Too little. Too late. They knew they were being used by him for a campaign photo shoot.

McDonald's has also distanced itself from Kamala. Kamala claimed, without evidence, to have worked for a short time to pay for college. She also slammed the company for not providing a living wage and now wants Uncle Sugar to pay off student loans. Kamala also admits to working many shifts with Five Guys, but it was unclear if she meant the restaurant.

It's likely that "They" had no idea this was going to occur as this McDonald's is a franchise and the franchise owner made the decision unilaterally (probably for the free advertising).

So unless there was some clause in the franchise agreement there is nothing McDonald's can do.

McDonald's has not made any statement about whether Harris worked at the restaurant.

The difference being Trumpy "worked" for one hour. To try and stay out of prison.

Kamala used to work two jobs. When Kamala worked for Willy Brown, she also did In and Out.

#5 Let's get this right.... Dotard pretended to work for an hour. Just like he pretended to be president.

#5 ACTUALLY, McDonald's has said they have no record of Kamala and the franchise she claimed to work at refuses to comment. The lack of evidences is pretty damning. Not one person has come forward to say, "I worked with Kamala". Weird.

"Kamala used to work two jobs."

Trumpy worked two jobs too!

Running his hateful mouth incessantly and insulting everyone and everything in sight AND calling the FAKE news and constantly lying about himself was hard work!!

ACTUALLY ...

"McDonald's Corporate sources have come forth and said they have no record of Kamala Harris working at any of their locations."

Our rating: False

McDonald's has not made any statement about whether Harris worked at the restaurant.

You are a pathetic liar.
McDonald's did not say such a thing. What they said was that neither they nor the franchisee retains employment records going back that long. They never said that the claim is baseless.

ACTUALLY.

That word does not mean what you think it means.

Whats weird is that you maga maroons have fixated on this.

I bet you would also have trouble finding someone you worked with 41 years ago.

If you actually worked anywhere 41 years ago.

I had a job in a health food/pharmacy 41 years ago and the owners are now dead and the store has a new owner and is a different business now. I could never prove I actually worked there. But I worked there for at least a year. There is no way I could find the few people I worked with there. It's weird that you have fixated on this as though it's earth shattering news that no one who worked there can now be found.

Kamala claimed, without evidence, to have worked for a short time to pay for college. 100% True.

Ok, so now DR lib kids want businesses to be political 100%. All McD's did was say it wasn't going to support either party...exactly what businesses should do imo. But, if you disagree and think every business should have to declare their support of a candidate, when one comes out and says no then why do you automatically take that as them supporting one side or another?

"Kamala claimed, without evidence, to have worked for a short time to pay for college. 100% True.

100% accurate, although I think it's dumb that we have to argue over something like this when it comes to POTUS candidates. But the fact still remains, she said something and nobody can provide evidence. Regardless of your political affiliation, that's called a lie (until it can be proven). But, Harris has been going on for a while now about Rep lies. And no Dem calls her out on her own lies. And she's made some terrific lies.

#14 In 1983 I worked at two companies. Both no longer exist but I'm still in contact with at least one person from both companies.

The problem is you lie so much that you have no credibility with me. The odds are you would just be lying again.

#20 | Posted by donnerboy at 2024-10-22 12:28 PM

I am still in contact with some people I was in the Marines with.

But that's reasonable.

It's not reasonable to stay in contact with McDonald's workers you worked with for maybe a few months.
