Donald Trump’s and Hillary Clinton’s most memorable ‘jokes’
Presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton tore into
each other at a charity dinner hosted by the Catholic Archdiocese of New
York, a dinner that has provided comic relief in the past but one that
instead solicited “boos” and “ahhs,” highlighting the tense mood this
election cycle.
The dinner, which is named after the New York governor who in 1928 became the first Catholic nominee for president, raised more than $6 million for charity, a record. A charitable foundation was launched in 1946 and has hosted opposing candidates to gather to trade jokes during intense campaigns.
Al Smith IV teased both of the candidates, joking about how Donald Trump asked how Hillary Clinton was feeling before dinner. “She said, ‘I’m fine,’” Smith said, imitating Clinton, “now get out of the ladies’ dressing room.”
