MSNBC Host, Dem Rep. Barbara Lee Slam Trump for McDonald’s Visit: ‘No Logic to It’
by Elizabeth Weibel
MSNBC host Alex Witt and Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) criticized former President Donald Trump for his visit to a Philadelphia-area McDonald’s where he served customers, stating that there was “no logic to it.”
“He has gone to a McDonald’s,” Witt said. “He’s going to this McDonald’s, and he’s in the Philadelphia area. He’s going to work a fryer, apparently, before he goes to the Steelers versus Jets game. If you’re on his campaign, and I know you are certainly not, I’m not making any implication of that. But, what is the logic behind this — going to a McDonald’s?”
Witt added that Trump likes “Big Mac and Filet-o-Fish” from McDonald’s and continued to question what Trump’s visit to McDonald’s was “about.”
“There’s no logic to it,” Lee responded:
It’s a stunt. He has not put forth an economic agenda. He, as you know, appears to be not well. And, he’s engaged in some really bizarre types of activities during this campaign. So, this is just another one of those stunts that he will continue on through the campaign, and I think we really need to really focus on making sure that he is not elected of course.
On Sunday afternoon, Trump visited a McDonald’s in Philadelphia where he learned how to make french fries, handed out orders, and spoke to customers in the drive-thru.
