From Fox News: Patrons at a Pittsburgh culinary landmark were outraged Monday after they claimed they were forced to leave the premises before Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz arrived for a weekend campaign stop.
Several people who had been enjoying food, drinks and the Pittsburgh Pirates game on TV at Primanti Bros. in Moon, Pennsylvania, on Sunday said they were all forced out of the restaurant promptly at 4 p.m.
Mark Dodson of Collier, who said he was just in the area to enjoy “the Bucs” – as the Pirates are nicknamed – simply wanted a quiet day.
“I wanted to watch some sports and enjoy an afternoon lunch,” said Dodson, as Primanti is known for its signature Pittsburgh-style sandwiches piled high with sliced meats and french fries – a Steel City custom.
“Around 3:30, the bartender, she goes, ‘It’s last call’ – what do you mean last call?” Dodson said, adding the employee informed him there was a private event at the top of the hour.
“They shut down the TVs… so you couldn’t watch the game. I said, this is BS – this is a public restaurant. It was kind of mind-boggling to me,” Dodson declared.
Republican Committee of Allegheny County chairman Sam DeMarco III posted a video showing man Trump supporters holding up signs and yelling in protest as a long line of white vans pulled up.
“Holy hell, all these actors in these vans,” one man yells.
“They kicked us out so they could get their paid actors inside,” another man declares.

Another video shows the pro-Trump protesters booing and yelling, “Trump! Trump! Trump” as Kamala Harris’s campaign bus drives by.
The Harris/Waltz campaign kicked out patrons at @primantibros at 4PM to bring in staged “customers” for Kamala’s visit tonight. Trump supporters gathered next door to properly welcome their fake campaign to Allegheny County! @TrumpWarRoom pic.twitter.com/ohWj6kMJ8h
