  1. >JD Vance suffered yet another embarrassing set back on the campaign trail, after being denied entry to a restaurant where he was supposed to speak – and being forced to address supporters in the parking lot instead.

    >According to reports, after showing up to Primanti Bros in North Versailles, Pennsylvania, a restaurant worker told the press that cameras were not allowed and that they did not want a “campaign event.”

    >The latest food-shop-related gaffe led to many online questioning those that make advance arrangements for the Republican vice presidential nominee, with one X user claiming he “ has the worst advance team in modern election history.”

    So much fail. My god what a jackass.

    “You may lie and tell people we serve up cats or dogs, and we can’t have that” the employee was quoted as saying. s

    I wouldn’t be surprised if his team doesn’t actually have any experience or actual know-how when it comes to campaigning.

    Keep in mind, this is the party that wants to replace 50 000 government staffers with MAGA loyalists/christian sycophants… it would be a disaster.

  4. Not competent enough to hire staff to properly arrange a visit at a restaurant.

    Not competent enough to be vice president.

    Was looking for this. I love when people give this weirdo the cold shoulder. Go back to your couch, Vance. It’s lonely.

    We are going to be traveling through the area next month. We are now going to stop there as they must be a quality business. Just worried for them as this mafia group will have the health department open an investigation.

  7. “You can’t have cameras here.”

    “Okay good.”

    “…that means you need to leave.”

    “Okay good.”

    “….like…right now. Please vacate the premises.”

    “Okay good.”

    “Are you listening to me?”

    “Whatever makes sense.”

  8. As a native yinzer, Vance being barred from a Primanti’s because the manager doesn’t want trouble only makes him kinda relatable I fear.

    I can’t plan a restaurant photo op, but please believe me when I say I and my emotional support orange are well qualified to run the country!

    This is almost as good as setting up a press conference at the Four Seasons.

  10. It’s also hilarious because he was welcome, they didn’t want a campaign event with photographers and stuff. But he couldn’t handle that. Which is weird, if I were him I’d stop trying to be in the media. 

  11. Of course, they are already review-bombing the chain in general and that location specifically on Yelp and Google. Fucking MAGAt snowflakes.

  12. He thought he could show up at any restaurant unannounced and expect to be treated like a king.

    The definition of entitlement.

  13. I would just like to give a personal thanks to the management that denied him entry.
    You give me faith to finally return. It’s been a while since I’ve had a good sandwich anyways.
