(DailyChive.com) – Minnesota Governor Tim Walz stirred controversy on Monday by making surprising claims about Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump’s recent visit to a McDonald’s. Walz suggested that “She actually worked in a McDonald’s,” and criticized Trump for what he saw as a disrespectful stunt when the former president served customers at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s over the weekend.
“She didn’t go there to pander and disrespect workers by standing in a red tie and taking pictures like Trump did.”
Walz went further, arguing that Trump’s policies hurt working-class people, including those employed at fast-food chains. He pointed to issues like health care, housing, and the rising cost of living, saying these were areas where Trump’s policies made life harder for ordinary workers. “These are the people he claims to support, but his actions show otherwise,” Walz insisted.
However, Walz’s comments quickly raised questions. A report from the Washington Free Beacon found no evidence that Harris ever worked at McDonald’s, despite her recent remarks about fond memories at the restaurant. Trump didn’t waste any time responding to the situation.
During his visit to McDonald’s, Trump poked fun at Harris, saying, “I’ve worked 15 minutes more at McDonald’s than Kamala ever did.” He used the moment to draw attention to what many believe are Harris’ questionable claims about her past.
In a statement sent to franchise owners, McDonald’s appeared to praise Harris for her “memories under the Arches,” while also admitting that they do not have complete employment records going back to the early 1980s. This only added to the confusion surrounding her claim.
Walz wrapped up his interview with a parting shot, accusing Trump’s economic policies of being inflationary. “Every economist agrees,” Walz said, though many argue that the current inflation crisis falls more on the shoulders of the Biden-Harris administration.
With accusations and fact-checking flying, both sides continue to trade jabs—leaving the public to decide who’s telling the truth in this latest political showdown.
