My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
That ridiculous scene was initiated by the Allentown Mayor. He should have known better than to put himself into such into such a potentially hot confrontation in full public view. Cameras, hidden microphones, are everywhere these days. There is no question the Mayor made a huge mistake here. I know he will regret this incident for years to come.
ReplyDeleteAs a Trump supporter (or should I have said cultist?) I was disappointed in the behavior of the TRUMP 47 worker. I’m sure he worked hard for a couple days setting that all up, was tired, and had a short fuse, but his verbal attack was way over the top and needs to be criticized, too. I couldn’t believe what I was watching.
I love how you are disappointed in the Trump 47 worker but you give Trump himself a pass for his daily verbal diarrhea of lies and offensive, sexist, racist, vulgar, incoherent rants. But it's like you said.... You're in a cult.
DeleteVery kind of you to say, 8:27 AM! Do you have any other wisdom left to share?
DeleteOMG PeeWee. Now I can’t unsee it
ReplyDeleteTuerk says that video was "disinformation". Any other spin on this is just not correct and I suppose the media is to blame for how he acted through it all??
ReplyDeleteAllentown mayor says viral video of disagreement with Trump staffer "misinterpreted".
That is why I voted for O'Connell
ReplyDeleteWhat a Tuerky.
ReplyDeleteGood one!
DeleteA friend sent me that clip. The dude was going off in Pee Wee lol. Pee Wee looked befuddled. I think this Pee Wee name is going to stick it fits him perfectly!
ReplyDeleteThat guy was a big dude. Little Pee Wee is lucky he didn’t drop him. He clearly was in no mood for petty bullshit like that. This is what’s wrong with our politics today. There are no adults in the room on either side.
ReplyDeletePerhaps the mayor was in the wrong, but the other guy’s profane hissy fit made a mayor I think a fool look and sound reasonable.
ReplyDeletePlease tell me this do nothing clown won’t be reelected .
ReplyDeletePee Wee Tuerk brought discredit to the City of Allentown, his office, and himself. Discredit to him is the least concern. However the person setting up the bicycle barriers was completely correct on Pee Wee showing up with his cameras trying to look like a big shot. Pee Wee Tuerk should have welcomed the attention the rally brought to Allentown. Heis an embarassment to Allentown.
ReplyDeleteI thought Tuerk missed a chance to put politics aside and be a good ambassador of the City. I supported him in the 2021 Democratic Primary, but I've been somewhat disappointed with his partisan demeanor, his sensitivity/thin skin and his blatant abuse of public entitlements (fancy car, junkets). That said, he's done less damage than other recent Democrat Mayors. If the Democrats run other qualified candidates in 2025, I could be on board for a new Mayor.
ReplyDeleteHe had the food truck cited because it was infringing on his kitten pitence from 7th's and reillyvilles vendors. Some of those places should have the orange tag unfit for human habitation let alone food sales.
ReplyDeleteOver 7 million views. Matt Twerp is a national celebrity ..... for being an asshole! It's delicious.
ReplyDeleteHe claimed he was never contacted about it or invited to any planning meetings, yet his own communications director posted that street closing to the news outlets over an hour before this recording began.
ReplyDeleteA true beta male in the wild...
ReplyDeleteAllentown wonders why its such a crap whole when only 10% show up to vote...
ReplyDelete12:35: A few points:
ReplyDelete1). No hidden cameras captured what happened. The Mayor was well aware of the camera (looking directly at it several times) and I believe the video was taken by someone from his camp.
2). I doubt Tuerk will regret this. He is another self-serving politician who is only interested about his own publicity. He cares little about the embarrassment he caused the city. I have relatives out of state who saw this (on their own) and called up laughing at me for living here. I can only imagine the impression it left on individuals and businesses thinking about visiting or relocating here.
3). I thought the worker (Blue 47) was very restrained. He was working in the dark in the middle of a roadway that had been closed off to traffic. The mayor opened the barriers and allowed traffic up into the area where the man was working. He could have been killed. I think Blue 47 would have been justified in pummeling the mayor for that alone.
4). It’s interesting that the mayor is willing to open a traffic barrier on a worker working in the dark, while acting upset when other pedestrians are hit by vehicles in the city. He could have gotten the worker killed, and the incident further exposed him for the phony that he is.
Tuerk is an embarrassment!
DeleteI was going to comment, but 12:35 already covered the points I hoped to make. The Trump 47 worker comes off as a disrespectful bully. Tuerk comes of as uninformed.

ReplyDeleteThe Blue 47 worker it's just your typical angry uneducated Trump supporter. I wonder what kind of work he does, if any, when it's not election season?
