ELECTION INTERFERENCE: Senator @JDVance was denied service and threatened with arrest at @primantibros, owned by Garnett Station Partners, a New York-based private equity firm handling over $2.3 billion under Partner Jordan Garay's leadership. Primanti Bros. operates 44 locations across Pennsylvania—restaurants you might want to avoid from now on.

Vance was there to meet Anissa Zappala and other supporters, but Primanti Bros. threatened to call the police if he entered. Ever the statesman, Vance picked up the tab, tipped the staff, and reminded them there would be no taxes on tips under a Trump administration.

Earlier this week, a similar case of political bias unfolded when Airbnb evicted election workers from a Pennsylvania property upon learning they were Republicans.

If businesses want to discriminate based on politics, they should be required to advertise that policy clearly online and at their doorsteps.

Kamala HQ Account Tries to Troll Vance Over Restaurant Fiasco, It Does Not Go Well

I wanted to update you on some of the furor over JD Vance initially being denied entry into Primanti Brothers restaurant in North Versailles, PA. 

As we noted, multiple videos went viral on Saturday of people posting saying Vance had been denied entry.

His supporters had been there already in the restaurant and had ordered food. They then canceled their orders and left to meet and greet with Vance in the parking lot.

Primanti basically admits Vance was denied entry initially but blames it on a mistake by their people onsite. They posted this on X but shut off comments in reply. Then they said he was welcomed into the restaurant after the initial denial.

Republican Allegheny County Councilman Sam DeMarco disputes this account. He also appeared to dispute that the visit was "without notice." 

While Senator Vance was extremely gracious today about being denied entry to Primanti’s today, this statement is NOT accurate. Senator Vance was denied entry and he and his team were NOT welcomed into the restaurant after the initial “confusion.” Perhaps Primanti’s isn’t being told the truth by their Manager who threatened to call the police if he entered. Senator Vance spoke with and took photos with patrons outside in the parking lot but there were no interactions inside other than him going in to pay for everyone’s food. I wouldn’t otherwise comment further on this but the false statement requires correcting it. I was told staff had contacted the restaurant prior and as a matter of fact, a sandwich was ordered for the Senator which was sitting at a seat for him just prior to the motorcades arrival.

They already had all the supporters inside, so it wasn't like Vance was entering with all the supporters, even if it had been a "surprise" -- which DeMarco disputes. 

While the restaurant thinks they settled it because Vance was gracious, they should apologize and invite him back publicly. 

Meanwhile the Kamala HQ account posted about the visit of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to Primanti's Moon Township location in August, trying to troll Vance and be divisive. But as usual, they didn't have the sense to realize what they were doing wasn't a good idea. 

They were so intent on trolling Vance, they didn't get that they were suggesting that it was in fact political and throwing the restaurant under the bus. Plus, it was silly because it also brought back up the real story from that visit in August. 

It doesn't make Kamala look good, it makes her look petty and mean girl-ish. 

The Trump War Room rapid response account was right there to blow their game. 

These weren't regular diners. As we reported back then, the real regular diners were upset when they said they were made to leave just before Kamala Harris, Tim Walz and their whole entourage descended upon the restaurant. 

What the video above and the news reports didn't say was that the people besides campaign staff, press and restaurant workers were invited guests/Kamala supporters and volunteers. 

The media showed pictures of Harris smiling and greeting people, with them being very receptive to her as you can see above. The media described the people variously as "diners," "voters," or "customers." 

What they didn't say was that they were invited supporters.

Johnny Haught: ‘I Was Just Trying to Step Up and Squash Bullying’

