Kamala’s Stolen Working-Class Valor; What Say You, Ladies Of "The View"?

  Issues & Insights (issuesinsights.com) 

So, we are left with a question: If Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are so willing to lie about their past to win votes, why should anyone believe anything else that comes out of their mouths? 

The Cagle Post

 "Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has been found guilty of puffing up his military record to look more manly – also known as stolen valor. Now it looks as though Kamala Harris has committed her own version of stolen valor by claiming a working-class medal that she may never have earned.

"Harris and her campaign have been bragging about her modest roots and her supposed connection to working-class folks, exemplified by her having toiled at McDonald’s while in college, a claim she repeatedly makes in her speeches and that came up countless times at the Democratic National Convention.

"But, like so many things about Harris and Walz, this story started to fall apart on closer inspection.

"Earlier in the month, Harris’ campaign said that “Vice President Harris is the daughter of a working mother and worked at a McDonald’s to put herself through college.” An ad produced by a pro-Harris PAC said she’d “worked her way through school at McDonald’s.”  

"That’s fishy enough. Even if Harris worked full-time all summer every summer at McDonald’s, she’d have earned only a fraction of Howard University’s tuition and fees. (The line about Harris’ “working mother” is also a stretch. Her mom was an eminent cancer researcher, and her dad was a tenured Stanford economist.)

"In any event, Harris couldn’t keep up this particular fabrication, and later in August at a campaign event said only that she’d “worked at McDonald’s to earn spending money.” Still later in the month, the New York Times said she’d worked at a McDonald’s in Alameda, California, “for a summer” while going to college in Washington, D.C.

" 'Suddenly, Kamala’s working-class roots don’t look so working-class anymore." . . .

"But it’s worse than that. It’s doubtful that Harris ever worked at McDonald’s at all.

"When the leftist “fact-checking” site Snopes looked into it, it couldn’t find a shred of evidence to support her boast." . . .
