Customers at a Pennsylvania restaurant claim they were kicked out before Vice President Kamala Harris arrived on the campaign trail.

In a video posted on X, supporters of former President Donald Trump were seen holding signs and banners as Harris and his running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, entered the city.

But one of the locals was heard saying that the customers of the restaurant Primanti Bros. they were “kicked out” so they could set up “paid actors” in the restaurant for a photo op with the Democrats.

“Customers at Primanti Bros restaurant in PA were kicked out for giving way to paid actors during a Kamala Harris photo shoot,” the popular account I Meme, so I'm in X. published on Monday “There is no organic support, everything is organized and paid for by Harris-Walz.” campaign

“Everything about the Harris campaign is bogus,” former investment banker John LeFevre wrote to X. “Prior to his stop at Primanti's (the sandwich chain in PA), every customer was kicked out and replaced by actors”.

“It's all fake and staged,” Catturd posted.

WFAA news footage showed press heading into the restaurant and many patrons sitting at tables as Harris spoke to some. The vice president and Walz were joined by their spouses, Doug Emhoff and Gwen Walz, who were also seen on video footage from inside the restaurant.

While details about the claim that “paid actors” were installed after local customers obtained the boot were not confirmed, social media users reacted to the video clip with anger.

They cannot control what the person may say or ask. It is not here to be known, understood and heard by ordinary people. It's all about marketing and perception. The problem is… cell phones.

Gotta love how they talk about “the people” and then dismiss everyone like they're a bunch of serfs.
