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

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.

I think Trump enjoys campaigning more than he enjoys being in the Oval Office. Next time he can do both.

Did Kamala Harris work at McDonalds?

No, Kamala Harris has never worked at McDonald’s. She is a lawyer and politician who has served in various public offices, including District Attorney of San Francisco, Attorney General of California, U.S. Senator from California, and currently as the Vice President of the United States. There is no record of her having worked at McDonald’s or any similar job in her career history.

“Whether a presidential candidate actually flipped burgers as a college student is a far less serious allegation, of course. But Mr. Trump’s seeding of doubts about Ms. Harris’s story, while insidious and outside the lines of traditional fair play in politics, advances his goal of portraying Ms. Harris as a fraud. “

So... they are admitting what Trump is portraying Harris as... a fraud. Which is exactly what she IS.

Frankly, I needed this laugh today. Anything that will get the NYT leftists’ panties in a wad is A-OK with me. Go Trump!

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.

You're a lawyer and you don't know that the IRS and SS know about every penny you have ever earned and where and when you earned it?

True that.

Apparently, Kamala has worked at McDonald's about as many times as she's won the primary.

Kamala: I used to work saying, "Have it your way".

McDonald's: That's not us. That's Burger King.

Kamala: Well, Willie Brown used to like me saying it.

Our side also cast doubt on whether Kamala got all her 'promotions' based on merit and skill. Not putting down bimbos in general or implying this might be why NYT's writers might be defending Kamala or anything like that.... LOL

I think Elon invented a little machine for Trump. Trump puts in a scheme he's thinking of...and the machine responds...

1. Will drive Dem Nuts. Media will be all over it.

2. Will have mild effect...

3. Dud...Forget it.

Soooo the story is...Musk will give the machine to Trump for free if he can join the campaign.

Last we saw...Musk was jumping up and down with glee.

Trump’s shift at McDonald’s was a brilliant campaign move!

The stupid NYT is left to cry over it!

They will cry a lot more when Trump wins, and carries lots of Republicans to victory with him!

The Social Security Office can pull this up. I saw it with my own eyes when I applied for SS....Back to Day 1 that I worked.

“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.”

I remember the location of every place I worked, even summer jobs.

And if I had become a presidential candidate, I will GUARANTEE you that people who had worked there would be coming out with stories about me.
