What began as the expected ribbing of presidential candidates at the white-tie Al Smith Dinner Thursday turned to boos as Donald Trump described Hillary Clinton as corrupt at the event, which is a major fundraiser for the Catholic charities connected to the Archdiocese of New York
Trump was quick to take some campaign trail attacks with him to the dais at the annual dinner. He called Clinton so corrupt she got kicked off the Watergate Commission and lobbed his usual line that Clinton has been in politics for 30 years and accomplished little. I can fix it, she says, he deadpanned as the crowds mood noticeably shifted.
As the boos rolled in Trump wondered who they were booing. I dont know who theyre angry at Hillary, you or I? he said. Someone in the crowd yelled out you!
Trumps next line struck a nerve. Here she is in public, pretending not to hate Catholics, Trump said, referencing an apparent email exposed by WikiLeaks in which a Clinton spokeswoman seemed to joke about Catholics and evangelicals
The Democratic nominee, for her part, poked fun at herself while also taking searing jabs at her opponent. Clinton didnt hesitate to slam Trump for his past comments on women and his ambivalence about accepting next months election results.
In contrast with Trump, Clinton also made a point of acknowledging both the purpose and the history of the Al Smith dinner and closed her speech with a big-picture campaign message that was tied to the positive focus of Thursdays Catholic fundraiser

Did anyone notice Trump's reaction after Hillary finished her wonderful remarks?

I'll bet the eight-block limo ride from the Waldorf back to Trump Tower seemed like forever.
