JD Vance Forced to Greet Supporters In A Parking Lot After Restaurant Denies Him Entry

JD Vance was forced to address supporters in a parking lot after a Pennsylvania restaurant denied him entry because they did not want to host a “ campaign event .”

According to NBC News reporter Gary Grumbach , supporters of Vance came early to Primanti Bros. in North Versailles, Pennsylvania, to greet the Ohio lawmaker when he arrived. However, employees with the restaurant told reporters that cameras would not be allowed in and they did not want to host the event.

After barring Vance from the venue, customers canceled their food orders after learning he was not welcome. Video from outside the restaurant shows Vance welcoming his supporters and encouraging not to hold a grudge against the business and the employees.

“We paid for everybody’s food. We gave him a nice tip. And of course, when I gave him a nice tip, I said, ‘No taxes on tips,'” Vance told his supporters.

He added, “Don’t hold it against her. She just got a little nervous. But it’s a great local business. Let’s keep on supporting it.”
