Former President Donald Trump worked at McDonald’s on Sunday, pointing out that VP Kamala Harris never worked at one.
The left, media, and Democrats lost their minds, grabbing any straw to make Trump’s stop look bad. Quite pathetic.
You know, this wouldn’t be such a big deal if Harris didn’t bring it up or drone on about how she grew up in the middle class.
It’s that simple!
The New York Times published an editorial as a straight news piece (but what else is new, right?!), claiming that Harris worked at McDonalds because “her campaign and a friend say she did.”
That’s a fact check, you guys.
You guys, Heather Knight and Nicholas Nehamas, started their article with, “Birtherism, meet burgerism.”
Is the NY Times a mainstream media outlet or a blog? I mean, seriously.
You guys, I cannot because the NY Times makes itself look awful while trying to degrade Trump (emphasis mine):
But former President Donald J. Trump has repeatedly accused her of inventing it. Lacking a shred of proof, he has charged that she never actually worked under the golden arches — recalling his earlier false claim that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States.Mr. Trump’s latest allegation also appears to be false.Whether a presidential candidate actually flipped burgers as a college student is a far less serious allegation, of course. But Mr. Trump’s seeding of doubts about Ms. Harris’s story, while insidious and outside the lines of traditional fair play in politics, advances his goal of portraying Ms. Harris as a fraud.It exploits the fact that her life story is not as well known or as well documented at this late stage of the campaign as those of most presidential nominees have been. And it gives voters who may already harbor doubts about her another invitation to dismiss her and doubt what she says.
So, the New York Times admits that no one knows much about Harris.
Then why don’t you ask Harris, NY Times?! Why don’t you guys do some digging?!
Knight and Nehamas made excuses, though:
As with the birtherism conspiracy theory, this one puts Ms. Harris and her aides in something of a bind. Tracking down pay stubs or other documentation from so long ago would be a difficult task for almost anyone. McDonald’s corporate representatives have ignored media requests for corroborating information. And trying to knock down Mr. Trump’s claims could also breathe life into them.
Yeah, they even took a dig at McDonald’s for staying silent, which adds fuel to the fire.
The NY Times interviewed a friend who knew about Harris’s McDonald’s job from her mother:
The campaign did not make any of Ms. Harris’s friends or family members available for interviews about their recollections of her experience there.But The New York Times interviewed a friend who had known Ms. Harris as a teenager and remained in touch with the family for years afterward. Wanda Kagan, a close friend of Ms. Harris’s when they attended high school together in Montreal, said she recalled Ms. Harris having worked at McDonald’s around that time.Answering questions by email, Ms. Kagan said that Ms. Harris’s mother, who died in 2009, had told Ms. Kagan about the summer job years ago. Ms. Kagan said she herself had also worked at one of the fast-food chain’s many franchises in those years.“That’s what us regular folks did,” Ms. Kagan wrote. Still, she indicated that it had not been a frequent topic of conversation for Ms. Harris. “We didn’t talk much about our McDonald’s days back then,” she said.
Knight and Nehamas wrote that Harris rarely talked about her time at McDonald’s and didn’t mention it in her memoir.
The job didn’t come up until 2019 during her presidential run.
I just cannot believe a publication like the NY Times cannot track down anyone who worked with her or knew her during that time.
The NY Times also ignored the fact that there are no records of Harris working there.
