Googling this, it seems like he's trying to EMPHASIZE Harris working there when she was younger. If he actually does this, it will backfire spectacularly.

If he says she's lying about working there, it just looks like an insane conspiracy theory because it's one of the most common jobs. It's not like an impossible thing.

If he tries to say it's easy so no one should be impressed with her, he just insults every fast food worker in America.

I think this is a really smart move if he never mentions Harris, it makes him look more down to Earth and humble which...he needs. If he's doing it as a commentary on Harris, it's going to backfire.

If him standing up physically mocking and verbally mocking a disabled veteran didn't backfire, I'm past the point of thinking anything he does at all will alienate a single member of his base.

I can't imagine what possible reason someone would have to lie about working at McDonald's. I really can't.

Maybe she really worked at Carl's Jr.

Best case scenario this is going to be "Vance ordering donuts" levels of kind of sad. It's the easiest job in the restaurant, and he'll do it kind of shitty for 10 minutes while people around him are putting in, transferring, and bagging fries. Then he'll pretend he was a big help.

I can't imagine he'd care about insulting every fast food work in the country, and all of his voters love to pick on them so I don't see how that would even hurt him.
