CRY MORE: NYT Rages at Trump for ‘Insidious’ ‘Smearing’ of Harris with McDonald’s Stunt
NewsBusters ^ | 10/23/2024 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 10/23/2024 9:17:20 AM PDT by JV3MRC

The New York Times was so triggered by former President Donald Trump’s recent trolling of Vice President Kamala Harris’ employment record that it committed a major logical fallacy when attempting to fact-check him.

Trump made a high-profile appearance at a McDonald’s in Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania to work the fryers, on Oct. 20 and The Times couldn’t handle it. The newspaper fired off a bevy of whiny news items complaining about Trump casting doubt on Harris’ claim that she formerly worked for fast-food giant. “Kamala Harris and McDonald’s: A College Job, and a Trump Attack” and “Trump, Slinging Fries and Smearing Harris, Takes Turn Behind a McDonald’s Counter,” were just two of the headlines that led the propaganda-laced stories . Both stories tried to idiotically put the burden of proof on Trump, suggesting he must prove that Harris never worked at McDonald’s instead of expecting Harris to prove her own claims that she did.

They’ve completely lost it over at the NYT. Apparently it now takes five reporters and an intern to type “Trump is Hitler”.

Sort of, “Trump alleged — without evidence — the widely debunked claim that Harris did not work at McDonalds.”

I knew that someone would claim to have “remembered” that kamala actually did work at a McDonald’s.

There is no cost to claim that but the rewards are great. If proven to be a lie, absolutely nothing will happen to the person with the sudden memory. Millions will STILL believe the claim.

No doubt the false claimer will be amply rewarded by fellow dems.

All they need to proof that Harris legitimately worked for McDonald’s, and all of this disappears. Well, maybe not. People may wonder why such proof was available a while back.

“Sort of, “Trump alleged — without evidence — the widely debunked claim that Harris did not work at McDonalds.””

The rest of the media parrots what the NY Times says so you can bet ABC and NPR will being claiming it being debunked too.

There was so much "Joy" at that McDonald's.

Alas...Kamala was "joyless".

Think of what our foreign enemies would do to her if McDonald's puts a hurt on you?

The TDS blinds them to the fact they make the opposing case in their attempts to salvage her from herself.

She lied about her employment. She is a liar. Why not smear her? When do we burn down the Times? If anyone has it coming, the tired legacy media does.

I could understand neither McD's nor Harris herself having proof of her alleged employment from 40 years ago. I worked at a grocery store in high school, and have no idea how I'd prove that to be true. Especially since it closed long ago.

BUT, I do know approximately when I worked there, and exactly where it was. Harris refuses to do provide those specifics. The obvious reason for that is if she's lying, people who did work there during that same time could come out and say "no, she didn't work there, because I was there during that period and she wasn't there."

She avoids specifics so she can't be contradicted.