It’s been about three or four times a day over the past 12 days or so that his phone has rung with the caller ID listing only as “Private Number.” And Johnny Haught has answered his phone anyway and he’s talked with the callers, too. He’s heard the hate because the Wheeling business owner offered to be a guard during a drag show that was canceled a month ago because of threats. And yes, he’s told those men too, well, to put it politely, pound salt for criticizing him for offering to work security at the Primanti Bros. at The Highlands. While explaining those experiences during an interview Thursday afternoon on River Talk 100.1/100.9 FM, Haught answered the anonymous call live on the airwaves. “And there’s another call,” Haught said. “Another private number. I’m going to answer it right now. “Hello.” Jesus is going to send you to Hell … “That sounds amazing. I can’t wait to talk about that on the radio right now. Do you want to be on the radio?” (inaudible) “What’s your name? Dave. “Dave? Dave from? Weirton? Dave from Weirton. You should tune into the radio right now. … OK, I guess he hung up.” Haught paused. “Well, there ya go. Jesus is going to come down on me because of what I’m doing. That’s what the man said,” he told the radio audience. “Now, I am not a religious person, but I was brought up in a religious family and I have learned the teachings of Jesus. “And I’m fairly certain the people who are bringing that (hate) to me do not follow Jesus’s teachings,” Haught insisted. “We just have to remember that this is just a few people who seem to be the loudest because the rest of us are just trying to live our lives and be happy. But they have to spew all kinds of hate and I know that’s not included in Jesus’s teachings.” Johnny and his wife, Sydney, made a recent trip to Green Bay for a Packers game. Hateful Phone Calls End with a Click It was February 3 when S&S Productions posted the following on the company’s Facebook page: *UPDATE CANCELLED*We were so incredibly excited to bring you a fabulous brunch to Wheeling WV. Unfortunately due to the amount of threats towards Primantis, the entertainers, & sometimes even patrons, we've decided for the safety of everyone involved to cancel the event. We couldn’t wait to party with you all, support the local lgbtqia+ community, and show that a little glitter never hurt anyone. We hope in the near future we can try to bring another brunch to the area - we were only 2 tables away from a fabulous sold out event so we know y’all want us there!  It was February 10 when Haught took to Facebook himself and posted the following: I volunteer me and a couple of my fighters to work security if Primanti Bros. decides to reschedule their drag brunch. I'm sure we can make sure the event stays safe.....#primantibros #dragbrunch #lgbtqcommunity #saysomething It appeared between one update about sparring at his Market Plaza gym and another that proclaimed he’s married his best friend. But on the next day, other Facebook members approved of his post so much they began sharing it. “I meant it when I posted it because I know I could ask some of my guys to help me stand guard so the event could go on as planned, and that didn’t mean we wanted to come to start fights. That’s not what we do,” Haught said. “All I wanted to do was to be there in case someone else wanted to start something because they were against the event taking place. “All it was supposed to be was a show, a production, and people had a lot of issues with that, but that same company (S&S Productions) is a busy organization because they have shows everywhere,” he said. “But not here, and now I know why.” The “Drag Brunch” was scheduled for Sunday, February 26th at Noon. Performer Luna Skye and Indi Skies were featured on the promotional poster, and tickets could be purchased online. At the time the company owners canceled the event, it was announced that only two tables remained unsold. “When I made the post, it was a real offer, and then when it got some attention, I thought we might be able to stir some things up here locally, but this whole situation went viral and here we are. I’ve been contacted by media from here and the UK, and it’s been a little overwhelming,” Haught said. “Once the attention reached a regional level, WTRF did a story on the web only, and little did we know that the web story turned into this. “There’s been a lot of attention from the media and it’s been a crazy experience,” he said. “But that’s told me that there’s far more positives in the world than negatives and that people are more like-minded about those things than maybe I thought. That’s been a very good thing.” When Haught wishes to be heard, and takes to online platforms and, in this case, the local airwaves. The Frightened Freak Out Haught likes stunts. Especially when it comes to raising funds for non-profits. For example, he ran a 5K race in 2019 backward to benefit the United Way of the Upper Ohio Valley. “Yeah, I do. I like to make things interesting, and I like the camera, there’s no lying about that,” he said with a broad smile. “But I don’t think I’ll run a race backward again. Believe it or not, my neck was the sorest thing on my body after that because all I did the whole time was look back so I didn’t run into anything. “I didn’t count on that,” he said. “That hurt the worst.” Haught also is a former professional boxer who was known as the “Hyperactive Hillbilly” during his career. “I’m only 42 years old so it’s weird for me to say that I am retired at anything,” he said smiling. “But I am a retired boxer and I teach now, and my guys did great during the (recent) Toughman competition.” Those are the men who, in fact, would have stood guard with Haught at Primanti’s last Sunday afternoon. Instead, he’ll continue answering his phone and hearing the hate and shaking his head and waving his fists in the air at a frustrating fight for fairness. “But at least 98 percent of this has been extremely positive and the folks involved with the canceled show have been super thankful,” he said. “And hey, we’re talking about a group of folks who have been persecuted and bullied and run into the ground and all I am experiencing a small amount of the that they face every day. “And it’s worth it because I’m just one of the majority of people who feel the same way I do about it,” Haught said matter-of-factly. “The people who are making the threats, well, they’re only a few people who have sad lives. And listen, I’m not trying to argue with people. When I posted that, I was just trying to step up and squash bullying I saw happening so people could just go on with their lives. No one is trying to hurt anyone, but there is this malice, and there’s just no reason for it.” Read the full article
