Is there anything that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz won’t lie about?
We ask this question because Harris’s rather sudden addition to her resume of a 1983 stint working at the McDonald’s on Central Avenue in Alameda, California set off our BS detector as soon as she started talking about it, and the burger giant has now issued a statement saying they have no record of Ms. Harris ever working for the company.
Most Americans we know assume that politicians are going to sling a certain amount of baloney – and they are willing to accept it as harmless as long as it is on the level of stretching a gimme putt to a 50-footer or making their barely keeper trout out to be the reincarnation of “Jaws.”
However, lying about something substantive, like where you went to college, where you worked, your academic achievements, your military rank and experience are not easily forgiven by voters.
The tale first surfaced when Harris told striking McDonald's workers on a Las Vegas picket line in 2019: "I worked at McDonald's. I did the french fries and I did the ice cream...If we want to talk about these Golden Arches being a symbol for the best of America, well, the arches are falling short."
It's no surprise the company didn’t want to get sucked further into the political scrum surrounding Harris’s phony claim she worked there, even though the claim first surfaced as part of Harris’s demand the company raise wages as part of the Democrats’ “living wage” campaign that has driven many food service establishments out of business.
Harris and Walz have turned lying about their resumes into an art form, and as Piers Morgan observed in a column for the New York Post, their lies are different because they go “right to the heart of the Democratic candidate’s persistent pitch that she is the truth antidote to fork-tongued Trump.”
If you’re going to position yourself as a bastion of honesty, you can’t tell brazen, self-promoting “I’m middle class just like you” fibs about working at McDonald’s, concluded Mr. Morgan.
What we found most interesting about the whole Kamala Harris working at McDonald’s lie is that Donald Trump called BS on it from the beginning, and his weekend campaign event taking a shift at a Pennsylvania Mickey Dees, was the perfect vehicle for smoking out the truth.
"I'm gonna do everything... Oh, I'm going. Because she lied... We checked it out. Unless somebody comes up with something. We checked it out. They said she never worked there. She even picked the store. We went to the manager. The manager's been there forever. Do you remember her? 'No, she never worked here'. They know," Trump, teased on “Fox & Friends” last week, reiterating that Harris lied.
According to the New York Post, “Well over a thousand MAGA-Donald’s faithful lined Street Road in Lower Southampton Township in an effort to meet Trump and say, ‘Hail to the chef’ at the McDonald’s in critical Bucks County, outside Philadelphia.”
The hilarity of the germophobic billionaire and former President salting and scooping fries and bantering with customers and the media at the drive through window was just a prelude to the serious point of the event.
“I’ve now worked for 15 minutes more than Kamala,” said Trump, showing Harris up to be a liar and demonstrating once again just how fake and inauthentic she is.

"Is there anything that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz won't lie about?"
This is in no way meant to be sarcastic, but the necessity of asking the question seems to me to be its own answer.
