This application required the applicant to “list every position she held in the last 10 years.” Harris made no mention of a job at McDonald’s, which would have fallen under the ten-year limit.
She did list a clerical job she only held for a month. She also listed “granular life experience[s] on her résumé—‘extensive travel in India, Africa, [and] Europe’ and ‘lived in Montreal, Canada for six years’—but not McDonald’s.”
The Free Beacon says it has reached out to the Harris campaign for specifics on her time at McDonald’s, but, after two weeks, there has been no response.
The Free Beacon is correct. We may discover Harris did work at McDonald’s for a time. But it’s quite a thing when two news outlets that pretend to be serious about their reporting — the far-left Politico and far-left New York Times — report something central to a presidential candidate’s biography without seeming to fact-check it.
I literally had a college career services counselor tell me to remove a similar job from my resume. Also, until recently, it wasn’t generally perceived as virtuous to have had a fast-food job. We don’t ■■■■ on people “flipping burgers” (and other workers) as much as we used to and that’s a positive development.
Hey, if she lied about working at McDonald’s, it’s a matter of fact. She’s chosen to make that part of her political story. Given her background, it’s not surprising or inconsistent that she worked there. I’d have a hard time “proving” I worked at some of my jobs 30 or 35 years ago, now that I think of it.
But if she made it up, it’s fair game to get called on it.
Like this one? The job she was actually in charge of on the border.
“Private companies have committed to invest $4.2 billion in northern Central America as part of an effort by U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris to reduce migration by targeting economic development, the White House said on Monday.”
