Minnesota Governor Tim Walz claimed on Monday that Vice President Kamala Harris worked at McDonald’s and that former President Donald Trump “disrespect[ed]” McDonald’s workers by showing up at a restaurant over the weekend and serving customers.
Walz made the remarks during an interview on ABC News’ “The View” after Trump stopped at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania to serve food to supporters.
“She actually worked in a McDonald’s,” Walz claimed without evidence. “She didn’t go and pander and disrespect McDonald’s workers by standing there in your red tie and take a picture.”
“His policies are the ones that undermine those very workers that were in that McDonald’s, whether it’s home ownership, health care, reproductive rights or cost of products,” he claimed.
Walz’s claims come after a report from the Free Beacon found no evidence that Harris ever worked at McDonald’s despite her recent claims that she did.

Trump’s appearance at his favorite fast food restaurant was intended to draw attention to Harris’ disputed claims.
“I’ve now worked 15 minutes more than Kamala [at McDonald’s],” Trump said. “She never worked here.”
The company said in an internal message on Sunday to U.S. franchise owners that they were proud of Harris’ “fond memories working under the Arches” while seemingly acknowledging that the company does not have a record of her employment since they “don’t have records for all positions dating back to the early ’80s.”
Walz concluded his remarks on the matter by falsely claiming that “every economist” says that Trump’s policies would “drive up inflation,” even though Harris is largely responsible for the inflation crisis that has plagued the U.S. under the Biden-Harris administration.
