It’s worse than this. They’re saying because it wasn’t on her resume (curriculum vitae) 20 years later when she was going for another job, possibly a law job, that it means she was lying.

These dumb fucks don’t realise that CVs are for listing relevant work to the role you’re applying for. When I was applying to become a software developer I too didn’t list McD on my CV because that’s fucking dumb.

Exactly this. When I created my very first CV - at the guidance of people from uni - I listed NO experience rather than listing irrelevant jobs when going for my first work study type of jobs. The people that believe this about Harris are just showing how little they know of the professional world.

Trump is exceptionally unequipped for this because the presidency is the only job Trump ever "applied" for in his life and when we fired him he organized a violent coup, including a gallows for Vice President Michael Pencil. He might really believe resumes contain all of someone's job history, or he may be throwing ketchup at the wall again.

Weirdly enough, at 47, I no longer list the dish washing job I had at Ponderosa Steakhouse when I was 16 on my resume.

And I'm not even an attorney.

Not 20 years later, but at all. At least that I'd their claim and I haven't seen it debunked do far.

I'll reluctantly link a right wing article that at least tries to come across not overly sensational:

The Free Beacon also obtained a copy of Harris’s October 1987 job application for a law clerk position in the Alameda County district attorney’s office. On that form, Harris, who was in law school at the time, listed several jobs—including a month-long clerical job at a stock brokerage—in a section that asked her to list every position she held in the last 10 years. McDonald’s is absent.

Harris lists three jobs on the application and five in total on an attached résumé, according to the documents, obtained through a public records request. Harris, who submitted the application as a second-year student at then-University of California, Hastings College of the Law, included granular life experience on her résumé—"extensive travel in India, Africa, [and] Europe" and "lived in Montreal, Canada for six years"—but not McDonald’s.

They've got photos of the resume and all.

The three jobs listed on there are somewhat relevant to the law clerk role she was applying for, so I can see why McD wouldn’t be on there.

Surely, Harris should just release her tax information from that time that show she was paid by McD.
