Why does/do Trump and the Republicans have some weird fetishization and obsession with whether Kamala Harris worked at freaking McDonald’s? What an unbelievably bizarre insecurity.
 
Fair enough. I’m more concerned about the chances my kid comes home from school today with boobs and with his penis lopped off, but I guess it’s all a matter of personal priorities.
Look on the bright side. You aren't having to explain to him why immigrants are eating his pets!
 
Then I amend that to say the odds they made any effort whatsoever to determine whether Kamala worked for McD or for a franchisee before declaratively stating she did not are virtually nil.
My hunch is that they had some low-level campaign worker call McD's corporate office and ask if they could verify that Kamala actually worked there. As has been noted, since she worked there in the 1980s and almost certainly at a franchisee, there's essentially no way corporate would have those records. McD's either said that they aren't allowed to verify that or that they didn't have that info and the Trump campaign is spinning "we have no answer to provide" as "she didn't work there" so they can create a cheap attack.

What gets me is that folks who work these kinds of retail/service jobs aren't pissed about Trump making a big deal out of it and "working" at a McD's for an hour or so. I know a lot of folks who work retail/service jobs and they share that the real problem of these jobs are that they grind you down and that the pay is never enough. Trump wouldn't learn about that by taking a short shift at the fryer nor handing food out the window to a few people. If I were a regular McD's worker, I'd be pissed that Trump wants to make my job a punch line for his campaign.
 
I did not now that the transgender affirming care in prisons was a Trump administration policy...
