Former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, stated on Fox & Friends on Friday that Vice President Kamala Harris was untruthful regarding her employment at McDonald’s.

“She lied,” Trump said. Show host Brian Kilmeade asked, “You don’t think she ever worked at McDonald’s?”

Trump responded, “I know she didn’t. We checked it out. Unless somebody comes up with something. We checked it out. They said, ‘She never worked here.’”

Trump added, “She even picked a store, we went to the manager, the manager’s been there forever. ‘You remember here?’ ‘No, she never worked here.’”

Harris asserted that she had employment at a McDonald’s, with her campaign later specifying that it was located in Alameda, California, during the summer of 1983. According to a detailed report by Breitbart News regarding her background, there are only two McDonald’s establishments in Alameda. The Harris campaign did not provide a response to Breitbart News regarding which specific McDonald’s she was employed at.

Politico indicated that a campaign advertisement claimed she worked at McDonald’s to finance her college education; however, the campaign subsequently revised this statement, clarifying that her employment was for additional spending money rather than to cover college expenses.

At the time of her alleged employment at McDonald’s, she was transitioning from her freshman to sophomore year at Howard University, and both of her parents held professorships at prestigious universities. It remains unclear what actions Trump took to investigate the matter, but he remarked that if he had been the one to misrepresent his employment at McDonald’s, it would have been prominently featured on the front page of the New York Times.

“If I said I worked at McDonald’s and it turned out not to be true, this would be front page of that stupid New York Times,” he said. “They would have me front page for months.”
