Vice President Kamala Harris like to say so donald trump In this only for ourselves, not for the American people. Well, this weekend we saw, in a perfect example of psychological projection, Harris put a small business at risk for her own perceived political gain.
GOP vice presidential nominee on Saturday JD Vance Tried to enter Pittsburgh’s famous Primanti Brothers sandwich shop, but was denied entry. This greatly frustrated the waiting voters, some of whom angrily recorded the incidents on their phones.
Anger on the right was running high, boycott threats were rife, and Vance had reason to be a little angry.
But Trump’s running mate graciously forgave the insult while greeting fans in the parking lot, paying for the crowd’s meal with a generous tip. The store released a statement saying they were welcome and that their employee was surprised by the camera.

As the Bard once said, all’s well that ends well, until Kamala Harris gets involved, and that much is clear.
On Sunday, Harris’ campaign posted a video on Twitter welcoming Harris as a hero to the Primanti brothers in August. The message was as clear as it was ugly – unlike Republicans, Democrats are welcome in polite society.
Let’s put aside the fact that Harris’s appearance at the Steel City staple this summer was widely mocked when it was revealed that her campaign had snuck out actual diners and set up a scene of fraud. The supporters were sent in the bus. This is bad enough.
But what Harris has done here isn’t just a House fraud at a political event. She is causing real harm to Primanti Brothers. Try to control this situation and make it clear that everyone from every political class is welcome there.
That’s what Vance was trying to say when he said of the manager after she was denied entry, “Don’t hold it against her, she was just a little nervous, but it’s a great local business.”
This is the best way to handle such a thing. This is what generations of Americans have expected from our leaders.
The Primanti Brothers confirmed that this is what happened and that was indeed the end of it. But no, Kamala Harris, not the ‘I’ girl around whom all things should revolve.
It did not matter to Harris that the case was settled, that calls to boycott the restaurant were waning, or that people were ready to move on to more serious matters.

No, the Vice President of the United States had to toss a football onto the Ax during his AstroTurf event at the Smooth Spoon, even if it meant hurting business. You see, Harris winning is more important than any individual small business.
And it was done in such a disgusting manner. Does Harris really want to separate all of our businesses from consumer politics? how horrible.
It reminded me of a conversation I recently had with a woman in San Francisco. She was a lifelong resident who had followed the rise of Harris.
He told me, “She doesn’t seem to believe in a lot of things, and she’s not very good at it.”

This echoes similar voices in Pennsylvania who told me they “just don’t know who she is,” or, more commonly, “I think she’d say anything to get elected.”
Harris continues to insist that she is a candidate who is selflessly running for the American people, while Trump only cares about Trump, but when has Harris ever done anything selflessly, or on public funds? No?
When in her career has she stepped back for the welfare of people?
She certainly isn’t doing this by adding to the controversy and misery surrounding the Primanti Brothers, who want nothing more than to end this entire saga.

The cruel fact is that Harris and her campaign’s sole moral guide is set squarely on the North Star of victory, not helping real people, even if they think they might eventually get to that point.
Meanwhile, like the participants on the bus to her event at the Primanti Brothers, we are all just extras in Kamala’s excellent adventure.
