wow this is totally awful, this is an old Saturday night skit that no one will get why why why? Come up with something more recent and funny, this is horrible Kamala didn't even do any of her own material and this skit is just awful. It would have been relevant in 1998 but its so dated and cringe now.

You do realize that the average age at Al Smith dinner is over 60, right? If they watched SNL in the mid 90s, they know who MCG is. Especially if you're a Catholic.

Like I said, big time Boomer energy event.

But it’s an insulting, bigoted parody of a Catholic woman. You do get that, right? What’s next? Is she going to send a video with Chappelle playing Tyrone Biggums to an NAACP fundraiser or a video with some white guy with a sombrero doing a heavy Mexican accent to a La Rasa fundraiser?

I just don’t see why her campaign would set this up, especially a week after the Gretchen Whitmer Doritos video, unless they weren’t trying to ditch all hopes at winning over any Catholics, who make up a very large percentage of voters in states she needs to win like PA and Mich.

I think they have rightfully ditched all hopes of winning Catholics that are offended by this. Those folks are all in on Trump's grievance politics. Harris is going for people with a sense of humor.

No, I think Trump describing how he imagines the sex lives of women who vote for him was weird and creepy.

Harris is going for people that don't want an extension of the mental unfitness and weak leadership at the top that we've endured since Obama left office (AKA the smart people). Hopefully that is most of us!

What? Sorry but you are nuts, PP.

Given the Opus Dei/Leonard Leo take over of the country, I am perfectly happy eschewing this fringe of Catholics and Evangelicals from the national discussion. They can all go live their lives, but instead, they are imposing their religious lens into our national dialogue and policy. THAT is un-American.

Harris doesn’t need the Catholic vote to win. That’s literally what she indicated in her video. She spat in their faces with that video.

Sorry, some people just have different senses of humor. Trump was basically saying Harris supporters' wives are cheating on them. This is an old, tired joke that is all about women being men's possessions.

I wonder if you could handle Call Her Daddy humor. I know some people are really triggered by the notion of women's sexuality not being solely about men's pleasure.

Catholics are increasingly MAGA. Lots of people have left the Catholic Church for its support of Trump. It's really hard to accept that institution as a moral authority.

A twice divorced man with a third wife and who has broken every Roman Catholic bird, must have Al Smith turning over in his grave!

The fact of the matter is that the white American Catholic Church is getting more radical, extreme, and political as time goes on.

Lots of normal, moderate Catholics have left the Church since the abuse scandals, coverups, and restitution payments. I have so many politically moderate friends who do not want to raise their kids in the Church, even if they otherwise received a fantastic education from Catholic schools. Congregations are getting older and more conservative. Young people converting to Catholicism tend to hard-right and are embracing TradCath ideologies, seeing it as a new form of conservative Republican networking.

It will be interesting to see how Latino and African-American Catholics react to the changes happening among the white elite who still control the power levers of the American Catholic Church. They are not nearly as radical in their ideologies.

The WaPo headline got it about right, IMO. "Trump delivers profanity, below-the-belt digs at Catholic charity banquet. The only person off limits for Trump’s roast was himself."

Yes but most of those Catholics that were considering Trump previously now see that Trump is just another Biden 2.0; an elderly man with declining mental health that has absolutely no business serving as "leader" of the free world until 2029. There are a few Catholics of lower intelligence that may still vote for Trump but most are smart enough to see the truth for what it is.

The Catholic Church is on its way to oblivion because so few catholics attend services.
