<\/p>\nAccording to various estimates, approximately one in seven Americans have worked flipping burgers or overseeing the drive-through service at McDonald\u2019s at some point in their careers. Vice President Kamala Harris includes herself in this group; however, a recent set of public records suggests a different narrative.<\/p>\n
Since the commencement of her presidential campaign in 2019, the Democratic candidate has frequently referenced her initial employment with the world\u2019s most renowned fast food chain, which she undertook following her freshman year in college. \u201cI worked in fries,\u201d she disclosed recently on \u201cThe Drew Barrymore Show,\u201d further stating, \u201cand then I worked as a cashier.\u201d The Washington Free Beacon conducted a thorough review of Harris\u2019s previous public remarks regarding her employment history and identified the first occasion she mentioned her summer job at McDonald\u2019s during a labor rally in Las Vegas that same year. \u201cI was employed at a McDonald\u2019s,\u201d she conveyed to the enthusiastic audience. Major media outlets, including the New York Times, reported, without attribution, that Harris \u201creturned to the Bay Area for a summer during college when she worked at a McDonald\u2019s in Alameda, a city adjacent to Oakland.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, discrepancies in the narrative began to surface when Politico reported that the Harris campaign modified one of her initial advertisements. The original ad claimed that she accepted a position at McDonald\u2019s to \u201cpay her way\u201d through college. However, the revised version indicated that \u201cshe really took the summer job just to earn a bit more spending money,\u201d as stated by the outlet. Further investigation by The Beacon revealed that neither of Harris\u2019s two memoirs, published in 2010 and 2019, reference her brief employment at McDonald\u2019s. Additionally, this summer job was not mentioned in her 2009 book, \u201cSmart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor\u2019s Plan to Make Us Safer.\u201d Stacey Johnson-Batiste, who documented Harris\u2019s ascent in a 2021 autobiography, also confirmed that she had never encountered any information regarding Harris\u2019s employment at McDonald\u2019s.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The situation escalated significantly when the outlet acquired a copy of a job application submitted by a young Harris in 1987, the year she would have finished her first year of college. At that time, Harris was pursuing her law degree and seeking a role within the Alameda County district attorney\u2019s office. Her application provided an extensive account of her employment history, meticulously detailing every position she had held over the preceding decade, including a brief month-long stint at a stock brokerage, as mandated by the application. Notably, there was no reference to her time at McDonald\u2019s.<\/p>\n
Harris, a second-year student at the University of California Hastings College of the Law, touts her cosmopolitanism, citing \u201cextensive travel in India, Africa, [and] Europe\u201d and \u201clived in Montreal, Canada for six years,\u201d but makes no mention of McDonald\u2019s.<\/p>\n
