Has CBS News’ Selina Wang been following this election because it’s clear she hasn’t. If she did, she’d know that Donald Trump first pitched the ‘no tax on tips’ policy, which Kamala Harris stole at her Nevada rally over the weekend. Wang described the Trump response as an “accusation;” lady, it’s a fact. In June, the Culinary Workers Union endorsed Trump’s idea:
