He said this when asked whether he thinks she worked at McDonald's

“I know she didn’t. We checked it out,” the former president said. “They said she never worked here. She even picked the store. We went to the manager. The manager’s been there forever. ‘You remember her. No, she never worked here.’”

This is fucking hilarious. Harris is 60 this month. She says she worked there as an undergrad so let's be generous and say 21. That means that it was 38-39 years ago. So the manager must be at least mid 60s. Which I just kinda doubt. Seems crazy that a manager of McDonald's from the mid 80s is still working at the exact same McDonald's as the manager. And if they are the exact same manager, there has probably been hundreds of people who have worked there in the last 40 years, I doubt they remember any of them.

Edit:not teens, during undergraduate, numbers updated

I don't know why anyone should give a fuck even if Harris lied about working at McDonald's. If she lied, the lie is so soft it neither compares against the worst things she's done nor does it register against Donald's absolute tsunami of falsehoods.

Well yea, we know he lied, why don't his voters care? I would care if someone lied so brazenly to me all the time.
