Suddenly Kamala Worked at McDonalds: “I did fries. And then I did the cashier.”

She is really awful.

“Harris’s résumé a year after she graduated college makes no mention of McDonald’s” — Joseph Simonson, Chuck Ross and Andrew Kerr, Washington Free Beacon.

“A source at McDonald’s corporate tells me they have no record of a Kamala Harris ever working for them around the time and place she claims.” — Kenny Webster, @KennethRWebster

‘I Did Fries’: Kamala Harris Claims She Worked at McDonald’s, but She Never Mentioned It Until She Ran for President. Did She Really Toil Beneath the Golden Arches?

“I did fries. And then I did the cashier.” That’s how Kamala Harris described her duties as a McDonald’s employee—a job she said she held in the early 1980s while enrolled at Howard University—during an April appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show. The remark surprised Barrymore, who gasped, “I didn’t know that about you.”

In fairness to Barrymore, hardly anyone did. Harris didn’t mention the job until she ran for president in 2019. It went undisclosed in her memoir, The Truths We Hold, even as she riffed on the “many jobs” she held in college and penned a chapter on the service industry’s “starvation wages.” Now, as Harris sprints for the White House, her work under the Golden Arches is a central part of her biography.

Earlier this month, Harris’s campaign said she “worked at McDonald’s to put herself through college.” A pro-Harris super PAC ran an ad echoing that claim. But there’s no public evidence to buttress Harris’s claims about the job, the Free Beacon‘s Joe Simonson, Chuck Ross, and Andrew Kerr report, and Team Harris refused to provide additional detail. They have already tweaked the story, too.

“According to an August 14 item in Politico, an early cut of a Harris campaign ad said she worked at McDonald’s to ‘pay her way’ through college. Aides changed the script to reflect that ‘she really took the summer job just to earn a bit more spending money,’ as Politico put it.

“The Politico story, which was published just hours after the Washington Free Beacon reached out to the Harris campaign with a series of detailed questions about Harris’s claims regarding her job at McDonald’s, didn’t say when exactly—or where—Harris worked at the restaurant. The campaign did not respond to the Free Beacon’s inquiries.

“It is possible that Harris did indeed work at McDonald’s in the early 1980s. But the absence of that detail in public records and her campaign’s coyness and refusal to provide any further details raise questions about what is now a foundational narrative.”
