The far-left New York Times found one “witness” to vouch that Kamala Harris worked at a McDonald’s and hid the fact this so-called witness also happens to be a Harris campaign surrogate.
Over the weekend, the Times — a left-wing propaganda outlet that spreads fascism, conspiracy theories, and antisemitism — wrote an absurd defense of Kamala’s claim she worked at a McDonald’s during the summer of 1983. I’ll get to the absurdities in a bit, but the most convincing part of the defense (that, as I’ll also explain, isn’t very convincing) was Kamala’s one witness. Here’s how the Times presented this witness:
But The New York Times interviewed a friend who had known Ms. Harris as a teenager and remained in touch with the family for years afterward. Wanda Kagan, a close friend of Ms. Harris’s when they attended high school together in Montreal, said she recalled Ms. Harris having worked at McDonald’s around that time.
Answering questions by email, Ms. Kagan said that Ms. Harris’s mother, who died in 2009, had told Ms. Kagan about the summer job years ago. Ms. Kagan said she herself had also worked at one of the fast-food chain’s many franchises in those years. [emphasis added]
The bold part is a bald-faced lie according to the Washington Free Beacon, the outlet that originally broke this story two months ago.

Can confirm, I was the ice cream machine. Kamala actually worked more hours per day than I did.
If Liar Liar Pants on Fire were a real thing...
I would NEVER miss a Kamala speech!
Does the surrogate work for the NYT?
Most Americans roll their eyes to the back of their heads when hearing about political topics. But McDonald’s, both with Kamala’s supposed work record debacle and with Trump’s franchise visit, resonates with many Americans. The MSM can’t bury stories about McDonald’s.
It is amazing how many people do not know that Harris did not grow up in US. Neither was she born from even on US parent. Since she didn’t work at McDonald’s in the US then I would be curious to know if there should be certain government tax records in Canada that show if she was employed at a given place.
paid empployee versus real life deplorables, like me.
Ohh Kay!
The rest of the media will parrot what the NY Times said and also leave out the important info.
Harris' claim is that she worked McD's while in college. Multiple problems here:
(1) Her claim stems from the 'summer after her freshman year' in the Bay Area (SRC: New York Times). That's not in high school... would this 'friend' really have known about a college job?
(2) The NYT cites her saying that the McDonalds in question was in the "Bay Area". That breaks her education timeline:
"The Democratic presidential candidate attended Westmount High School in Montreal, Canada, from 1977 to 1981 after her mom, Shyamala Gopalan, got a teaching job at McGill University’s medical school and a research position at Jewish General Hospital.
After graduation, Harris attended Vanier College in Montreal for a year before transferring to Howard University, a historically black university in Washington, D.C., and graduated with a degree in economics and political science in 1986." (source: USA Today)
The same source indicates that she never got to the 'Bay Area' until AFTER getting an undergrad degree from Howard in 1986 (technically, it reads that she did this "Following her undergraduate studies", which doesn't necessary mean she got the degree, but I'll move on).
Regardless: this is now 6-7 years removed from Montreal, and would a law student really have gotten a summer job at McDonalds??
In short: nothing adds up in that story. Not that we're surprised.
There should be Social Security records with the earnings for the time she worked there.
The fact that the NYT had to find a “witness” is evidence Trump’s excursion to McD is hurting Kamala.
What’s there for parents to talk about when it comes to their adult children’s part-time jobs?
I'm sure it was a simple mistake and not a reflection of the fact the New York Times is in bed with democrats and has thrown away the little bit of integrity they have left... for NOTHING. What an embarrassment the Times has become.
I read that gubmint is looking into McD’s for price fixing or gouging
If Kamala isn’t lying (she is) all she has to do is produce a W-2 form.
The so-called witness also happens to be a Harris campaign surrogate.
But McDonald’s still have no record of it duh.
The so-called witness is a sociopath.
