Kamala Harris to skip traditional Al Smith dinner, first time presidential candidate has ducked charity event since 1984

[excalibur]

Ha!

Trump really roasted Hilary back in 2016. Kamala running away from it.

This is no joking matter

Vice President Kamala Harris has decided to dodge former president Trump and skip this year’s Al Smith Dinner — a major election year event that generations of candidates have attended — becoming the first presidential hopeful to duck out since failed presidential wannabe Walter Mondale in 1984.

While Trump has agreed to go to the 79th iteration of the Archdiocese of New York’s dinner on Oct. 17, Harris’s camp says she will instead campaign in key battleground states on the final stretch before election day, her campaign told The Post.

It has been a tradition for both presidential candidates to attend the dinner — at which the contenders take turns giving speeches roasting each other — since Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy appeared together in 1960.

Archdiocese spokesperson Joseph Zwilling told The Post they learned that Harris would not be there on Saturday.

...

Harris will be the first to decline an invitation since Jimmy Carter’s Vice President, Walter Mondale declined in 1984 when he ran a losing campaign against President Ronald Reagan, Zwilling said.

Guess Kammy feels that she cannot afford to stay off the road drumming up votes in order to attend.

Cold democrat flop-sweat is kicking in.

She believes in the Kamala Harris charity, which is why she donates so little to other charities.

 

[d0gbreath]

So Reagan was the last candidate to duck the dinner roast. It's just silly business anyway. There are more important things to be doing, like maybe another debate.

 

[Moonglow]

Can Al Smith not afford his dinner?

Where did you pull that from?

Mondale skipped 1984 as it says in the OP.

1980?

1980?

My butt. It seems that I was wrong as usual. I skim read the OP too quickly.

Trump missed several traditional events as president, so no big deal

LOL The corespondents dinner in DC? Why should he attend that partisan garbage show? The Al Smith Dinner is non-partisan.

Harris to skip, Trump to attend annual Al Smith dinner​

Harris’s team told event organizers that she will be campaigning in a battleground state on the day of the dinner and is unable to attend, a campaign official told The Hill. She “wants to maximize her time in the battlegrounds this close to the election,” but her team told organizers that she would like to attend the event as president, if elected. Trump said on Truth Social “it will be an honor to attend” the dinner in New York.

Every winning president has won the Catholic vote, so they say...Kamala and Biden have been very Anti-Catholic.

In a past Democratic convention speech about the “American Dream,” she honed in on pet causes of her party – such as abortion (“the health and safety of women”), homosexuality (“marry the person you love”), and greater economic regulation – while professing to “firmly believe in the American ideal that our country should work for everyone.”
Details aside, nothing in the substance of this speech connected it to the country she was supposedly praising.
In other words, Kamala Harris’ “American Dream” is simply the generic cosmopolitan liberalism of elites throughout the Western world, from Brussels to Ottawa. When she claims to “love our country,” what she really seems to love is this elite vision of social justice – and perhaps America’s potential to be its global standard bearer.

All she has to do is make a donation. That's all they want.
