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 restaurant was reportedly full of customers waiting to greet Vance, who canceled their food orders after learning he wasn’t welcome.

      How are they picking restaurants where they’re not absolutely certain they’ll be welcomed?

      I didn’t propose to my (now) wife until I already knew what the answer would be. These chucklefucks are out here not even doing the bare minimum due diligence. Just showing up and hoping for the best.

        The restaurant is getting review-bombed by pissy Republicans who are mad a business didn’t want to be associated with rapists and misogynists.

          Sounds like free advertising to me! For the low price of a couple of cancelled orders, you’ve just generated the most amazing set of review-reply opportunities imaginable

        First thing I ever learned about lawering, and IANAL, is, “Never ask a question you don’t already know the answer to.”

        Seems the campaign isn’t as competent as I was as a child. In the 70s.

          Yeah, but they don’t know how to feel embarrassed. Calling ahead makes it obvious they’re not wanted, which is a hell of a hit to their pride. Doing shit this way hurts their pride less because they can make up whatever excuses they want to justify why they get a cold reception, being told not to come is so much worse because it’s clear that they are unwanted and unwelcome.
