishia, a McDonald’s manager in Flatbush, Brooklyn, who asked that her full name not be used because she was on the clock. “Somebody could have been behind him, you know?”
Not surprisingly, the Very Online Left are still losing their minds over the issue. On Saturday, an image circulated from at least one Facebook account (image since deleted) and some large Twitter/X accounts that they said proved Harris indeed worked at a McDonald’s in the 1980s:
The image, as the Community Notes indicated above, was digitally altered. Some accounts deleted their tweets once it was confirmed Harris’ face had been put on to someone else’s body:
What made the alteration especially egregious was the fact that the real photo was of a Canadian woman who died from cancer in 2007:
Some spotted it was fake a mile away. Others noted it had also previously been published on Pinterest about 10 months ago:
Meanwhile, this was a far more realistic impersonation of Kamala Harris at a McDonald’s:
There was also this:
I’m lovin’ it!
