Harris Claims She Worked at McDonald's in College. Here's What We Know

The presidential candidate has repeatedly claimed the alleged work experience in an attempt to connect with low-wage workers.

Claim: In the 1980s, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris worked at McDonald's while she got her undergraduate degree.

Rating: Research In Progress

Harris has made this claim repeatedly over the years, and multiple reputable news outlets have reported on the story. But, aside from Harris' testimony itself, there is no evidence (such as a photo, employment record, or confirmation from a friend or family member) to independently verify the claim. Though we've seen no reason to doubt its veracity, we've reached out to Harris' campaign and McDonald's for evidence to corroborate her claim and we'll update this report when we learn more.

Aside from the above-mentioned news reports, there was no tangible evidence of Harris working at McDonald's as a college student. We reached out to Harris' campaign, as well as McDonald's headquarters, seeking such proof — which could include photos or videos of her working at the restaurant, employment records or physical items such as a uniform or name tag. We also looked for public interviews by friends or family members of Harris' to confirm the story, with no luck.

She says she was Command Sergeant Major of the grill.

THAT is an all-time classic post.

Here is why I think Kamala's claim to have worked at McDonalds is completely bogus.

It would be super easy for Kamala to tell us exactly what McDonalds she worked at. That would be so easy to vet. Yet, Kamala is being vague and allowing the MSM, who are in the tank for her, to cover. This forces "conservative" media to do the legwork of confirming, which makes it seem like they are just trying to dig up dirt on a political opponent.

As well, you would think a particular McDonalds franchise would be proud to advertise that a national nominee for president of the United States used to work there. You would think they would be making much hay out of that. They don't need to endorse her but they would certainly have a plaque of some kind of other signage insde the restaurant to indicate that she was once an employee there.

Yep..... sure do. It’s still there and has been completely rebuilt from the original Mickey Ds styles.

On Buckhead highway just inside the perimeter.

I worked at @McDonalds when I was a student, doing french fries and ice cream.

That's weird.

Speaking of 7-11.
It was 2am when I entered one to buy coffee. I approached the counter the same time the clerk did. On the counter was a condom pack. He, shocked wondered where it came from.
“Harris was here” I said.
He looked puzzled.
I translated:
“Kamala was here”
Clerk couldn’t stop laughing.
