JD Vance Makes a Stop at Pat's King of Steaks
Parodying John Kerry's 2004 Faux Pas
South Philadelphia Cheesesteak Incident Sparks Comparisons
During a recent rally in South Philadelphia, Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance made a stop at the iconic Pat's King of Steaks.
Vance's visit to the famous cheesesteak establishment drew attention to a moment that some saw as a humorous reference to a notorious incident from the 2004 presidential election.
During a campaign stop in Philadelphia, Democratic candidate John Kerry was criticized for his awkward attempt to order a cheesesteak, pronouncing it "chee-z-whiz" instead of the local pronunciation of "whiz-wit."
- Vance appeared to be intentionally referencing Kerry's misstep, asking for his cheesesteak "with Cheez Whiz."
- The incident sparked comparisons between the two candidates.
- Some commentators saw Vance's actions as a clever political move, while others questioned his authenticity.
Regardless of the intent behind Vance's visit, the incident highlighted the importance of local culture and the potential for political blunders when candidates are unfamiliar with regional customs.
