While working the room at the Al Smith Dinner last night, comedian Jim Gaffigan tore into Donald Trump, mocking the former President's history of racism.
Jim Gaffigan is one of the most popular comedians in America with his act working for both Republicans and Democrats. The comic has made no secret about his political affiliation, frequently blasting Trump. And he was more than happy to continue doing so during his dinner appearance.
The comic alluded to Donald Trump's history of racist tactics as a building owner, saying, "If Vice President Harris wins this election, not only would she be the first female president: a Black woman would occupy the White House, a former Trump residence. Obviously you wouldn’t be renting to her. I mean, that would never happen anyway… Maybe if Doug [Emhoff] did the signing.'
Gaffigan also referenced Trump's lies about Haitian migrants eating dogs and cats in Springfield, Ohio, remarking, "You know, if you’re keeping track at home, this is the second time grabbing a kitty has been part of a campaign issue."
The comic didn't spare Harris. Noting that Trump was in attendance while she was holding a rally in Wisconsin, he said:
"You know, this event has been referred to as the Catholic Met Gala. Twenty-two percent of Americans identify as Catholic, Catholics will be a key demographic in every battleground state… I’m sorry—Why is Vice President Harris not here? I mean, consider this: This is a room full of Catholics and Jews in New York City. This is the layup for the Democratic nominee."
