Trump and Harris at the Al Smith dinner...wait! What?

Donald Trump obliterates Kamala Harris, Biden, de Blasio and more Dems in scorching Al Smith dinner roast: ‘Shows there is a God’  "No one was safe from former President Donald Trump’s zingers Thursday night at the Al Smith Dinner — as he panned Vice President Kamala Harris for skipping the event, roasted New York City Mayor Eric Adams and dragged top Democrats in the rowdy audience.

"Trump, 78, blasted Harris for being the first presidential candidate to decline the invitation to the Manhattan event, which raises funds for Catholic charities supporting children, since former Vice President Walter Mondale in 1984.

" 'I guess you should have told her the funds were going to bail out the looters and rioters in Minneapolis and she would have been here guaranteed,” Trump needled." . . .

Jim Gaffigan Eviscerates Kamala Harris and the Democrats — Exposes the Coup Against Biden at Al Smith Charity Dinner  . . ."Comedian Jim Gaffigan, who recently portrayed Minnesota Governor Tim Walz on SNL, took sharp jabs at Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party during the 79th Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, where Harris was notably absent.

"Instead of attending the long-standing bipartisan Catholic charity event, Harris opted for a pre-recorded video message.

"Gaffigan did not waste the opportunity to mock her avoidance of real public engagement while prioritizing softball media appearances.

" 'This event has been referred to as the Catholic Met Gala. Twenty-two percent of Americans identify as Catholic. Catholics will be a key demographic in every battleground state,” Gaffigan said as the night’s emcee.

“ 'I’m sorry. Why is Vice President Harris not here?” he continued." . . .

Hell Freezes Over: Even Brian Stelter Praises Trump's Jokes, As Harris Gets Booed at Al Smith Dinner   . . . "Harris had the nerve to attack Trump over his comments, another nasty breaking of the tradition of the event. You're supposed to accept the roasting in good spirits. But all she has left is ridiculous attacks on Trump as her campaign implodes. "Here was the statement she released, none of which was true." . . .

At right is the statement on Trump's address at the Al Smith dinner. I do have to say Mr. Trump did struggle with his delivery, appearing to have trouble seeing the text he was reading from. TD
