{A photograph} authentically exhibits a younger Kamala Harris sporting a McDonald’s uniform.
In late October 2024, with the Nov. 5 election looming, a photograph started making the social media rounds purporting to doc a younger Kamala Harris, the U.S. vice chairman and Democratic candidate for president, sporting a McDonald’s uniform.

The photograph grabbed the web’s consideration because of an ongoing partisan dispute over the veracity of Harris’ repeated declare that she labored in a McDonald’s restaurant when she was a scholar. Whereas there was no compelling motive to suppose she lied about it, a lack of corroborating evidence inspired her Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump, and his supporters to claim Harris made up her story about working at McDonald’s.
The sudden look of the {photograph} was too serendipitous to be coincidental, in fact. It was faux, a composite was created by digitally enhancing an current snapshot to interchange the unique topic’s face with that of Harris (or somebody resembling Harris).
We positioned the unique, unmanipulated photograph through a reverse image search on TinEye:

The unique picture appeared on a web site devoted to a household’s personal photos. The identify of the younger girl within the pic was Suzanne Bernier. In line with the caption, she was a shift supervisor at McDonald’s. And though there was no date listed, the snapshot seems to have been taken within the early Eighties.