ReplyDeleteGosh, no broad brush, unsupported smears there!
DeleteTuerk is the biggest buffoon in the LV- what an embarrassment!
Delete9:01, He missed his calling. He should be a drill SGT, lol.

ReplyDeleteBetween Tuerk's nose & ears, Pee Wee was much better looking!
ReplyDeleteHow refreshing- you didn't bash Trump for the 1st time in years! BTW, Nate Hyman has to run in '25 to save Allentown- this guy is a clown!!
ReplyDeleteThis guy is another in a long list of our terrible politicians: Emrick, Wild, Boscola, Casey,etc.
ReplyDeleteThrowing everyone on a pile and saying they all suck is akin to throwing the baby out with the bath water.
DeleteUnless I am missing something, the Mayor is lying when he said he was only concerned that people could get to the voter registration office...the confrontation appears to have occurred when it was dark out, meaning it was past the 5 pm closing time of the office
ReplyDeleteThis post is about Allentown's Mayor and his bizarre antics on the night of Trump's rally there. Comments that stray from those topics will not be published.
ReplyDeleteYou’d be better off sticking to the topic as well … by not commenting on his appearance & focusing on his errors.
DeleteIs there a place that I can report a Bethlehem Twp commissioner out on $10,000 bail?
ReplyDeleteI would email the Board of Commissioners. Their contact information is on the website:
Deletehttps://www.bethlehemtownship.org/boc
Who and for what?
DeleteThis display will make excellent campaign material for the assured winner of Tuerk's next (and last) mayoral run. Do you think he showed which party is actually "garbage"?
ReplyDeleteYour topics suck fake blog
ReplyDeleteWhat a dickhead move by a partisan hack. He not only embarrassed himself, but the residents as well. Let freedom ring!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm a never trumper too but this is bush league BS.
I’m incredibly disappointed. Allentown is NOT doing well, and the Mayor pulls this? Horrible.
ReplyDeleteI know there are nay sayers, but Bethlehem is looking pretty good and Willie is doing at least a passable job. I know there are nay sayers, but Panto has Easton moving in the right direction. This guy? This is just bad for Allentown.
Easton is the only city with a competent Mayor.
DeletePeople hate at Bethlehems mayor because he’s a bit of an egotistical prick, but he’s doing a good job at least.
DeleteAllentown is just getting worse and worse and Pee Wee must makes things more embarrassing.
Maybe Tuerk should drive a Garbage truck when is term is over.
ReplyDeleteNo he needs to get back to his pencil wagon of his youth traveling in the circus carnival sideshows this like all local politician's excluding none.
DeleteWhere is RAY when we need him.
ReplyDeleteWhere is Nat when we need him?
DeleteYou're my boy Blue! This was a scumbag move from a weasel of a Mayor. I take it that is why he is in politics. Blue had every right to be upset, not only at the weasel for clearly lieing but also at the weasel for simply putting peoples lives in danger. I hope he does not treat his workers like this.
ReplyDeleteAnother reason to vote this idiot out in '25- what an embarrassment!
ReplyDeleteEvery time "Pee Wee" opens his mouth, he embarrasses himself.
ReplyDeletehttps://x.com/ScottPresler/status/1851977037185011888
ReplyDeletethe goof did look like Pee Wee that day, normally he looks exactly like Alfred E Nueman!
ReplyDeleteBoth are chuckleheads. Mayor Hipster and the Foul-Mouthed Minion should take their infantile act on the road. Two losers who would probably make a nice chunk of change.
ReplyDeleteBernie, You need to do a Foia on Pee Wee's coms and find out who he was conspiring with
ReplyDeleteThe biggest lie of the whole video is that Tuerk was somehow standing up for the voters who might be voting at the LC Government Center the next day.
ReplyDeleteOnly a total moron would think that the Secret Service would leave either 7th Street or Hamilton Street (adjacent to the arena) open on the day of the rally, something that surely was discussed with the city (and the Mayor) in advance. Thus there was no way that ANY private vehicle was making it to the Government Center for voting that day.
So the mayor is caught in another lie trying to excuse his behavior, and looks like an even bigger buffoon for thinking his residents would believe it.
I frickin love this. I’m all for any Trump organized event falling on its face, and “Jacket 47” making a mockery as the organizer is chefs kiss. I’m so glad it’s gonna be a blowout for Kamala.
ReplyDeleteI can’t wait to come back on this blog on Wednesday and hear all the same ole tired excuses of a stolen election. I can’t frickin wait Bernie!!! I love this for them.
