Campaign Update: Trump's Uproarious Speech Brings Down the House At the Al Smith Dinner

Donald Trump attended the Al Smith Dinner for Catholic Charities in New York City last night, and Kamala Harris joined Walter Mondale as the only two presidential candidates in the dinner’s history to refuse to do so. When Trump mentioned this fact, he received a strong ovation from the attendees, as you will see in the video of Trump’s remarks.

In fact, Trump seemed to receive more ovations in this absolutely hilarious speech than we see in the average state of the union address. Whomever wrote the jokes for him deserves a bonus and a promotion - it is a real masterpiece of comedic writing.

For her part, Harris sent a video. No kidding, really, she sent a video, which included an unfunny skit with former SNL cast member Molly what’s-her-name doing her sacrilegious portrayal of a kid in a Catholic school.

Trump said it was “disrespectful,” and added that “instead of attending tonight, she’s in Michigan receiving Communion from Gretchen Whitmer.” I’m still laughing at that one, but the “disrespectful” part resonated with the attendees.

But in all seriousness, Harris’s decision to not attend this event is one of the most despicable things she could have possibly done. This is especially true because of the reasons why: Abortion, and her cackling, annoying laugh. She didn’t want to have any uncomfortable discussions about her support of killing babies even after they’ve been born - which is 100% true - and knew she would not be able to keep her cackle under control.

For those two craven reasons, she skipped this event which, for those who may not be aware, annually raises millions of dollars to support Catholic-run orphanages and child health charities. It is literally one of the finest ways to show you care about the unfortunate among us.

And Kamala Harris sent a video. Yes, that is deeply disrespectful.
