Customers at a Pennsylvania restaurant claim they were kicked out before the arrival of Vice President Kamala Harris on the campaign trail.
In a video posted on X, supporters of former President Donald Trump were seen with signs and banners as Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, rolled into town.
But one of the locals was heard saying that customers at the Primanti Bros. restaurant were “kicked” out so that “paid actors” could be installed in the eatery for a photo op with the Democrats.
“Customers at Primanti Bros restaurant in PA were kicked out to make way for paid actors during a Kamala Harris photo op,” the popular I Meme Therefore I Am account on X posted on Monday. “There is no organic support, everything is staged and paid for by the Harris-Walz.” campaign.

“Everything about the Harris campaign is fake,” former investment banker John LeFevre wrote on X. “Prior to her stop at Primanti’s (the PA sandwich chain), every single customer was kicked out and replaced with actors.”
“It’s all fake and staged,” posted Catturd.
News footage from WFAA showed the press being directed into the restaurant and many customers seated at tables as Harris talked with some. The vice president and Walz were joined by their spouses, Doug Emhoff and Gwen Walz who could also be seen in video footage from inside the eatery.
Though details were not confirmed about the claim that “paid actors” were installed after local customers got the boot, social media users reacted to the video clip with anger.
Yup. I believe it.
They are paying influencers, actors, journalists, and pollsters

They can’t control what ppl may say or ask her. She isn’t here to let ordinary ppl meet, understand and hear her. It’s all about marketing and perception. The problem is… cell phones.

Gotta love how they’re all about “the people” and then just kick everyone out like they’re a bunch of serfs.

I hope the locals remember they got kicked to the curb for a photo op.
