Well this is interesting.

Primanti goes on record to say that Vance wasn’t banned from coming in.

Yahoo News reports:

Videos of Republican Vice President Nominee JD Vance seemingly being turned away from a local Primanti Brothers are growing popular on social media but the business said the candidate was welcome just like any of their other customers.

Primanti Brothers said there was a bit of confusion. The restaurant was given no notice of Vance’s visit. The manager became alarmed after the Secret Service and a large police presence suddenly arrived at the restaurant.

The issue was resolved and Vance was able to enter the business to meet with supporters shortly after.

A spokesperson from Primanti Brothers said:

“Primanti’s prides itself on being a staple of the Pittsburgh community and a proud American business that has hosted sitting presidents, politicians, and political candidates from across the spectrum for over 90 years. Our doors are open to all patrons who wish to dine with us. Without any advance notice, today’s campaign stop caused some momentary confusion for our staff. However, Senator Vance and his team were welcomed into our restaurant shortly after and engaged with our guests inside and on the property.”
