Comedian Jim Gaffigan emceed the 79th Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner on Thursday, taking shots at Vice President Kamala Harris for skipping the event.
Comedian Jim Gaffigan took surprising digs at Vice President Kamala Harris for skipping the 79th Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner on Thursday, instead opting to send a pre-recorded video message to be shown at the bipartisan and light-hearted Catholic charity event. 'You know, this event has been referred to as the Catholic Met Gala. Twenty-two percent of Americans identify as Catholic.
'This year will be imbalanced because sadly, Kamala Harris isn't coming,' Dolan said on his podcast Tuesday. 'It's a shame because the nature of the evening is to bring people together. The nature of the evening is civility, patriotism, humor. It's not a campaign speech. It's not a campaign stop.' Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris campaign for comment on sending a pre-recorded video message for the event, but did not receive a reply.
