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

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has repeatedly claimed that she worked at McDonald’s while getting her undergraduate degree in the 1980s. This claim has been reported by multiple reputable news outlets, but aside from Harris’ own testimony, there is no independent evidence such as a photo, employment record, or confirmation from a friend or family member to verify the story. Harris has invoked the alleged McDonald’s work experience throughout her political career, including in a 2024 presidential campaign ad and during a 2024 appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show.” Other prominent Democrats, such as former President Bill Clinton, have also repeated the anecdote. However, some internet users have challenged the claim, with unverified reports that “McDonald’s Corporate sources” have no record of Harris working at their locations. Snopes reached out to Harris’ campaign and McDonald’s headquarters seeking evidence to corroborate the claim, but as of the report’s publication, no such proof has been uncovered. Without tangible evidence to independently confirm or debunk the story, Snopes has rated the claim “Research In Progress” as they continue to investigate.

      I moderate socialists is the defense? That’s what the NAZI’s did mate, maybe social workers unite is not your best term.

      So, now you’re comparing moderating a socialist forum to the heinous crimes of the Nazis? Say what, mate?! WTF is wrong with you?!

      That’s the kind of twisted logic the capitalist overlords feed to those too scared to stand against them!

      If you think standing up for workers’ rights and moderating a space where true revolutionary ideas can flourish makes me anything like those monsters, then you’ve lost all sense of reality.

      Maybe it’s time you examine whose agenda you’re truly serving, because it sure as hell isn’t the working class. Wow. Just wow.

          So whose agenda do you think I am serving by being socialist? Don’t be vague, come on, just say it. Say it out loud. You realize I didn’t write nor did post this article, right?!

          So who’s agenda am I serving? What huge socialist overlord am I serving?

              Horatio Nelson.

              I don’t know who that is or what that means. The only thing I found on him was Wikipeida saying that “He is widely regarded as one of the greatest naval commanders in history.”

                Yeah, he out maneuver the French/Spanish fleet at Trafalgar and turned the tide of the war against Napoleon in England’s favor. Lead the charge if I remember, died after being shot by a French soldier. Arguably it is what gave them the upper hand and set the stage for a victory at Waterloo by the Duke of Wellington to end what we call the Napoleonic wars.

                I’ve never actually had beef wellington… Do you recommend it?
