It’s sucked. Didn’t understand the hype at all. Just straight garbage. https://t.co/6I6wKhBcc1
Good to know the food matches the attitudes of the staff.
We know a saloon that will welcome this “campaign event.” https://t.co/OEOrLmuCS2

J.D. Vance was a class act and paid for the drinks of all the supporters gathered and waiting for him. He also tipped well and reminded them 'no taxes on tips' is part of the Trump campaign platform.
JD Vance…stand-up man who handled a difficult situation very well.

Vance may have been gracious, but that doesn't mean the rest of Republicans have to be so generous of spirit.
🤬🤬Outrageous.

Would they have allowed Tim Walz to come in and meet supporters?

Not a good look for Primanti’s https://t.co/0l3Yi21k5M

It's a terrible look.
Vance showed a lot of class in how he handled this! https://t.co/T0hChfVX4X

You’re missing an even more egregious piece of the story, @CollinRugg….

Just last month @primantibros kicked everyone out of their establishment so Kamala Harris could bring in actors and pretend she was organically visiting with supporters. A total facade to fool everyone, and… pic.twitter.com/VCuZItQSqT
Apparently, Primanti Bros. has no problem allowing SOME elected officials to hold campaign events.
Ohh yeah….i was waiting for this establishment to bring out some BS line about just too many people there and safety hazards and other garbage…but this seals the deal…definite political motivation.

Clearly, it was politically motivated. Republican patrons now know the score.
Update ... The restaurant has responded:
