1. LOL, that's really gotta be sticking in Vance's craw.

He gets denied, she gets the red carpet welcome.

[NonPC]

32. It Won't Stick Because He's Oblivious

He is hard-wired to not care.

"How are the steaks at our next hotel, and how long will it take to get there? Okay then, let's round up a couple of Bozos in the parking lot for some photos, and I'll say a few lines before we hit the road. Oh shit, that's Peter on my cell. Hope he's not pissed about something. Gotta take this."

[EYESORE 9001]

2. After seeing what a jerk he is around people, who could blame them?

Who wants a dorky weirdo harassing workers and customers alike?

[magicarpet]

3. If they don't have a Fascist Comb-burger meal..

..... on the menu they might not be an appropriate place for trDUMP or Vance.

[fierywoman]

4. This warms my heart. Thank you for posting.

[Prairie Gates]

5. oooof

JD Vance hasn't felt so dissed since the girl he asked to prom told him she'd be out of town that night (and then went with Trey Young instead).

[mercuryblues]

9. More like the sofa he asked to the prom

had to get steamed cleaned that night. Vance ended up taking a blow up mattress.

[AZ8theist]

34. I don't care who you are, that's funny right there!!!

[mercuryblues]

35. OMG

[WarGamer]

6. According to Primanti... Vance ws invited inside after a brief moment of confusion.

Not surprisingly, reports are fake.

14. Gee I wonder why The Couch lover hasn't released any videos of being inside

Could there be some nefarious reason for not releasing the video/pics?

Were they not allowed to?

Were the guest reduced to running to the restrooms to puke? 🤮


So many questions!

[Generic Brad]

23. It's probably because of what he said inside

"What is that you're eating? A sandwich? Never had one of those before."

"You look like you've worked here a long time. Did you invent the bread?"

"I'm just a normal guy relating to normal people. Not being weird at all."

[mucholderthandirt]

36. If he's truly a hillbilly, he's had a sandwich. Probably a lot of them. He's just an idiot with no social skills.

[Think. Again.]

17. Then I wonder why vance said...

... that the trump team paid for all the customers orders after all the customers cancelled their orders...

"The restaurant was reportedly full of customers waiting to greet Vance, who canceled their food orders after learning he wasn’t welcome. Vance ended up glad-handing in the parking lot outside, according to NBC. “We paid for everyone’s food, we gave them a nice tip, and of course when I gave a nice tip I said ‘no taxes on tip,” Vance told those gathered. He added: “don’t hold it against [the restaurant worker] it’s a great local business, let’s keep on supporting it.”

18. I'm assuming they let him inside AFTER the stunt in the parking lot.

[Think. Again.]

21. But it seems he said he paid for the cancelled orders while he was still in the parking lot.

[markodochartaigh]

24. Watching yesterday's video

I got the impression that the Vance group paid for the drinks that had been served before the orders were cancelled. But Vance sure did make it sound like he had paid for whole meals.

[Think. Again.]

27. No, he actually said that, he said "we paid for everyone's food".

[SupportSanity]

7. That's alright. Primanti Bros probably would've had to sue Trump/Vance to get the bill paid anyway.

8. Boycott, bomb threats, doxxing by basement MAGA warriors in

5, 4, 3, …

[central scrutinizer]

11. Sad to say it's happening

10. Was that really today?

I didn't think Harris was anywhere near Pittsburgh today.

[MagickMuffin]

13. I think this happened earlier and KH HQs is trolling

But apparently the Couch team was invited in. Interesting no one has released the footage from inside the restaurant.


Hmmmm!

[Faux pas]

12. Look at all the

happy, shiny faces!

[Clouds Passing]

15. Kamala & Tim's trolling is epic!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

16. I need to try this place

[Ojerly]

19. What would have made it better

would have been if she got there while he was still begging for attention in the parking lot. This is close to the "Rudy by the dumpsters in a porn shop alley" debacle.

[ismnotwasm]

20. Holy shit that's awesome

[BoomaofBandM]

22. Very funny.

[relayerbob]

25. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Perfect!

[BrianTheEVGuy]

26. Good

I love seeing MAGA scum get treated the way they treat women, people of color, LGBT people and other marginalized groups.

I hope this trend continues and spreads. MAGAs should be outcasts, reviled, not welcome in public, scorned, and treated like the dog 💩 they are.

They demanded a climate where division and discrimination are legal rights. Let us hope that they’re divided from society and encounter nothing but endless discrimination and isolation until they’ve learned their lesson.

I’m feeling great schadenfreude in watching their smug entitlement get thrown back in their faces.

[Vinca]

28. Now that's funny.

[haele]

29. The problem is Vance's campaign staff either hates him.

Or doesn't know how Campaigns stops work.
While a local handler might suggest the candidate drop in to someplace interesting and make small talk/get selfies while actually getting something that catches their eye, campaigns don't just "drop in and chat with the locals" with camera crews tagging along without getting permission from the manager. The local handler and staff asks first and clears it with the managers before they bring the crews in for the Q and A or stump speech.
The location is always vetted first. The staff should have a schedule that includes when a candidate might like a pit stop or nosh or quick stump speech, gets a list of locations in the area, and scout them out first, warning the owner or the manager Secret Service will be dropping by.

Because handlers and staff know how disruptive a visit would be to a business, and potentially embarrassing it is if the business wasn't favorably inclined to being a campaign or political stop, such as what happened with Vance's donut buy.

His staff must hate him. Because they seem to be dropping the ball a lot.

30. Those little maga heads are gong to explode

I read some maggot threw a bag in the door to threaten and scare the business because JD got his feelings hurt!

his first stop was scheduled to be Pennsylvania. When he confirmed that he'd be passing through Pittsburgh, Jon Stewart told him to be sure to visit Primantis. I tried to visit their Web site, but couldn't get in -- their server was stuck in a traffic jam!

33. The benefits of calling ahead!

[applegrove]

37. I think it was in August that Kamala and Walz went there. Part

38. Boom! I like these Pitman Bros & Crew!

[Intractable]

39. Sometimes, campaigning can be fun!

They are spreading joy.

[Devilsun]

40. My MAGA Buddy

Was really upset about the way Vance was treated by Primantis! 🤣🤣🤣

[niyad]

41. Ahough Primanti tldd what really happened, I would have been tempted

to refuse couchhumper and his entourage entrance and service based on health code violations. Isn't there something in the regs about about no toxic materials?

[appleannie1]

42. Having lived in PGH or near PGH, this does not surprise me.

For the most part, the people there are very friendly & except all religions and ethnicity. I love the city where I was born and raised. And I am proud of the fact that when the steel mills shut down and moved out. the people did not whine and boohoo, it took a while but they dug in and reinvented themselves. It is now a clean, beautiful city thriving with top grade restaurants, hotels, all kinds of music events, sports and tourism. It is known for it's medical research and technical centers today instead of steel.

[Liberal In Texas]

43. Let me guess. The magats have already called to boycott the restaurant.

Like they probably care.
