Former President Donald Trump early Monday morning took to Truth Social to allege that Vice President Kamala Harris never worked at McDonald's.
"Lyin' Kamala Harris is now A CONFIRMED LIAR IN THAT SHE NEVER WORKED AT McDonald's, as she said she had FOR YEARS. SHE NEVER WORKED AT McDONALD'S. SHE IS A LIAR, NOT A PRESIDENT!" Trump said in a Truth Social post.
The GOP nominee visited a McDonald's in Pennsylvania on Sunday as he stepped up his criticism of Harris and dug into his claim, spread without offering evidence, that she never worked at the fast-food chain while in college.
The former president visited a McDonald's in Feasterville-Trevose, which is part of Bucks County, a swing area northeast of Philadelphia. Harris has talked during her campaign about her experiences as a fry cook at McDonald's, and Trump planned to try his hand at the job before heading to an evening town hall in Lancaster then on to a Pittsburgh Steelers home game against the New York Jets.
Trump has fixated in recent weeks on the summer job Harris said she held in college, working the cash register and making fries at McDonald's while attending Howard University in Washington.
Harris has talked about her McDonald's experience as a way to show she understands working-class struggles.
"When Trump feels desperate, all he knows how to do is lie," Harris campaign spokesman Ian Sams said Sunday. "He can't understand what it's like to have a summer job because he was handed millions on a silver platter, only to blow it."
