Kamala Harris to skip traditional Al Smith dinner, first time presidential candidate has ducked charity event since 1984
Flailing, because she's an imbecile
[NY Post] 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
spokes person Lance-Bottoms
says she will instead campaigning 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 whch the contenders take turns giving speeches roasting eachother — since Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy appeared together in 1960.

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

"We are disappointed that she will not be with us, as this is an evening of unity and putting aside political differences in support of a good cause of helping women and children in need regardless of race, creed, or background," he said.

"We hope she reconsiders."

I think this is the reason - Trump would run through Harris like crap through a goose in that environment.

#6 Their plan is to have her talk as little as possible. An environment where she tries to be funny is the worst of all situations in the view of her handlers.
