Supporters of GOP vice-presidential candidate JD Vance claim he was told to leave a Primanti Brothers in North Versailles over the weekend, but the company says that is not entirely true. Washington County Republican Party chair Sean Logue told KDKA-TV the manager of the eatery informed him and other people who were waiting to meet the senator on Saturday that Vance would not be permitted to make a stop there. She also told members of his campaign that she would call the police if Vance came inside, according to Logue. A Primanti Brothers spokesperson says the staff was confused about the surprise visit at first, but the candidate was eventually invited to come in and speak with patrons. Vance himself addressed the incident in an online video, saying the manager was just nervous because of all the people who were there, and that should not be held against her or the business.
