Kamala Harris was offered an opportunity to finally work at a McDonald's restaurant but never responded to the invite, a statement circulating on social media indicates.

A franchisee on X posted what they describe as "an internal statement to the McDonald’s system from the US Senior Leadership Team" regarding Donald Trump's visit to a McDonald’s in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

They describe the memo as "100% real." //

"Earlier today, former President Trump visited a McDonald's restaurant in Pennsylvania following a request made to our local franchisee," it reads. "As we've seen, our brand has been a fixture of conversation this election cycle. While we've not sought this, it's a testament to how much McDonald's resonates with so many Americans."

"McDonald's does not endorse candidates for elected office and that remains true in this race for the next President. We are not red or blue - we are golden." //

"Upon learning of the former President's request, we approached it through the lens of one of our core values: we open our doors to everyone," the company writes.

"It's with that same approach that franchisees have invited Vice President Harris and Governor Walz to their restaurants, in order to share how McDonald's provides meaningful pathways to economic opportunity and feeds and fosters local communities."

Speaking to a source familiar with the internal statement, they confirmed that the Harris campaign failed to respond to the invite. //

How hard would it have been to accept the invite and, based on your alleged experience having worked there, run circles around Trump? Wonder why she wouldn't jump at the chance. If she held a similar event, legacy media outlets left and right would have fawned over it. It would have disarmed Trump's line of attack. She could have even argued he was lying, not her.

But she didn't.
