Harris needs to worry about the 95+ % of the live audience and those seeing it on social media and articles who did not recognize a niche comedic character from 25 years ago. To those people, it was unfunny and deeply weird at best, and at worst, a bigoted mocking of Catholics.

This woman is nuts.

This woman is a lot more busy with far more events than Trump is.

She actually did a Fox News interview this week that replaced a potential Fox News debate between Harris and Trump that Trump refused to do. Yes, Trump, just like Biden, can appear competent when reading off of script at a comfy dinner. Put him on a debate stage with no script and see what happens. Oh yea, we have seen that recently. Ouch. Trump was as out of touch mentally in the September debate as Biden in the June debate. Just stop it with unfit elderly people, will ya?

Debates don’t move the needle. That feels like ancient history. The only memorable moment was Trump’s viral they’re eating the dogs, which kids and his base found hilarious.

It’s clear that Trump’s tank is empty. Even his campaign is saying so. He’s old. Gearing up for days to attend a late night event is common for elderly people. No shame in that. But he can’t keep up with the demands of being POTUS at this point.

Bs. Funny how this is an issue for YOU now not biden and the last 4 years.

I see you.

This is extremely cringe. Are the same staffers who suggested this ones who told her to go on Fox News? Has Trump paid her off to lose because I don’t understand the strategy here. So worried about Nov 5!!!

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.

Holy moly. Talk about a snowflake. Molly Shannon has spoken about that character and there's no malice there at all.

"Debates don't move the needle" haha, well perhaps that is how and why since 2016 America has elected an unhinged reality TV personality and a guy 20 years past his prime that probably isn't mentally fit enough to be fully trusted for a full four year term. And some fools are trying to re-elect the unhinged guy after he totally blew it the first go around... hmmm...... maybe debates should matter more or are American voters now just too stupid to process and determine candidate quality when seeing them audition for the job live and unscripted?? Wow.

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.

I don't know what you mean by moderate Catholic. Plenty of people across the whole political spectrum at your local Catholic Church. If by moderate you are talking about people who don't want to believe core teachings of the church, then good, they should leave and find a church that agrees with them. But it is they who have drifted; the church is not the one changing its position on these teachings.

G-d forbid actual Catholics follow the teachings of Jesus Christ right?

Catholics have a very strong social justice tradition. Caring for the poor, immigrants, those on the outskirts of society. Deeds (actions) over words (saying you love Jesus and quoting the Bible means nothing without actually SHOWING you do through actions). The nasty anti-immigrant stance of the GOP doesn’t sit well with social justice oriented Catholics.

And there are many pro-choice Catholics as well. But Harris already has those. No point in attending a dinner alongside the nasty orange one with the hope of converting some strays. Her video appearance sufficed. She had far more important fish to fry.

Her non-attendance fits perfectly with her message. She’s the change candidate.

She’s the “change” candidate who can’t think of one thing she’d do differently than Biden or reason that she offers change. She’s the status quo candidate and a failed VP.

You can read her plan on her website, which you haven’t done.

Hardly. Biden shouldn’t have been running this year. I’m glad he dropped out.

The race now, however, is between Harris and Trump. As Haley noted, the party that drops the geriatric first will win. FWIW, I would have voted for Haley had she been the nominee.

Harris needs to worry about the 95+ % of the live audience and those seeing it on social media and articles who did not recognize a niche comedic character from 25 years ago. To those people, it was unfunny and deeply weird at best, and at worst, a bigoted mocking of Catholics.

It's pretty insulting that this fool presumes to be running around telling Catholics what they are supposed to be offended by.

+1 And Molly Shannon, in case you can’t tell just from her name, is Catholic herself.

No one under the age of say, 40, recognized that character.
