JD Vance suffered yet another embarrassing set back on the campaign trail, after being denied entry to a restaurant where he was supposed to speak – and being forced to address supporters in the parking lot instead.

According to reports, after showing up to Primanti Bros in North Versailles, Pennsylvania, a restaurant worker told the press that cameras were not allowed and that they did not want a “campaign event.”

The restaurant was reportedly full of customers waiting to greet Vance, who canceled their food orders after learning he wasn’t welcome.

    The restaurant is getting review-bombed by pissy Republicans who are mad a business didn’t want to be associated with rapists and misogynists.

      Yeah. The original Primanti Brothers in the city is a tiny hole-in-the-wall diner-like place. The other ones, like the one Vance went to, are a lot different and generally low-key. Kind of like Applebee’s with way different food. Plus, there are a good amount of people in the Pittsburgh area that would just stop eating/drinking there if they’d have allowed this to happen.

      The review bombing is bullshit because contrary to popular belief, everything you read on the internet is not true.

      Sounds like free advertising to me! For the low price of a couple of cancelled orders, you’ve just generated the most amazing set of review-reply opportunities imaginable
