Republican North Carolina Congressman and McDonald’s franchisee Chuck Edwards, whose district was utterly devastated late last month by Hurricane Helene and as many as 200 of his constituents dead, took time from a press conference in the disaster zone to mention that he gave convicted felon former President Trump – who is not currently an elected official and thus has no reason to be present at a press conference on the marshaling of public resources to the response effort in the region – a french fry cook certification pin, which Trump displayed proudly to reporters gathered to hear how long it will take to restore electricity and running water to people’s homes in the area.
It’s not clear when Edwards gave Trump the pin, but it would not be surprising in the least if it was just minutes before Trump posted a “complete and total endorsement” of the congressman, whom he already endorsed earlier this year. One wonders what shape Edwards’ McDonald’s franchise(s) are in and how his workers are doing now… And what lengths he went through to get the pin.
The fat bastard also claimed the rigged betting markets are a real poll, implied FEMA workers deserve to be threatened with death by armed MAGA conspiracy freaks, and then falsely claimed the agency is spending money on migrants so they’ll vote against him in the election.
