Trump Booed at Catholic Charity Dinner in New York

HeadlineOct 21, 2016

On Thursday night, Trump and Hillary Clinton both spoke here in New York at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in New York to raise money for Catholic charities. Trump was repeatedly heckled and booed during the event.

Donald Trump: “We learned so much from WikiLeaks. For example, Hillary believes that it’s vital to deceive the people by having one public policy and a totally different policy in private. That’s OK. I don’t know who they’re angry at, Hillary, you or I. For example, here she is tonight in public pretending not to hate Catholics.”

Hillary Clinton poked fun at Trump’s claim that he might not accept the result of the November election.

Hillary Clinton: “You know, come to think of it, it’s amazing I’m up here after Donald. I didn’t think he’d be OK with a peaceful transition of power.”

The two candidates sat at the same table during the dinner, separated only by Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the archbishop of New York.
