Lefty influencer Billie Nelson, duped by fake McDonald’s image of Kamala, taunts Trump
A left-leaning influencer who fell for and shared a phony image of Kamala Harris in a McDonald’s uniform is now calling out Donald Trump and his supporters for sharing altered images of the former president.
Influencer Billie Nelson took to X to call out “fragile” MAGA supporters for continuing to share Photoshopped images of Trump after she shared — and deleted — a doctored image of Harris donning a McDonald’s uniform and wrote “McF–k you @realDonaldTrump.
“I said something that was false, apologized, took it down. This motherf—er couldn’t tell the truth if he f—ing tried,” Nelson said in the clip showing a photoshopped image Trump shared depicting himself as a football player on the Steelers.
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 faked image of Kamala Harris in a McDonald’s uniform to bolster the unsubstantiated claim that she worked at one in Alameda, Calif.,” The Post Millennial journalist Andy Ngo wrote on X.
Social-media users had superimposed Harris’ face on a Canadian woman named Suzanne Bernier, who died from cancer in 2007, according to Ngo and an archival website.
Former West Virginia State Delegate Derrick Evans shared the image of Harris alongside the original picture, writing, “Not only did they fake the photo…. They had to put her on a white girl.”
The Photoshopped image emerged after Trump accused Harris of lying about having worked at McDonald’s during the summer of 1983 while she was on break from pursuing an undergraduate degree at Howard University.
The fast-food chain has said it is unable to verify Harris’ employment, writing on X, “While we and our franchisees don’t have records for all positions dating back to the early ’80s, what makes ‘1 in 8’ so powerful is the shared experience so many Americans have had.”
The “1 in 8” is a reference to an oft-cited statistic indicating that one out of every eight Americans has at one point worked at a McDonald’s.
McDonald’s noted in the statement that it was “proud to hear former President Trump’s love for” its products as well as Harris’ “fond memories working under the Arches.”
