Clinton camp piles on after Trump bombs at charity dinner
By Cristiano Lima
Hillary Clinton's allies are blasting Donald Trump for attacking the Democratic nominee at New York's Al Smith dinner on Thursday night, an off-key speech that prompted a chorus of boos from those in attendance.
The white-tie charity dinner at the Waldorf Astoria in Manhattan, which benefits Roman Catholic charities, quickly devolved into an insult comedy special when Trump began ripping Clinton for being "corrupt" and insinuating that she hated Catholics. The dinner is usually a light-hearted affair, but Trump used the occasion to let fly many of the attack lines he uses on the stump.
“Here she is tonight, in public, pretending not to hate Catholics," Trump said, in one of several attempted jokes that bombed badly with the crowd.
During the event, Clinton staffers and Democratic operatives took to social media to pile on:
"Well that didn’t go well"
"Trump may be the least funny person in America."
"Trump may be the least gracious person alive."
"Trump's gonna get booed out of the room."
"How bad do you have to be to get booed in this room"
