The Primanti Brothers restaurant chain is apparently owned and operated by hardcore left-wing activists.
About a month ago, it was reported in the Daily Mail the restaurant chain kicked out all of the regular dining patrons so they could stage actors as a campaign event for Kamals Harris in the Pittsburgh area.
The Harris campaign bussed in the press pool and a group of campaign supporters, essentially actors, to stage a photo shoot meet and greet and manufacture the appearance of support for Kamals Harris.
The August event was presented as “ordinary diners,” but was in fact a group of Harris campaign workers. Essentially this was typical astroturf sold as organic or authentic campaigning; it wasn’t. Everything around Kamala Harris is fake, manufactured and astroturf performance.
Staff at the restaurant told patrons they would have to leave at 4:00pm due to a ‘private event’ which turned out to be a campaign stop for Kamala Harris.
♦ In a remarkable contrast, today the same restaurant chain blocked republican VP nominee JD Vance from entering the building and campaigning.
A video taken by a diner within Primanti Brothers was posted on Twitter and quickly went viral. Apparently, most of the people inside the establishment immediately cancelled their orders as soon as they realized what was happening,
The barred JD Vance was undeterred and remained outside the building to thank people as they left. The video shows JD Vance telling those who were outraged that he paid for cancelled meals, left a tip and reminded the operator of the restaurant of the “no tax on tips” pledge from the campaign.

Hahaha. I fell for that the first time I went there, at the original location down in the Strip district. They didn’t give me an Iron City for free though.
Never cared much for their food. Sandwiches are too dry, but the prices were always pretty good. Sorry to hear this, I probably frequent Primanti Bros’ at least 2-4 times a year. No more.
One of my favorite Primanti Bros’ trivia questions: Who is at the center of the mural painted on the wall of the original location? The mural consists of famous Pittsburgh athletes and people. Who is the largest figure in the center of the mural? Answer: Bruno Sammartino.
That’s a really smart business move. I would bet money that the restaurant goes out of business in a year. I wouldn’t give them one cent of my money. It’s bad enough they ran a fake Harris event but throwing Vance out shows what kind of people they are. That restaurant must have a staff full of illegals.
A business model lesson on how to cut your customer base in half.
Primanti Brothers restaurant need to hear from the maga right voters I guess
They look gross. Just sloth and gluttony on bread.
The number of people that said it was filthy and the staff is hostile will not be good for business.
Being from NY, where a Big Mac costs over $20, what would you know about a good sandwich?
I may disagree with Primanti's politics, but their food is outstanding.
I will withhold judgment until I know if this is a company policy or a one off local manager that is a demonRAT.
How did a newyork guy sneak into PA to get a chance to eat a Primanti Bros sandwich?
Go woke, reap the whirlwind.
Primanti Brothers is dead to me… but truthfully I never liked what they call a sandwich anyway. This is typical Pennsylvania urban political style in Allegheny County and Philly.
The statement that was released to the public was a blatant lie. Yes, Vance was let in only to pay the bills and then told to leave.
It is all on video from the actual customers.
They all aren’t lying.
You can say that a PB sandwich has too many ingredients, slaw, fries etc. but NO FLAVOR, you must have been still in college and were stoned.
You may not like a sandwich that is too thick to handle, but to call a PB sandwich, like eating sand...NFW.
Which sandwich did you order? Do you remember?
When the Pgh City Police arrested you, what was your blood alcohol level or your drug level?
I'll buy the fact that you didn't finish it, it's hard to eat after you do a drunk puke on the bar.
Put them out of business.
a bit more info and a poll to freep (do you think a call for a boycott is fair or unfair):
“In one video, a woman said that a manager had told the senator and his team that they would ‘call the police if [Vance] comes out [of his car].’”
Agree but some sources are saying it was the decision of the manager.
A female apparently , Michelle Emert, can’t find her pic.
He also told folks to go back and eat there.
Smart move. How to outclass the other side. He felt the
lady manager was intimidated by it all, and he felt sorry
for her.
I would think the other action in favor of Harris/Walz would
have been pretty trying too.
