Julianna Frieman; American Spectator "If you can’t take the roast, don’t go to the Al Smith Dinner."
"America needs an executive, not a virtual avatar. We need a body in a room whose eyes can meet any adversary, domestic or foreign, and deliver warmth while saying, “Don’t cross me.' ” J.F.
. . ."Traditionally, both Democrat and Republican presidential nominees speak before a room of hundreds of diners. They elicit laughs with lighthearted roasts as a testament to the humanity of larger-than-life politicians.
"It is a rite of passage on the path to the White House. But what happens when one party decides to break tradition instead of bread?
"Even though Catholics account for 22 percent of the American population, Vice President Kamala Harris opted out of the charity event to campaign in a battleground state. Except Harris was not on stage in Wisconsin when the dinner began at 8 p.m. — she spoke for 30 minutes before wrapping up her last rally for the day in Green Bay around 7:20 p.m.
"Hours before President Donald Trump made Democrats blush with meta punches and praises, Harris was busy telling religious protesters shouting “Jesus is Lord” that they went to “the wrong rally” in La Crosse.
“ 'I’m sorry. Why is Vice President Harris not here?” Gaffigan asked, as some of the attendees jeered. “I mean, consider this. This is a room full of Catholics and Jews in New York City. This is a layup for the Democratic nominee.”
"Trump broke the fourth wall with jokes about his criminal indictments in the state — as New York Attorney General Letitia James sat mere feet behind him — and quips acknowledging his infamous characterization by Democrats and the media. He opened up about attending the Al Smith Dinner with his father, Fred Trump, and admonished Harris for disrespecting the faith by “attending” via pre-recorded video. " . . .
