Harris Sets the Record Straight on Her McDonald’s Job After Trump Jabs
In an MSNBC interview, the VP confirmed she worked at the Golden Arches as a student and revealed the reason why she’s talking about it.
Amid Donald Trump’s baseless accusation that Kamala Harris was lying when she said she worked at a McDonald’s for one summer in the 1980s, the vice president emphatically stated during a Wednesday interview that she did, in fact, work there to help fund her schooling. “I have,” Harris told MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle, who had asked: “At any point in your life have you served two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun working at a McDonald’s?” Harris made a point to note that there are no “small jobs,” as Ruhle had phrased it. “Part of the reason I even talk about having worked at McDonald’s is because there are people who work at McDonald’s in our country who are trying to raise a family…and pay rent on that,” Harris said. “And I think part of the difference between me and my opponent includes our perspective on the needs of the American people, and what our responsibility then is to meet those needs.”
