As the countdown continues for the 2024 election, the narrative surrounding Vice President Kamala Harris’s supposed McDonald’s employment has taken yet another hilarious dive. While the campaign machinery has been churning out messages about her “humble beginnings,” it turns out that the evidence backing this claim is thinner than a McDonald’s burger patty. Despite the media’s best efforts to substantiate this story, they have come up empty-handed and, frankly, embarrassed.
The New York Times dedicated a substantial amount of ink to this farce, arguing that Donald Trump has no evidence to claim that Harris never flipped burgers at the Golden Arches. But here’s the kicker: their “evidence” consists of hearsay from a friend of Kamala’s late mother. In a world where facts seem to have taken a backseat to narratives, this flimsy connection doesn’t even qualify as a basis for a pizza party, let alone a verified employment record. Yet the media remains flustered, as they cannot adequately counter Trump’s assertion without resorting to your average tabloid-level fluff.

In an attempt to bolster the beleaguered narrative, leftist social media users began to circulate what they claimed was a photo of Harris sporting a McDonald’s uniform. This attempt to substantiate her working-class anecdote was quickly dashed when it was revealed that the image was nothing more than a digital creation—a modern-day equivalent of Bigfoot sightings. Even the usually liberal PolitiFact couldn’t save the day for Kamala this time. Social media is no stranger to a good old-fashioned hoax, but this one just might take the cake.
Harris has emphasized her fast-food experience as a testament to her middle-class roots, making it a cornerstone of her campaign. However, the truth is that there’s a glaring absence of any proof to back this up. No photographs of her manning the fryers, no record of her handling cash—nothing suggests she ever donned that iconic yellow and red uniform. Democrats may want voters to picture her slinging burgers, but it seems the only thing she’s been serving up is a plate full of deception.
As the election looms, it’s evident that the Left’s attempts to fabricate an authentic narrative for Kamala are backfiring spectacularly. The lesson here? One cannot simply manufacture a backstory without it eventually unraveling like a cheap Big Mac wrapper. In a race so pivotal, perhaps it’s time the Democrats took a long hard look at the facts instead of trying to distract with flashy tales that crumble under scrutiny.