Ooof… this comment hasn’t aged well. Ha!
DeleteWhy do all Allentown mayors make screwballs of themselves.
ReplyDeleteMore like Tuerkemada. "Let's face it, you can't Tuerkemada anything!"
ReplyDeleteLet's hear him sing: "The Inquisition, let's begin. The Inquisition, look out sin".
Bernie I'm surprised that you would feed into the insulting reference to Allentown Mayor Tuerk as Pee Wee Herman. I would think that you would be a voice of reason. Everyone has a right to their opinion and this election has been a particularly nasty endeavor for the electorate. Someone has to be the impartial moderator of his own blog.
ReplyDelete5:03 - If you look like Pee Wee Herman, dress like Pee Wee Herman, ride a bike around like Pee Wee Herman, and then act like a doofus like Pee Wee Herman, guess what?
DeleteYou’re going to be called Mayor Pee Wee.
He earned the name, and everyone should hum the song “Tequila” whenever he walks by.
100%!
DeleteReally he looked like a cross between little lord fontanlaroe and peewee with a pawlowskis mouth vying for a state seat!
ReplyDeleteWell the story made it to Fox news
ReplyDeleteMayor Tuerk apparently had the opportunity to graciously welcome thousands to Allentown for this event. These now national videos of him have brought Allentown into an entirely negative light. Sad.
ReplyDeletePee Wee wonders why he got a vote of "No Confidence" from city council. Hopefully the voters next year follow suit- this guy is a shit-show, in way over his head!
ReplyDeleteHermano Tuérk has latinidad deep in his heart, with his plans to bring Bogotas cyclovia to Allentown we will see throngs of bikes in a car free section of the city. The attacks on his debonair attire are petty and baseless, he is a man of action sneakers on ready to sprint into action at a moments notice.
ReplyDeleteCheap shot on your headline with peewee comment. It reminded me of trump's mockery. Offered no facts, just an opportunity for...nothing. You usually do better.
ReplyDeleteOh go find your safe space, snowflake.
DeleteTuerk is getting exactly what he deserves. Until now the Lehigh Valley has seen NAACP letters, lawsuits, and rumblings of corruption in city hall. This man is being exposed for exactly what he is….A FRAUD!
ReplyDeleteMany City employees are fearful to speak up about the inabilities of this mayor and ‘yes sir’ cabinet. The CED and Finance Directors are the worst the city has to offer but this dumbass will keep them over all because they execute his corrupt agenda without question. Meanwhile the staff is miserable.
The city council is silent on this latest embarrassment to the city at the mayor’s execution. I assume something will eventually be said and it we will look like this: Affa will condemn the action then take it back and declare her love for the mayor. Napoli will blame Trump because he is a business owner and knows what it is like to run a business and declare his sworn allegiance to Tuerk. Mota will talk about how people are suffering and the mayor was wrong and then make a motion to give the mayor an award.
Allentown is a joke and it is being run by a low budget Pee-Wee Herman. Wake up Allentown and vote them all out, starting with Tuerkey!
The Mayor has made Allentown great again despite the ruin the 11 registered Republicans who live in the city have caused.
ReplyDeleteUm no he hasn't. He has disgraced the city by his actions. I hate telling people I live here.
DeleteI have lived in Allentown through several mayors. Tuerk is by far the worst. He truly isn't qualified to run this city. Nor is Boyer, Genesis, those in H.R. Then Kistler is a yes woman to the mayor. Council is awful. Santo couldn't be more bought by the mayor. " well l, I mean, I own a business and I know hard it is to find good workers" blah blah. Affa- let's scream at everyone and say negative things under her breathe. Hendricks- " i was a police officer for 30 years, I served this city." Okay but irrelevant, times have changed. CeCe- police get nothing, Santos- is it my turn to vote? Otherwise I won't speak. Zucal- let's call the mayor out on everything, Mota- I know the right thing to do, but I am gonna vote against it or for it. Guys what is going on here!!! No one has blasted the mayor for making Allentown a viral comedy. We all look awful. Next council and mayoral elections will certainly bring new people
ReplyDeleteAllentown is a joke because of this mayor. Over 10million hits of mayor acting dumb. I'm sure he will roll the red carpet out for Kamala. Hear she mayb 300 people coming to see her at Muhlenburg college. I bet Ce Ce, Mota, Santo and Affa go to the event. Santo will talk about woman's clothing store he owns. Affa will compare Trump to Hitler like she posted the other day, CeCe will be asking money for Promise Neighborhood and Mota will say she supports Harris then vote for Trump. Pee Wee will be Pee Wee and try to act cool.
