From Fox News: Vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance missed out on a Pittsburgh culinary landmark after he was apparently kicked out from meeting with supporters inside — despite the same restaurant chain allowing the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz campaign to meet its supporters there.
A source familiar with the campaign told Fox News Digital that when the vice presidential campaign stopped by Primanti Bros. Restaurant and Bar in North Versailles, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, their planned visit to excited supporters was cut short when they were promptly kicked out by employees. The source noted that Primanti Bros. management was aware that the Trump-Vance campaign was planning on stopping by.
An employee told the campaign that this was “not a campaign stop” and that “JD’s not allowed in,” the source said, adding that the manager threatened to call the police if they didn’t leave.
Trump-Vance supporters shot back, booing the employees as they were ushered to the exit, the source said.
In a video posted on social media, the furious Trump-Vance supporters are heard explaining that they all paid for their drinks and cancelled their food orders before they left.

Since the restaurant would not allow Vance inside the restaurant, he spoke to supporters outside, and graciously told them he had paid for all the food orders, including a tip, along with the message, “No tax on tips.”

But, quite the opposite happened when Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff visited a Primanti Bros. location in Moon Township, Pennsylvania on August 18. That restaurant kicked out all the local patrons and informed them the place was closing early for a ‘private event.’ After the locals were booted from the restaurant, several vans pulled up, all filled with people, who then went in to meet with Harris.
lol! For Kamala Harris’s visit to Primanti’s this afternoon they kicked out all the customers at 4pm so they could bring in their own audience. 🤦♂️ look at all the white vans. Keep that in mind as you see video of them interacting inside. 🤣 Kudos to the Trump supporters who… pic.twitter.com/8Q4pKEpUNv
