Kamala Harris reconfirmed Wednesday that she worked at McDonald’s in college and jabbed at presidential opponent Donald Trump as he flipped out over her burger past. (Watch the video below.)
In an MSNBC interview with the vice president, Stephanie Ruhle noted Trump’s constant Mickey D truthing. She then humorously introduced her “fact check” by asking Harris if she ever served “two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese,” referring to the fast-food giant’s old Big Mac jingle. A laughing Harris helped her finish the line — “on a sesame seed bun” — and then answered directly.
“I have,” the Democratic nominee said, noting she worked the fryer.
Ruhle was ready to move on but she got more than she ordered.
“Part of the reason I even talk about having worked at McDonald’s is because there are people who work at McDonald’s in our country who are trying to raise a family ― I worked there as a student, I was a kid ― who work there trying to raise families and pay rent on that,” Harris said.
“And I think part of the difference between me and my opponent includes our perspective on the needs of the American people and what our responsibility then is to meet those needs,” she continued.
Supporters on X, formerly Twitter, were lovin’ it:
