In this episode of the Keystone Reckoning Podcast, we dive headfirst into J.D. Vance’s campaign disaster at Primanti Brothers in Pittsburgh. Vance's failure to essentially call ahead for reservations turned into a full-blown MAGA meltdown, as Vance and his crew manufactured fake outrage to rile up their base. We break down how Vance’s poorly planned, unannounced visit didn’t just disrupt the restaurant, but also turned Primanti Brothers into the latest pawn in the GOP’s culture war, leaving them to handle the backlash of a social media firestorm and targeted threats.

We contrast this fiasco with Kamala Harris’s smooth, pre-planned visit to the same restaurant chain, highlighting the stark difference between genuine outreach and cheap political theater. You’ll also get an insider’s look at the logistics behind political events and how missteps like Vance’s can create public relations nightmares for innocent businesses. Join us for a sharp, witty analysis of how Republicans like Vance use local institutions as props in their grievance politics, while Pittsburgh’s beloved Primanti Brothers is left picking up the pieces.
