Jim Gaffigan Roasts Kamala For Skipping Al Smith Dinner
SUMMARY
Comedian Jim Gaffigan took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris for skipping the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner in New York, where he served as the Master of Ceremonies. During the event, Gaffigan questioned Harris's absence, noting, “This is a room full of Catholics and Jews in New York City; this is a lay-up for the Democratic nominee.” He humorously pointed out her decision to appear on shows like The View, Howard Stern, and the Call Her Daddy podcast instead. Gaffigan also poked fun at the narrative surrounding Donald Trump's potential reelection, quipping, “In fact, they were so concerned of this threat, they staged a coup, ousted their democratically elected incumbent, and installed Kamala Harris. In other words, all her dreams have come true.” He concluded with a jab about the so-called “secret Trump voters,” saying, “They’re called the ‘Biden family.’” Harris's campaign previously stated she prioritized campaigning over the charity dinner.
