JD Vance's Swiss Cheese Query at Philly Cheesesteak Shop Stirs Reactions

The Republican VP nominee's comments at Pat's King of Steaks recall John Kerry's 2004 campaign misstep.

  • Vance asked why Swiss cheese isn't used at the iconic Pat's King of Steaks.
  • The question echoed John Kerry's infamous 2004 cheesesteak order with Swiss cheese.
  • Pat's employees clarified they don't hate Swiss cheese; it's simply not a tradition.
  • Democratic Rep. Brendan Boyle humorously labeled Vance's question a 'crime against humanity.'
  • Despite the gaffe, Vance ordered a traditional 'whiz wit' and interacted positively with staff.
