Just two days after Donald Trump staged a campaign event by working a shift at a McDonald’s franchise, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a warning about McDonald’s.
“This is a fast-moving outbreak investigation. Most sick people are reporting eating Quarter Pounder hamburgers from McDonald’s and investigators are working quickly to confirm which food ingredient is contaminated. McDonald’s has pulled ingredients for these burgers, and they won’t be available for sale in some states,” the CDC said in a statement.
The burger chain had received enormous publicity following Trump’s visit, in which he scooped up servings of French fries and greeted customers at the drive-through window, while wearing his classic red tie and a McDonald’s apron.
Immediately, the CDC attacked McDonald’s.
“CDC, FDA, USDA FSIS, and public health officials in multiple states are investigating an outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 infections. Most people in this outbreak are reporting eating the Quarter Pounder hamburger at McDonald’s before becoming sick. It is not yet known which specific food ingredient is contaminated,” the CDC said at its website.
“McDonald’s is collaborating with investigation partners to determine what food ingredient in Quarter Pounders is making people sick. McDonald’s stopped using fresh slivered onions and quarter pound beef patties in several states while the investigation is ongoing to identify the ingredient causing illness,” the federal agency said.
Also on Tuesday, President Joe Biden surprised the political world when Trump must be thrown in prison.
“If I said this five years ago, you’d lock me up: ‘We gotta lock him up,’” Biden, 81, said a Democratic campaign event in Concord, New Hampshire.
The audience in the room applauded for several seconds before Biden evidently tried to put the toothpaste back in the tube: “Politically, lock him up — lock him out, that’s what we’ve got to do.”
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris took the day off of campaigning to prepare for a pre-recorded interview with NBC, to which Trump labeled her as lazy, since there are just 14 days left to go in the general election. The mainstream media then attacked Trump for using what it said was a “racist trope.”
By racist, the Los Angeles Times and other news outlets mean that blacks are sometimes labeled as lazy. But in this case, Harris is not remotely black, so it’s unclear what trope the news agencies are referring to.
