Donald Trump’s running mate Sen. JD Vance suffered another embarrassing fail on the campaign trail Saturday after he was denied entry at a restaurant in Pennsylvania forcing the Republican vice presidential nominee to greet supporters in the parking lot.
According to NBC News, when Vance showed up at the Primanti Bros in North Versailles, Pennsylvania, employees told him that cameras were not allowed inside and they did not want to host a “campaign event.”
Supporters of Vance who reportedly came early to to greet the Ohio lawmaker when he arrived canceled their orders and left the restaurant when they learned that he was not being allowed entry.
Video shows Vance greeting his supporters in the restaurant’s parking lot and encouraging them not to hold a grudge against the business.
We paid for everyone’s food, we gave them a nice tip, and of course when I gave a nice tip I said ‘no taxes on tip,” Vance said.
“Don’t hold it against [the restaurant worker] it’s a great local business, let’s keep on supporting it,” he added.
This is Vance’s second embarrassing campaign fail in Pennsylvania in as many weeks.
Just last week, Vance was ridiculed after blatantly lying about the price of eggs during his visit to a supermarket in Reading, Pennsylvania.
“Eggs, when Kamala Harris took office, were short of $1.50 a dozen. Now a dozen eggs will cost you around $4,” Vance said.
“Thanks to Kamala Harris’s inflationary policies, Pennsylvania actually has seen some of the worst grocery price increases of the entire nation, and again, it’s because she cast a deciding what vote on the inflation explosion act,” he added.
However, the price tag behind Vance listed the eggs for $2.99, contradicting his claim that a dozen eggs cost $4.
