Donald Trump’s Sunday visit to a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania continues to cause hurt feelings and fauxrage among the Usual Suspects, some of who have even gone so far as to try and cancel the Feasterville-Trevose location he traveled to, all for the crime of giving the green light for the GOP presidential nominee to work the fry station and greet drive-thru customers.
The point behind Trump’s visit, of course, was two-fold: 1) It was in a critically important “purple” county in the presidential race (Bucks County), and 2) it spotlighted Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ unverified claim of having once supposedly worked at a McDonald’s.

It was those two things that Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, undoubtedly had in mind when he made the following remarks during a Monday appearance on “The View”:
“Vice President Harris and I grew up middle class, we understand that. She actually worked at a McDonald’s. She didn’t go and pander and disrespect McDonald’s workers by standing there in your red tie and take a picture. His policies are the ones that undermine those very workers that were in that McDonald’s.”

While Walz provided no evidence for his claims, what came to mind to some folks who watched the interview was what some restaurants looked like in Tim Walz’s Minnesota during the George Floyd riots.
This is one that’s making the rounds. Tweet also references a quote from Gov. Walz’s wife, Gwen, who infamously said in an interview in the aftermath of rioters turning entire city blocks in Minneapolis look like a war-torn third-world country that she kept her windows open to smell the burning tires:

Just for the record, I couldn’t find any evidence of any McDonalds locations burning to the ground during the looting and rioting, though some were in fact boarded up as a precautionary measure.
Still, it doesn’t negative the very powerful point.
There is plenty of evidence of restaurants (and other stores, for that matter) being burned to the ground during Walz’s failed “leadership” amid the 2020 Antifa/Black Lives Matter-led chaos:

Relatedly, here’s a flashback to remarks Walz made to union members in August. Little did he know what was to come:
“Can you simply picture Donald Trump working at a McDonald’s, trying to make a McFlurry or something? He couldn’t run that damn McFlurry machine if it cost him anything.”

I’m fairly sure that the people who lived and worked at those Minneapolis locations and the others that were literally torched by the very rioters that Kamala Harris wanted bailed out of jail would have preferred Trump working their drive-thrus to having their neighborhoods and livelihoods burned to the ground, but maybe that’s just me.
