Harris pokes fun at Trump’s obsession with her McDonald’s job: ‘I did the fries’

Kamala Harris doubled down on her burger-flipping duties at McDonald’s during her college years, as Donald Trump continues to baselessly claim that the vice president is lying about her summer job.

Harris has repeatedly noted her brief stint at the fast food chain before her first law job in the 1980s since she ascended to the top of the Democratic ticket. If elected in the 2024 election, she’d make history as the first US president to have worked at McDonald’s.

A tetchy Trump, however, has repeatedly dismissed Harris’s employment as “fake.”

The vice president sat down with MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle in her first one-on-one network interview since she became the Democratic party’s presidential nominee, and at one point poked fun at the former president’s obsession with her days at the Golden Arches.

“I just want to ask you, yes or no,” Ruhle said. “At any point in your life have you served two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions…”

“I have,” Harris replied. “It was not a small job, I did the fries.”

She continued: “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. I worked there as a student.”

Harris has repeatedly compared her more humble beginnings to Trump’s wealthy background, suggesting the former president is out of touch with the average citizen.

“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.”

Harris’s rebuttal comes after Trump once again taunted his Democratic rival for her McDonald’s job during his Indiana, Pennsylvania, campaign rally on
