Paige “Machete” Cognetti Disgustingly Slanders Law Enforcement

August 20, 2026

Yesterday, Paige “Machete” Cognetti took a disgusting swipe at law enforcement when asked about her lack of endorsements from police unions:

So Paige Cognetti thinks the men and women who keep Pennsylvanians safe every day are little more than partisan hacks.

Paige, here’s a suggestion: maybe you should consider the fact that the biggest police unionin the country didn’t endorse you because you want to take away police officers’ ability to defend themselves.

Or maybe it’s because under your watch, Scranton is experiencing a crime crisis.

Don’t worry, though, your horrific decision-making won’t affect your wealthy liberal donors in New York and Chicago who are propping up your campaign.

“Paige ‘Machete’ Cognetti’s disgusting swipe at law enforcement is a perfect microcosm of her time as mayor: disparaging and attacking law enforcement at the expense of Pennsylvania families. Cognetti owes every man and woman who puts their life on the line every day to protect their community an apology.” – NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson
