A post shared on social media purports that Primanti Bros. restaurant fired the manager who refused to service Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance.

Verdict: False

The claim is stems from a satirical website.

Fact Check:

Former President Donald Trump responded to the new case filed by special counsel Jack Smith, NBC News reported. Trump claimed this move is election interference, saying it is “weaponization of government,” however a judge, not Smith, chose to make the case public, according to the outlet.

A post shared on Facebook alleges that the manager of the establishment was fired after Vance was refused service. The post shared the claim with an image of white text on a purple background.

The post reads, “The Primanti Brothers has FIRED the manager who refused service to JD Vance!”

The claim is inaccurate. The claim stems from a satire social media account called America’s Last Line of Defense.

The account’s bio self identifies as parody, “The flagship of the ALLOD network of trollery. Nothing on this page is real.”

CBS News reported that the restaurant denied claims that Vance was banned. Rather, he was not allowed to campaign in the restaurant but could sit and order food. A post on social media shows a video of Vance responding to the interaction saying don’t hold it against the manager and that it is a great local business.   (Fact Check: No, Trump Did Not Suggest ‘The Purge’)
