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 out, roasted NYC mayor Eric Adams and dragged top Democrats in the rowdy audience.
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 out, 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 Manhattan event, which raises funds for Catholics charities supporting children, since 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.
The former president quipped that Harris is actually out “receiving communion from Gretchen Whitmer,” in reference to the Michigan governor appearing in a bizarre viral video feeding a Dorito to a social media influencer on her knees.
The Republican presidential nominee slammed Harris for being “disrespectful to Catholics” and compared her to Mondale, who also skipped the dinner and went on to only win his home state in the race against Ronald Reagan.
“Shows there is a God,” Trump laughed about Mondale’s results.
The 45th president then directed his jokes at many others in the crowd, including Mayor Adams.
Trump wished “good luck” to the Big Apple mayor, who is under federal indictment on federal corruption and bribery charges.
