I want to update you on the controversy surrounding JD Vance’s initial refusal to enter Primanti Brothers in North Versailles.

We noted that on Saturday, several videos were posted by people claiming Vance was denied entry.

They had already ordered food in the restaurant. The supporters then canceled their orders and met Vance in the parking lot.

Primanti basically admits Vance was denied entry initially but blames it on a mistake by their people onsite. They posted this on X but shut off comments in reply. Then they said he was welcomed into the restaurant after the initial denial.

Sam DeMarco, a Republican Allegheny County Councilman, disputes this report. He also seemed to dispute the claim that this visit was “without prior notice.”

This statement is not accurate. Senator Vance expressed his gratitude for being denied entry into Primanti’s. After the initial confusion, Senator Vance and his team were not welcomed in the restaurant. Perhaps Primanti’s Manager isn’t telling the truth when he threatened to call the cops if he went inside. Senator Vance took pictures and spoke to customers outside the restaurant in the parking area, but no interaction occurred inside. He only went in to pay everyone’s bill. The false statement is what I would like to correct. The staff told me that they had called the restaurant in advance and the Senator was given a sandwich at the table reserved for him before the arrival of the motorcade.

DeMarco argues that they already had all their supporters in the building, so even if the “surprise”, as Vance claims, was a surprise, it wasn’t a Vance entering the stadium with them.

The restaurant should publicly apologize for settling the dispute because Vance was gracious.

The KamalaHQ account also posted about Kamala Harris’s and Tim Walz’s visit to Primanti Moon Township in August. They were trying to troll Vance and create division. As usual, the Kamala HQ account didn’t realize that what they were doing was not a good thing.

They were so focused on teasing Vance that they did not realize that they were actually suggesting that the issue was political and that the restaurant should be thrown under the bus. It was also silly because it brought up the true story of that August visit.

It makes Kamala appear petty, and a mean girl.

The Trump War Room Rapid Response account was there to blow their games.

These were not regular diners. We reported that the regular diners who were unhappy were those who were forced to leave the restaurant just before Tim Walz, Kamala, and their entourage arrived.

The video and news reports did not mention that all the people in the restaurant and campaign office were guests/Kamala volunteers and supporters.

As you can see, the media published pictures of Harris greeting and smiling at people. They were very receptive towards her. The media described people as “voters,” “customers,” or “diners.”

They didn’t mention that they had been invited as supporters.
