Josh Siegel Should Think Twice Before Attacking Allentown's Former Top Cop


Lehigh County Exec candidate Joshua Siegel likes to tell anyone who will listen that he's outgrown his immaturity and has learned from previous mistakes that include participating in night rallies that chant, "F--- the Police!" They also include voting No to grants for Allentown's police. But one of his more recent ads indicates that Siegel has learned nothing. The man who wants to "F--- the police" and who wanted to burden you with both a sales and county income tax is claiming that his opponent, Roger MacLean, "failed to keep us safe" as Allentown's top cop back in 2010. 

Back then, Siegel was still living in Jersey and attending Phillipsburg High School. So there is no "us." 

If Siegel wants to know who has failed to keep Allentonians safe, all he needs to do is look in a mirror.

  1. Siegel knows in his heart that he has let his alligator mouth overload his hummingbird butt too many times. No one except dems who may share his hateful attitudes even listen to him. Thus, he is just slinging cow pies up against the side of the barn to see if anything sticks.

    1. I do not vote for someone based on his party. I agree that Siegel will be elected. I disagree that he'll be fantastic.

  6. Josh Siegel is an ally to the BIPOC communities, "f#ck the police" is a song by gangsta rap group NWA and is not to be taken literally it's a battle cry used in a time of deep pain after George Floyd's execution and that homie who was abused by APD outside the hospital

    1. That homie who was puking on everyone? They treated him correctly, secured him, then got him the help he needed. Those officers should be commended for handling the situation with restraint and professionalism. Instead the got a bunch of grief for doing their job.

    2. The man needed. A healing loving interaction not knees on back and cuffs, we have social workers who can deescalate this fraught situations without the risk of excessive force.

  7. Siegel is not only a terrible candidate, he's also a terrible person. Anyone who votes for this nut need their head examined.

  9. The TV ad is a disgrace- tells you everything you need to know about Siegel.

  13. This ad was a very bad mistake for Siegel. To date, we've been receiving his mailers portraying him as a serious public servant and moderate candidate with an adoring spouse and a policy platform of reducing taxes on seniors and increasing funding for police etc....This ad shows a completely different "ugly" side to Siegel who is willing to smear an older, respected former Police Chief. I cant imagine who's idea this was, terrible politics and bad judgment.

  14. Siegel is a deeply disturbed, dangerous, aggressively ambitious, young political hack.

    1. I have no particular problem with someone’s radical views. I take issue with candidates who have no moral compass and stand for little more than their self interest and unbridled ambition.

  15. I think it's safe to say that Siegal is masquerading as a mainstream candidate when he is clearly a radical. Reject him!

    1. I don't know if he's a full-on DSA tankie, but his apparent LACK of core convictions might even be more disturbing.

  16. Siegel iis a nut and the voters need to reject him!

  18. When a a candidate has lost a one-note left-wing radical apologist stenographer like Bernie, that's bad. Lehigh County deserves a huge tax increase and Allentown deserves more shootings and violence because that's what they're choosing.
