Kamala skipping Al Smith dinner, Trump & Hillary very hilarious 2016 appearance

Maria Bartiromo on Kamala skipping the Al Smith dinner: It’s in step with what she’s been doing: skipping interviews, skipping press conferences. She still has yet to articulate an actual policy plan, and that Oprah interview? Wow. I can’t believe she gets away with it.

Watch Trump’s hilarious 2016 appearance.

President Trump attended the dinner during both presidential runs in 2016 and 2017. This is the first time a presidential candidate has skipped the event since 1984 when Democrat candidate Walter Mondale opted out.

Since 1945, politicians have attended the Al Smith Dinner to trade good-natured barbs and raise money for Catholic charities. By 1960, the event became an important tradition for presidential candidates as it is often the last event at which the two major party presidential candidates share a stage before the election day. The candidates and speakers take part in some mild roasting, which requires at least a little bit of thick skin and a dose of deprecation, something the Kamala Harris does not seem to possess. She seems capable of only putting herself into situations with adoring interviewers and highly controlled situations. According to AP, Kamala Harris has declined an invitation to the event.

Transcript Highlights

The following is transcribed from the video audio:

• I mean, it’s in step with what she’s been doing, skipping interviews, okay
• She still has yet to articulate an actual policy plan that’s cohesive
• He used to love me when I was a Democrat, you know
• It’s great to be here with a thousand wonderful people, or as I call it, a small, intimate dinner with some friends, or as Hillary calls it, her largest crowd of the season
• But the candidates have some lighthearted moments together, which is true
• I have no doubt that Hillary is going to laugh quite a bit tonight, sometimes even at an appropriate moment
• And even tonight, with all of the heated back and forth between my opponent and me at the debate last night, we have proven that we can actually be civil
• In fact, just before taking the dais, Hillary accidentally bumped into me, and she very civilly said, pardon me
• When I very politely replied, let me talk to you about that after I get into office
• She said if somehow she gets elected, she wants me to be, without question, either her ambassador to Iraq or to Afghanistan
