Trump's campaign, Allentown mayor clash over timing of road closures ahead of Tuesday rally

However, that lasted only for about 20 minutes. Mayor Tuerk made some calls, and those roads were promptly reopened.

"If they can't put a big corral on that, you're going to have a line here out 5,000 people, 6,000, 7000 people will be in the line waiting to get in," vendor, Tony Matt, said.

Tuerk says he wants Allentown to be welcoming, regardless of political affiliation — but not without the proper permits.

"They didn't have permission from PennDOT," Tuerk said. "And I'm following PennDOT's rules on PennDOT roads."

One would think the safety of 10,000 people would take priority over political differences. But not with these scum.

The mayor is afraid of people seeing what Allentown has become.

Not sure what that has to do with this. No refugees are standing in line.

This isn’t about road closures.

The traffic BS is an excuse.

It’s about the rally.

Period.

The mayor and Deep State don’t want anyone getting a close up look at wha5s happened to Allentown.

From January. Guess which city comes in at #1 ...

Some of the Lehigh Valley’s biggest municipalities raised taxes or fees for 2024

Though it's a damning indictment of the entire area's tax and spend bureaucracy and pols.

The use of ad hominems is a sign the slinger knows he or she has lost an argument.

Lehigh County designated 'high intensity drug trafficking area,' will get federal support

As usual, the enemedia buried the lede...

...Local intelligence and investigative findings found kilograms of heroin/fentanyl, cocaine and methamphetamine are being supplied by Mexican drug trafficking organizations into the region, the release said....

You have to scroll way down for the above bit.

The rally is happening regardless of whether the roads are shut down or not. The fact that you know one piece of info about the area and use it to try to explain everything says a lot about you.

And it is not an ad hominem if it is an accurate description, which it was.

4 hurt in Allentown shooting near PPL Center

Criminal complaint accuses Allentown man of firing multiple shots at group of people, 8 injured

Pa. Senate showdown set over tax records in Allentown’s state-backed neighborhood improvement zone

If I were the local pols, I wouldn't want Trump's visit shining a light on that, either.

Every city of 100,000+ has those same issues. Do you post those things everywhere Trump has a rally?

You’re a loon. People like you ruin this site by crapping up threads with nonsense unrelated to the original post.

I cannot imagine how tired the PA residents must be of all of this crap.

Just vote and get over it.

Allentown school district cancelling classes for today, “due to a planned political rally in the city of Allentown. This event is expected to bring large crowds, heavy traffic, and potential disruptions that may impact the safety and security of our students and staff.”
