It’s not implausible for someone to have worked at McDonald’s when they were just starting out. The problem with such stories by politicians is that they’re often made up to sound like ‘ordinary folks’.
And the Kamala campaign has all but admitted that it’s trying to gaslight middle-class white women.
“Her campaign has real room to grow with non-college-educated white women repelled by Trump, who aides believe she can win if they feel she’s more middle class than radical left.”
That’s why she keeps falsely claiming she “grew up in a middle-class family”.
AOC infamously built her bio on claiming to have worked as a bartender when she was actually working for a leftist political organization.
Kamala’s claim about McDs struck a lot of people the same way. When Trump called her a liar, her campaign could have easily struck him down, instead the New York Times set out to back up her story and the campaign refused to talk to its own press agents.
This is what the New York Times went with instead.
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.
It’s like Fight Club. Rule number one is you never talk about it if you’re one of those “regular folks”.
Wanda Kagan is “regular folks” in the sense that they both went to a high-end prep school in Montreal. She works in the Academic Affairs Directorate in Montreal.
The New York Times, after investigating the story, can only manage to come up with an old friend of hers (who attended the DNC as her guest) claiming that she heard Kamala’s mother tell her that.
Truly a fact checking farce. The paper would have done better not to even run the story.
Where”s the beef in the NYT story?
Can’t find it! Nothing there!
You’ve been looking for AOC’s brain again, I see.
I’m not sure McDonald’s uses beef in its burgers……..
I see we have two meat eaters here. Tube steak, I figure.
Some leftist rag stated that Trump claims, “without evidence” that Kamala never worked at McDonalds. (As if you can prove a negative.)
And then it went on to claim that the Harris campaign and Kamala’s mother were able to support the “fact” that Kamala had worked at McDonald’s. (I wasn’t aware that Kamala already had her 2024 Campaign structure around, back then, when she was still in high school.)
Trump has numerous strong pieces of evidence that he can use (primarily the lack of McDonald’s employment records, but also lack of any mention of that experience in her own book, etc., etc…), whereas all Kamala can produce is hearsay generated by people with a vested interest in supporting her very likely fictional story.
The New York Slimes has just about always been Fake News and Leftists Propaganda since it covered up for Stalin Hitler Castro the Viet Cong and are behind this 1619 Project this leftists rag should be on everyone’s Boycott List
HAHAHAHAHAHA “That’s what us regular folks did. We didn’t talk much about our McDonalds days back then.” …and then sometimes I just like to sit for a spell and reminisce about them McDonalds days, and phrase my rememberings in the most absurdly cliche version of how a 23-year-old campaign staffer thinks “regular” people talk. Yep, Pepperidge Farms remembers. More unwitting campaign parody gold from the Kamala campaign, which is becoming even more hilarious than the Babylon Bee.
Could she have misremembered that she worked at a MOntreal McDonald’s? She was a teenager while living in Montreal.
Yeah. Actually, I was wondering about that myself. McDonald’s Canada.
But, while I’m aware that many people in Montreal do speak English (actor William Shatner was one), I’m not sure that they would have hired a person who couldn’t speak French. Particularly how chauvinistic the French are.
But, it is still definitely a possibility.
I don’t know how she could misremember, though. I lived and worked in Canada back in the 1970s, and I can still remember specifically just what and where my jobs were. And I’m 65 now.
Look at how the paper of record is making itself ridiculous.Wow. Trump’s stunt was PURE genius. He was able to get TDS people to watch his video where he appears likeable and gracious, not the evil racist sexist devil they believe in. It’s not likely that many people actually care if Kamala worked at McDonald’s or not. But, by “protesting too much”, the MSM is making her die on this hill. Who knew?
I was once abducted by aliens who put me to work at one of their galactic fast food joints. I defy anyone to prove me wrong.
