UPDATE: Primanti Brothers Restaurant Issues a Statement

Yesterday we brought you this report:

BOYCOTT? Popular Pennsylvania Restaurant Reportedly REFUSES ENTRY to JD Vance!

I'll repost it below in case you missed it.

Now today we have an update from the restaurant itself, attempting to explain away the issue and perhaps get back in the good graces of their MAGA customers?

Will it work?

Let's take a look:

TRANSCRIPT:

Primanti Bros. Restaurant & Bar

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. Senator Vance’s supportive comments that our manager got a little nervous given the Secret Service, police, and crowd accurately reflect the nature of what occurred, and we are glad that it was resolved quickly.

Catturd does not seem impressed:

LOL - People inside were actually filming what happened. Nice try with the backtracking after the backlash. Nobody is buying it. pic.twitter.com/PA7nTxh7PU

What do you think?

You saw the videos....do you think their statement is accurate?

Would you go there for dinner?

In case you missed it, here was our original report:

BOYCOTT? Popular Pennsylvania Restaurant Reportedly REFUSES ENTRY to JD Vance!

VP nominee JD Vance got a brief taste of rejection when Primanti Brothers staff.

You see, they were caught off guard by when the Secret Service started to pour in.

So, they initially turned him away.

After the confusion, Vance was let in to meet supporters and paid for their meals.

Vance then went on to say no hard feelings for them, and that we should continue to support them.

They are a small business, after all and part of the community.

Though there's many online that don't share that sentiment, even calling for a boycott.

Well this is interesting.

Kamala Harris and her crew showed up and the same restaurant kicked everyone out to make room for her.

From @badlibtakes
"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 Primanti Bros provided the stage.

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.”
