Left-wing influencer fooled by fake image of Kamala Harris in McDonald's uniform is now taunting Trump with altered shot
A left-leaning influencer who shared a fake photo of Kamala Harris in a McDonald's uniform is now calling out Donald Trump and his supporters for sharing altered photos of the former president.
Influencer Billy Nelson took to X to call out “fragile” MAGA supporters for continuing to share photoshopped photos of Trump after sharing — and deleting — a doctored photo of Harris in a McDonald's uniform, writing “McF–k you @realDonaldTrump.
“I said something that was false, apologized, took it down. This mother couldn't tell the truth if she tried,” Nelson said in the clip, showing a photoshopped photo Trump shared of himself as a Steelers football player.
The altered image of Harris quickly went viral before fact-checkers stepped in to correct the case.
“Liberals on social media are sharing a viral fake photo of Kamala Harris in a McDonald's uniform to bolster unsubstantiated claims she worked at one in Alameda, California,” Post Millennial reporter Andy Ngo wrote in X .
Social-media users superimposed Harris's face on Suzanne Bernier, a Canadian woman who died of cancer in 2007, according to the NGO and an archival website.
Former West Virginia state delegate Derrick Evans shared the photo of Harris alongside the original, writing, “Not only did they fake the photo… they had to put her on a white girl.”
The photoshopped image surfaced after Trump accused Harris of lying about working at McDonald's in the summer of 1983 while he was on hiatus from Howard University pursuing a graduate degree.
The fast-food chain said it was unable to verify Harris' employment, writing in X, “While we and our franchisees do not have records of all positions dating back to the early '80s, making '1 in 8' a shared experience of many Americans. powerful.”
“1 in 8” is a reference to an oft-cited statistic indicating that one out of every eight Americans has worked at McDonald's.
McDonald's noted in the statement that it was “proud to hear about former President Trump's love of products” as well as Harris' “fond memories of working under Arches.”
