Former President Donald Trump on Thursday night insulted Vice President Kamala Harris’ family, repeatedly mispronounced her name and complained about how badly he was treated during his presidency, drawing occasional cheers and some laughs from a friendly crowd at the Al Smith charity dinner. Trump’s monologue at the storied Catholic fundraiser, a New York City venue that has traditionally featured light roasts by the two major-party nominees in presidential election years, came as Harris – who decided last month she would skip the event – wrapped up her sixth trip to battleground Wisconsin since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race. A thousand highway miles away – barnstorming the critical blue wall states and trying to shore up her most favorable path to the White House – she sharpened her attacks on her GOP rival by using his words against him as the race enters its final weeks. “It just gets more unbelievable sometimes. And now the man calls himself the father of IVF,” Harris said on Thursday, recalling Trump’s remark at an all-women’s town hall. “I mean, what does that even mean?” And she accused Trump of “gaslighting” the American people after he called January 6, 2021, a “day of love” at his Univision town hall earlier this week. Back in Manhattan, the former president was surrounded by a motley crew of friends, foes, and those who might qualify as both. New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan and former first lady Melania Trump flanked Trump, who might have noticed that New York Attorney General Letitia James, who successfully brought a massive civil fraud case against him, loomed over his shoulder. New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, a big donor, did too. Former Mayor Michael Bloomberg sat, mostly expressionless, during the former president’s remarks. When his time came to speak, Trump offered up a few one-liners, but mostly stuck to insulting his rivals, arguing that Harris’ absence was “deeply disrespectful” to Catholics.
