Harris Sending Pre-Recorded Video to Al Smith Charity Dinner
That doesn’t count as attending, Kamala.
Tonight is the 79th Al Smith charity dinner. It’s a tradition for the presidential candidates to attend and roast each other.
VP Kamala Harris announced last month she would not attend so she could campaign.
I guess Harris felt the heat, but not enough because she’s sending in a pre-recorded video.
From The Daily Caller:
“Vice President Harris will appear via a pre-recorded video at tonight’s dinner,” Joseph Zwilling, spokesman for the Archdiocese of New York, told the DCNF.
“Although we traditionally have had the privilege of hosting two presidential candidates, unfortunately Vice President Kamala Harris is still unable to join us this year due to conflicts with her campaign schedule,” Mary Erdoes, vice chair of the Al Smith Foundation’s board of directors, wrote in an email Friday which was obtained by the DCNF. “Please know that we exhausted every possible effort and connection we had to try to get her there, but to no avail. While we will miss her on the Dais, she will be joining us on screen, likely via video.”
Former President Donald Trump will attend in person.
The Al Smith dinner raises money for Catholic charities that help children with financial and medical needs.
The presidential candidate tradition started in 1960 when Richard Nixon and JFK attended.
The Archdiocese of New York did not invite former President Bill Clinton or challenger Bob Dole in 1996 “because Clinton vetoed a late-term abortion ban.”

Comments
She can’t take a little bit of roasting, how is she going to talk to Vladimir Putin or Xi or Kim Jong-un
She’s having voicemail installed on the red phone.
An AI Bot can handle the call, likely better,
If nothing else, her video will probably be good for a few hearty laughs.
She’ll be reading “jokes” written for her by some Hollyweird schmuck.
It doesn’t count, Harris. There is a participation grade.
Profile in courage.
Given the way her “values” shift, she’s a Profile in Putty.
Say, what’s the name of the TV Trope where somebody substitutes an embarrassing video in place of the video scheduled to be shown at a public event?
Harris is a horrible candidate. Without the CA d/prog machine anointing her she couldn’t get elected dog catcher. It still baffles me why someone as smart as Rep Jim Clyburn forced her as VP in ’20. She had gotten treated like a pinata in the d/prog presidential primary campaign and was constantly making unforced errors.
The national d/prog machine and their media allies are trying to do the same for her Presidential campaign but the national electorate ain’t a one party State like CA. Her campaign is keeping her away from opportunities to fumble/stumble. Avoiding a relatively friendly environment like the Al Smith dinner which is good natured ribbing for a good cause demonstrates how much her campaign staff fear she will make another gaffe.
Did Clyburn force her specifically? I remember it as him extracting a promise of:
1) A black female VP pick
2) A black female SCOTUS pick
I bet he was as shocked as anyone when the Dims chose this dolt.
She will appear as a vision, and to the attentive faithful, will reveal the three secrets of Kamala.
But they can’t be disclosed to the public for 75 years.
Jokes aside, what’s interesting is the 75-year classified exemption to FOIA requests of presidential records was supposed to be for a tiny, tiny fraction of all the presidential records, the most secretive HUMINT stuff. The non-classified were only to be exempted for 12-years (upon specific presidential request) and the classified materials should have only remained classified for no longer than 25-years. The reality however, has proven to be something much different. We don’t even really know precisely how many records remain unavailable from the Eisenhower administration and we’re nearing 72-years from when he entered office. This subjective and mercurial lack of transparency should not be how the people’s business is conducted in a free society.
At heart, we haven’t been a free society since FDR at the latest. “Philip Dru, Administrator” was the beginning of the end.
She obviously has no chance-which is why they will rely on Dominion
Is she trying to win?
I see this as actually being *worse* than not showing up at all.
The complaint leveled against Harris is that she’s a lightweight with a chip on her shoulder in other words a person that cannot take criticism and is otherwise offended easily.
Even Felonious Von Pantsuit showed up and laughed heartily at the “Pardon” joke.
By “appearing” via zoom she is reinforcing the notion that she cannot think on her feet, cannot speak extemporaneously, cannot take a joke.
Mostly because all of those things are true.
She she going to do a stand up comedy routine in drag?
I just don’t understand
the harris team will tell us she is too busy attending to the war room protecting america
This will be nothing but a massive bathroom break!
They should send her a message saying we invited you, not a recorded version of you. We will not be playing your recording. Period.
It would be rather awesome if someone managed to replace her video with a rickroll
Sending a recording translates to I can’t be bothered.
“VP Harris will appear via a pre-recorded message,”
Heck, even Yahya Sinwar could do that.
“Good evening. I am a chump and a poser. Peace out.”
— Crone-Harlot-Dunce, Harris.
As border Czar, she has very important things to do!!
