Donald Trump's claim that McDonald'sissued a statement claiming Vice President Kamala Harris never worked for the fast food giant was debunked Monday.

The Washington Post reported that McDonalds denied making such a response to the Trump camp.

Harris has said that she worked at McDonald's one summer between her freshman and sophomore years in school at Howard University. Though a throw away comment by Harris, Trump has latched onto the tale — and repeatedly claimed it was untrue.

Over the weekend, Trump's campaign closed down a McDonald's in Pennsylvania to use it for a photo opportunity as he donned an apron and cooked French fries — apparently for his supporters in a drive-thru.

“We have checked with McDonald’s, and they say, definitively, that there is no record of Lyin’ Kamala Harris ever having worked there,” Trump wrote Sunday on TruthSocial. “In other words, she never worked there, and has lied about this ‘job’ for years.”

But the Post's Philip Bump called that Trump's " rhetorical jump", hitting the ex-president's conclusion based on lack of documentation of short-term employment more than 40 years ago.

Bump went on to compare Trump's claim to the following: "If America’s collective memory and documentation of its history suddenly evaporated, we could prove that Trump was never president, since no record of his having done so exists."

Bump said management of the "Golden Arches" isn't happy with the attention.

“Though we are not a political brand,” a statement from McDonald's says, “we’ve been proud to hear former President Trump’s love for McDonald’s and Vice President Harris’s fond memories working under the Arches. While we and our franchisees don’t have records for all positions dating back to the early ’80s, what makes ‘1 in 8’ so powerful is the shared experience so many Americans have had.”

The reference to 1 in 8 is to the number of Americans who have worked for McDonald's at one point in their lives.

"We end where we started," wrote Bump. "There is no reason to think that Harris didn’t work at McDonald’s in 1983 and ... every reason to think that Trump’s suggestion that she didn’t is offered in bad faith and without evidence. "

Except there is, because she lies about everyfuckingthing. Will they be milking this until the election?

Everyone will. Why should we care about policy when someone may have lied about a Summer job in college? It's just another distracting tangent.

Trump really is a PR genius, isn’t he?

He will make a claim that is likely true, but is totally inconsequential, and the media will fall over themselves to “debunk” and “fact check” it.

Anyone who reads it will just shake their heads, because who the f cares, making the credibility of MSM sink further. Plus, after 8 years, everyone who isn’t a democrat, already knows not to take them seriously about Trump.

The end result:

Trump gets a folksy photo op.
Media goes full retard.
Kamala looks like an out of touch elitist who either lied, or think she’s too good to work at a McD for half an hour.

They're saying she has "memories" of working there,

To quote the late Queen Liz, “recollections may vary.”

Good thing she also has no policy so we’re good to get bogged down on funny McDonald’s arguments

If we devolve any further? Trump and Kamala will simply pull out laser pointers(red and blue, respectively) and shine them at the ceiling why screaming "WHY IS THEIR LASER POINTER GREEN!?" and the Post will run an article that reads " Kamala lies about the laser pointer color!"

 

[The Last Stand]

Please op for your sake get your TDS checked. It's unhealthy how much you obsesses over Trump.

I don't care who worked there. Just get my dang order right.

This election is about which candidate you would rather have serving 100 cheeseburgers to the other candidate.

Or accusing Trump of color-blindness and wondering if that will affect his performance as President, lol.

So it's still he said/she said, and McDonalds basically said "no comment".

Wow, amazing.

Let OP think it is owning le stupid chuds in A&N. It's all it has going to it at this rate.

"They didn't say she never worked there, just that they have no record of her ever working there"

Well I'm convinced.

Unless this is a scenario where somehow Kamala’s record of working there disappeared, which I highly doubt, she hasn’t worked there.

It’s just a way of saying she’s never worked at McDonald’s without actually saying it.

 

[Weebburner]

Trump is totally deboonked. He cant prove she didnt work there because there is no record of her ever working there so is statement is false and hes a racist, and sexist for some reason.

This shit is hilarious. Trump trying his best to appeal to literal min wage worker while kamala gets the swifty vote, an entitled trust fund baby that had her entire life and career handed to her.

 

[COME ON OUT YOU RAPIST]

Does anyone expect employment records to exist from over thirty years ago in a restaurant like that?

Yes, because she would have paid taxes working there. Anyone with access to those federal forms could prove Kamala worked there. The only person with legal access to those forms (and authority to show them publicly somehow) is Kamala. Her refusal to do something so simple suggests to me that she lied and didn't work there.

to be fair to kamala, no teenager/YA is good at record keeping and this shit is over 30 years old. Even getting that info from CRA would be near impossible. I dont even know if they would have that info as that shit would have been archived a long time ago and I doubt its been digitalized. Its some teenager T4 slip from some mcdonald franchisee. Unless the owner was some record keeping autist that shit is long gone or buried deep in some box in a closet.

 

[Picnic_Boy]

I don't know if Kamala ever worked at McDonalds, but I'm fairly certain she's blown a few McDonalds managers.

This is literally 5 year old logic, liberals are so truly, fully, entirely retarded.

 

[I'm Retarded?]

lmao this is the most Snopes ass article I've ever read. Donald DRUMPF is hereby rated TEN PINOCCHIOS because akshually no employment records from the time exist, so we CAN'T say for certain whether the disingenuous, performative politician who has been rich her entire life is lying about working a fast food job while going to fucking law school

WE JUST CAN'T KNOW FOR SURE!!!

I'm not as old as either candidate, but I've requested one of these forms for a job I worked as a teenager (which was at least 15 years ago) for legal reasons. They're on file. I have a hard time believing her team couldn't come up with something better than paying for a headline, then not bothering to actually refute Trump's claim.

Do Americans really?

Decades old IRS records are on file, plus social security contribution records going back many decades through the social security admin. I know a 50 yr old who got his entire social security record on one form a few years ago, and it went back to his first job at age 17.

Yes, unfortunately, Americans really.
