‘They Staged a Coup’: Jim Gaffigan Shreds DNC, Harris at Al Smith Dinner
“The Democrats have been telling us Trump’s reelection is a threat to democracy. In fact, they were so concerned of this threat that they staged a coup.”
Oh, man. Al Smith dinner host Jim Gaffigan had a great time tearing apart the Democrats and VP Kamala Harris, calling out their coup.
Coup
GAFFIGAN: “This has been an interesting presidential campaign. The Democrats have been telling us Trump’s reelection is a threat to democracy. In fact, they were so concerned of this threat that they staged a coup. Ousted their democratically elected incumbent and installed Kamala Harris. In other words, all her dreams have come true. It really makes you consider the power of prayer, right cardinal? Sometimes prayers take three and a half years and a George Clooney op-ed. I don’t know who is angry but I don’t care. Anyway, can I — so — you know.”

DNC and Biden
Gaffigan: “Of course Joe Biden was the second Catholic president after JFK. President Biden could not be here tonight. The DNC made sure of that.”

Biden Family and Trump
Oh, you know there has to be some truth to this. You know Jill is mad:
“The media has begun discussing the phenomena of ‘secret Trump voters’ — people who publicly say they’d never vote for Trump, but then when they go in the voting booth, they do. It’s a small group. They’re called the ‘Biden family.'”

Harris’s Absence
Gaffigan had to poke fun at Harris for skipping the dinner: “She did find time to appear on The View, Howard Stern, Colbert — and the longtime staple of campaigning, the Call Her Daddy podcast…”
Kamala gets roasted for being the first presidential nominee since 1984 to skip the Al Smith charity dinner:

I’m sure the communists will find some way to get their revenge. Sorry Jim, you’ll probably be seeing the IRS soon.
She should have went to the dinner and announced “All I will be having to eat tonight is toast.
I never knew Gaffigan could be funny!
That behavior isn’t allowed on SNL.
Cute … but you cannot “coup” a non-compos mentis doorstop.
Though the democrats have staged more than a couple of actual, real-life coup attempts over the last 20 years.
“More than a couple” was my first thought.
Gaffigan, the boy that showed the Democrats have no clothes. Well done.
A comedian can make these points effectively, one after the other, yet not a single one of “our” representatives can, isn’t that the oddest thing?
Good thing we still have a First Amendment, because if we had to wait for our party to speak up, we’d all be in the reeducation camps first.
Do you seriously think we have a party? The R’s in government aren’t working for us, nor have they for decades.
And it took a dyed-in-the-the-wool Dem to do it. It is shameful. It’s not enough to say they support Trump, they should be saying these things.

Wow…I’m impressed that Gaffigan didn’t pull punches. Doesn’t surprise me that the crowd wasn’t all that receptive, but it does that he said such things at all.
Hot Pockets!
If you know, you know.
I was hoping he would tie the Waffle House sign to Kamala Harris.
I enjoyed his comedy, but when he went on a TDS spiel on Twitter, I unfollowed him and lost all interest in him as a comedian.
He isn’t the only one who has had a change of heart. What’s the old saying? A conservative is just a liberal that’s been mugged? To get past the divisiveness that currently plagues us we must have grace for those who want to return to the fold. People like Whoopie Goldberg, Steven King and the like will never change their minds but for those that do I think we should keep the door open.
Gaffigan lives in a walk-up in the city. He’s probably seeing first hand how things are going.
When you’re afraid to walk down anymore, your viewpoint changes.
He hasn’t changed his mind he’s still full Democrat
Good to see Gaffigan finally sobered up even to be funny.

This is uplifting. I always loved his standup, he works clean and is hilarious. Then I thought he went full TDS, but this is awesome.
I have no idea who this guy is, but anyone who unironically believes Trump hoaxes and spews TDS rants is just someone with nothing interesting to say. It’s great, I guess, that he feels comfortable enough to state the obvious, but IDGAF.
