- The New York Times published a controversial fact-check on Kamala Harris’s claim of working at McDonald’s.
- The fact-check relied heavily on Harris’s close friend Wanda Kagan, without disclosing that Kagan is a political supporter and surrogate for Harris.
- Critics argue the Times failed to provide sufficient evidence and improperly framed Trump’s questioning of Harris’s work history.
Quotes:
- “The entire claim that Trump is lying comes down to ‘the Harris campaign and a friend told us.’”
- “This is journalistic malpractice.”
- “Kagan is a full-throated Harris supporter.”
The ENTIRETY of the evidence the New York Times has to prove Kamala Harris worked at McDonalds is below. The campaign had no proof.
