Did Kamala Harris Work As A Burger Flipper Or Potato Fryer at McDonald’s? Or Was It Another Lie From The Airhead Candidate?

Did Democrat candidate Kamala Harris ever flip burders or shovel fries at MaccyD’s? It doesn't seem the kind of quetion that would swing the result of an election from one candidate to another, but it has become one of the most controversial issues of the US Presidential election campaign.

The Democratic candidate, a child of privilege herself, made the claim in an attempt to bolster her middle class credentials by implying her time behind the deep fryer helped fund her understand the problems and concerns of working and middle class Americans.

But Republicans, led by Donald Trump, have attacked Ms Harris’ claims, accusing her of lying in a desperate attempt to make her seem more relatable to voters. Harris has left herself wide open to this criticism by declining to provide anything more than a vague account of her time at the golden arches.

When news media representatives visited McDonald's outlets in the area where she claimed to have worked, they learned staff had been told they were not to talk about whether the candidate had ever worked at McDonald’s.

Ever the opportunist, Trump has taken things a step further, by entering the kitchen himself and serving up portions of fries to supporters at a franchise in Pennsylvania.
