Staff at a branch of McDonald's have been sworn to secrecy about whether
Kamala Harris ever worked there after Donald Trump accused her of lying.
 
Employees at the franchise in Alameda, California told The Telegraph they had
been instructed by bosses not to talk about the vice-president, after claims
that she invented her summer job to appear more authentic to voters.
 
Ms Harris has spoken repeatedly about her time at the restaurant, and says
her
job there during her university degree in the 1980s inspired her to support
working families.
 
"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," she told MSNBC last month.
 
"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."
 
--------------------------
 
(1) No one should be trying to raise a family on a McDonald's salary. Those
jobs were never meant to feed a family of four and send the kids to college.
Shaking the fry basket or squirting the guac bottle is not valuable enough
labor to justify paying the wages required to buy a house and support an
entire family.
 
(2) "Meeting those needs" in this context is not in any way, shape, or form
the job of government in the first place, let alone the federal government.
 
(3) What's Kammie hiding? She claims that Trump must be hiding something if
he
won't release his medical records, so by the same standard, Kammie must be
hiding something if she won't release her employment records. Just like she
won't release any of the paperwork on the gun she claims to own. It's likely
that she made up both stories to score political points and hopes if she
stonewalls long enough people will forget about them and move on to other
things.

The mystery deepens...

The Washington Post obtained a copy of Kammie's 1987 job application for a law
clerk position in the Alameda County District Attorney's Office. She was in
law school at the time and in a section that asked her to list all employment
for the last 10 years, she listed several past jobs, including a month-long
internship at a stock brokerage.

McDonald's is not listed.

When she speaks about the job, she talks like she does about the Glock pistol
that she allegedly owns. Her speech is halting and her descriptions are
vague.

And then there's the fact that neither of Kammie's memoirs mentions anything
resembling a job at McDonald's.

It's looking more and more like Kammie's job at McDonald's is nothing but a
lie, made up to help the working class identify with her and feel she's one of
them. Which is why the left-- both in the political class and the media-- had
an absolute meltdown over Trump's photo-op at a McDonald's last week. They all
took it as a poke in Kammie's eye about her mythical McDonald's job that never
was. Which it was. He served fries at the drive-thru for 15 minutes, then
declared he's worked at McDonald's longer than Kamala Harris has.

All this begs the question: why? In this age of digitized records internet
connectivity, claims like Kammie's can be fact-checked within minutes. So why
would she put herself in this position where she'd almost certainly come off
looking like a lying phony? This is the first case of stolen McValor in
American political history.
