In what can only be described as the ultimate sandwich scandal of the century, Primanti Bros.

the beloved Pittsburgh-based eatery known for its famous fries-on-everything sandwiches, has found itself facing an unprecedented boycott that has resulted in a staggering $50million in losses.

To make matters worse, 10 of its major sponsors have pulled out, leaving the once-iconic restaurant chain scrambling for damage control.

What could cause such a beloved local favorite to become a national target?Well, it all started with J.D. Vance-a political figure who, until recently, по опе expected would be part of a story involving pastrami, coleslaw, and political fallout.Now, Primanti Bros. finds itself at the center of a national storm, with the situation spiraling out of control faster than anyone could have imagined.

It all began on what seemed like an ordinary day in North Versailles, Pennsylvania, where J.D. Vance, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, tried to make a casual stop at a local Primanti Bros. restaurant.According to several reports, Vance had planned to shake a few hands, eat a sandwich, and maybe tip the hardworking staff.Simple, right?

A manager at the restaurant reportedly told Vance and his team that this was “not a campaign stop” and that he was “not allowed” to enter the establishment.To add insult to injury, the manager allegedly threatened to call the police if Vance tried to walk through the doors.This might have been a small misunderstanding in any other situation, but this was J.D. Vance-running for the second-highest office in the country.The incident was caught on video and immediately went viral.

The response was swift and brutal.Vance supporters, angered by what they saw as blatant political discrimination, took to social media to express their outrage.Within hours, #Boycott PrimantiBros was trending, with calls for customers to avoid the sandwich chain like it was serving up a side of political bias with every meal.

What started as a local dispute quickly snowballed into a full-fledged boycott, with Vance’s supporters calling for the restaurant’s patrons to stand up against what they viewed as corporate bias.Soon, it wasn’t just about the incident at North Versailles-Primanti Bros. found itself accused of political favoritism after it was revealed that Vice President Kamala Harris had visited the very same location just a few weeks earlier.And unlike Vance, she was greeted with open arms, handshakes, and photo ops.
