(Chuck Muth) – Yesterday, Donald Trump – a marketing ninja and PR impresario – worked the frier and manned the drive-thru window at a Pennsylvania McDonalds.
Kamp Kamala referred to it as a “stunt,” but it was covered extensively by both traditional media and social media – all of which was FREE media.
Trump was a hit, and the “stunt” was a huge success. Now let’s look at how the Associated Press covered it…
“The visit came as (Trump) tried to counter Democratic nominee Kamala Harris’ accounts on the campaign of working at the fast-food chain while in college, an experience that Trump has claimed – without offering evidence – never happened.”
Hmmm…
And what evidence has Harris provided that she DID work there?
None.
But you wouldn’t know that from the AP story. “Fact-checking” a claim seems to only apply to Trump, not Kamala.
As Marc Thiessen noted on Twitter yesterday…
“McDonald’s has no record of her working there. The (New York) Times found no one who worked with her or employed her. It’s the only blue-collar job she claims to have had. She does not mention the job in an early resume at the time. She does not mention it in her memo. No friends (save one) remember her saying she did.”
Indeed, McDonalds itself issued a statement after Trump’s shift at the drive-thru confirming that its franchisees “don’t have records for all positions dating back to the early 80s.”
So there’s far more “evidence” that Kammy made up the story than there is that Trump is lying about Harris lying. But you wouldn’t know that from the AP story or any other story by the left-wing media.
Which is why far more people are getting their news these days from Twitter/X than from the traditional propaganda media. No wonder they hate Elon Musk.
