Charity Dinner Host: Donald Trump Crossed The Line With Hillary Clinton Attacks
The GOP nominee drew boos at a Catholic fundraiser when he claimed Clinton was only pretending not to hate Catholics.
If there was any doubt that Donald Trumps comedy routine at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Dinner did not go over well with the crowd, Alfred E. Smith V put that to rest on Friday morning.
Smith ― the great-great-grandson of the dinners namesake, who was the first Catholic presidential nominee from a major party ― specifically told CNNs New Day that Trumps joke that Hillary Clinton was pretending not to hate Catholics did not sit well with the largely Catholic audience.
Donald had some very solid minutes early on and eventually he crossed the line and took it a little too far, Smith said. Hillary, on the other hand, was able to laugh at herself and at the same time not underplay any of the serious things that Donald Trump has said or done.
Of course, there was little doubt Thursday night that Trumps line upset the crowd since it drew loud boos from those gathered. The joke was a reference to the publication of a hacked email that Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri, herself a Catholic, had made an controversial comment about Catholics and evangelicals.

(192 posts)1. TRUMP said Hillary was "One tough and talented woman"
Maybe that suggests that he'all leave the stage with a modicum of decency when the time comes.

Now, I'm not always against the concept of feces grenades at white-tie affairs, however, this was a charity event to help low-income children.
Trump demonstrated a complete and total inability to comport himself with decorum proper to his situation.
He's an elderly idiot child.
