Harris Hides

Admittedly, the Al Smith dinner is kind of hokey, but it is one of the few remaining political touchstones that builds and emphasizes collegiality at humility in our political process. This tells us that Harris is not allowed to speak unscripted to people who aren’t completely in the bag for her already. Notice that every (and they are very few) interview she has done is with an ally and she still screws that up. Why does she screw it up? Because she is an unlikable communist.

Donald Trump confirmed Monday that he would be the sole featured speaker at this year’s Al Smith charity dinner in New York, typically a good-humored and bipartisan political event that Vice President Kamala Harris said she is skipping in favor of battleground state campaigning.

 

The former president and current Republican presidential nominee confirmed in a Truth Social post on Monday that he would speak at the Oct. 17 dinner, calling it “sad, but not surprising” that Harris had opted not to attend.

 

The gala benefiting Catholic Charities traditionally has been used to promote collegiality, with presidential candidates from both parties appearing on the same night and trading barbs. But on Saturday, Harris’ campaign said the Democratic nominee would not go to the event, breaking with presidential tradition so she could campaign instead in a battleground state less than three weeks before Election Day.

    Just send a life-sized cutout and have a spokesperson with a fake Brooklyn accent read a prepared statement. Nobody will know the difference.

    Yeah, they will. They’ll notice she did not fuck up and look over to her in hope. And if they have the cognitive skills to tell a 2 dimensional picture from a 3D person, their newfound hope will be dashed.
