Former President Donald Trump is expected to work the fry cooker at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania this weekend after raising doubts about Vice President Kamala Harris’ past employment at the fast food restaurant, according to a report.
A source familiar with the matter told the Philadelphia Inquirer on Tuesday the GOP presidential nominee will serve up some fast food at the Golden Arches during a campaign stop in the crucial swing state on Sunday.
Trump, for weeks, has questioned whether Harris actually worked at McDonald’s as the Democratic presidential nominee has claimed.
“We don’t want to hear fake promises, even something like she worked very long and hard hours over french fries at McDonalds,” he said in late September in North Carolina. “She never worked at McDonald’s. It’s a fake story.”
Trump, who is a fan of McDonald’s grub, also indicated he would stop by a McDonald’s in mid-October and add cook to his resume.
“I think I’m going to a McDonald’s in two weeks actually and I’m gonna work the french fries because I will have worked longer and harder at McDonald’s than she did if I do that even for a half-hour,” Trump, 78, said to cheers.
Harris, 59, has said repeatedly over the years that she worked for Mickey D’s while getting her undergraduate degree in the 1980s, including in a campaign ad released in August and in an interview with MSNBC in September.
But there is no firm evidence, like an employment record or photo, to verify that claim, fact checker Snopes has said.
