Kamala Harris on Thursday night was booed at the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in New York City because she decided not to show up.
Harris is the first presidential candidate to skip the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner since Democrat Walter Mondale in 1984 and Mondale went on to lose to Republican Ronald Reagan in a historic landslide.
President Trump appeared in person to the dinner on Thursday night, but Kamala Harris snubbed the invite from the Catholic charity and agreed to appear in a pre-recorded video.
Kamala Harris was loudly booed for snubbing the charity dinner.
“We are very sorry that Vice President Harris cannot make it here in person,” the host said to loud boos.

Even CNN’s talking potato Brian Stelter was impressed with President Trump.
“I thought he was funny! I thought he actually got a few great jokes in … and he took advantage of the fact that Kamala Harris wasn’t there,” Stelter said.
