Asked by the Daily Beast why the Trump campaign is still so obssesed with “Stolen McValor,” angry, large-headed spokesman Steven Cheung responded in an email asking “Why won’t [Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign] just provide real documentation and proof [that she worked at an Alameda, California McDonald’s in 1983]? The onus is on them. What does she have to hide?”
We love the Daily Beast, but it’s hard not to notice the quality going downhill since their ownership did a mass buyout of all their top talent like Jake Lahut, Jose Pagliery, Justin Baragona, Emily Shugerman, and other sharp-witted pros. It most certainly shows in this piece, which says “Trump’s attacks on Harris’ Mickey D’s bonafides presented a similar quandary” to the Obama birth certificate scam, “and one that should be addressed. While the Harris campaign may not have wanted to gratify the attack by trying to disprove it, the [former Obama] strategist said, ‘This seems to be an easier biographical question to answer than anything else.'” Jesus freaking Christ.
The Beast is actually dignifying this horseshit, writing this as if everyone’s supposed to keep a fucking “long-form” paystub from a goddamned McDonald’s in case they run for president four decades later. What is this shit?!? Did the New York Times secretly brainwash this reporter?
