Vice President Kamala Harris, facing continued attacks from Donald Trump over her alleged falsehoods about working at McDonald’s in college, has firmly reconfirmed her past employment at the fast-food giant. In an interview with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle, Harris, with a laugh, answered a humorous “fact check” question referencing the Big Mac jingle.
Trump has repeatedly, and baselessly, accused Harris of fabricating her McDonald’s experience, even claiming he will personally work at the chain for 30 minutes to demonstrate his commitment to the “job.” Harris countered Trump’s claims by highlighting the importance of such jobs for working families and emphasizing that there are no “little jobs.”
“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,” 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.”
Her response was met with praise on social media, with many applauding her for addressing Trump’s attacks head-on and emphasizing the value of all work. The incident has rekindled the debate on the importance of respecting the dignity of all jobs and the role they play in supporting working families.
