Patrons at a Pittsburgh culinary landmark were outraged Monday after they claimed they were forced to leave the premises before Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz arrived for a weekend campaign stop.
Several people who had been enjoying food, drinks and the Pittsburgh Pirates game on TV at Primanti Bros. in Moon, Pennsylvania, on Sunday said they were all forced out of the restaurant promptly at 4 p.m.
Video shared by Republican Committee of Allegheny County chairman Sam DeMarco III showed a Harris-Walz campaign bus and several white vans showing up soon after.
Protesters shouted, “They kicked us out of Primanti Brothers” and “You are terrible people” as the entourage arrived.

The Harris/Waltz campaign kicked out patrons at @primantibros at 4PM to bring in staged “customers” for Kamala’s visit tonight. Trump supporters gathered next door to properly welcome their fake campaign to Allegheny County!
Years ago went there and ordered bacon cheese fries. They had the fucking audacity to serve fries with imitation bacon bits. Like the kind you get at a buffet with a salad bar. They became dead to me that day.
This is the shit thats going to kill her campaign. She is so disingenuous and inauthentic that she risks developing the same perception voters had of hillary. Seriously, how fucking hard is it to just grab a bite to eat with regular people?
Their sandwiches are underwhelming to say the least. Been to the location in the Strip District once. They opened up a spot in Hershey, PA a few years back with an expanded menu. It’s more of a drinking spot for college age kids now.
If it happens enough, and is covered enough, it will have an impact; this coupled with her inability to be upfront and consistent about her policies will do her in
Whether these stories are consistently covered enough to have an impact is a completly different story
PA is a blue state now. It doesn’t matter if the whole state outside of Philly votes for Trump, they’ll find enough votes in Philadelphia to turn it for Kamala. People used to call it the corruption factor and put Philly’s ability to swing an election at about 3 to 3.5%. Now it’s anything goes, they’ll do a 20% swing if they have to.
most of those “meeting normal people at the diner” photoshoots are all staged, for the Democrats, specifically
when they showed Biden visit that Waffle House after getting demolished and embarrassed by himself at the debate, all those patrons were staged / actors / extras
