“This is just another example of how the left’s woke agenda is infiltrating every aspect of our lives,” Vance said in a statement following the incident. “First, they try to shut down free speech, and now they won’t even let me enjoy a sandwich. It’s outrageous.”
Voight, ever the outspoken critic of “cancel culture,” backed up Vance, adding that Primanti Bros.’ treatment of the senator was yet another sign that the restaurant had succumbed to the pressures of political correctness.
“If they’re banning J.D. Vance from grabbing a sandwich, what’s next?” Voight asked rhetorically. “Are they going to kick out anyone who doesn’t agree with their woke policies? This is what’s wrong with America today. We’ve lost the ability to disagree and still enjoy a good meal together.”
While Voight and Vance continued to speak out against the restaurant, Primanti Bros. tried to remain diplomatic in its response. In a public statement, the chain expressed disappointment that Voight had turned down the deal but reiterated its commitment to inclusivity.
“We’ve always prided ourselves on being a welcoming place for all members of our community,” the statement read. “While we regret that Mr. Voight has chosen not to partner with us, we respect his decision and wish him all the best. As for Senator Vance, we welcome all patrons, regardless of their political affiliation. However, there were logistical concerns on the day of his visit that led to some confusion.”
The statement concluded with a reminder that Primanti Bros. has been serving the people of Pittsburgh for nearly a century and that they would continue to do so with or without celebrity endorsements. “Our doors are open to everyone, and we’ll keep doing what we do best—serving up delicious sandwiches and supporting our community.”
