First It Was Dogs and Cats. Now It’s The Golden Arches, as Trump Amps Another Baseless Claim
Republican lies about his opponent
Apparently there’s no baseless claim Donald Trump won't embrace.
After weeks of claiming, falsely, that migrants in Springfield, Ohio, have been eating their neighbors’ pets, Trump has begun amping up another baseless claim gaining popularity on the political right: alleging that Vice President Kamala Harris has been lying about her time during her youth working for McDonald’s.
Harris has been talking about her time working for a location of the fast food chain while growing up in Oakland Calif, as a way of introducing herself as been raised in the middle class.
But, at a rally Monday in Pennsylvania, Trump claimed — without evidence — that Harris has been lying about her time at the Golden Arches.
He has also falsely challenged Harris’ racial identity, as well.
“For a long time, she’s been talking about her experience at McDonald’s: ‘I worked at McDonald’s over the French fries. It was so hot.’ I think I’m going to go to a McDonald’s next week someplace, I’m going to go — might not be here in your your place,” Trump said. “I’m going to go to a McDonald’s and I’m going to work the French fry job for about a half an hour. I want to see how it is.
”But she said she worked and she grew up in terrible conditions. She worked at McDonald’s. It was such — she never worked there,” Trump claimed, baselessly. “And these fake news reporters will never report it. They don’t want to report it because they’re fake. They’re fake. They don’t want to report it. She never worked at McDonald’s, but it was a big part of her resume.
“They went and they went to the different places, ‘Did she work here? Did she work here? Did she work here?’ They said, ‘We don’t know who the hell she is. Leave us alone. We’re making hamburgers.’”
Trump supporter Ryan Fournier began circulating the allegations on social media that Harris is lying about her employment at McDonald's.
However, independent fact-checkers have declared the claim that the vice president is lying to be false.
