'Who does that?' Trump condemned for 'swearing in front of priests' at Catholic dinner

Donald Trump took off-color and occasionally profane shots at Kamala Harris and her husband at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, where political leaders have traded jabs for decades — but a former Republican lawmaker said this speech felt different.

The Republican presidential nominee made several transphobic jokes about Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), insulted the intelligence of Harris and President Joe Biden, and passed on the opportunity to make self-deprecating jokes — and instead wallowed in self-pity.

“Nope, I’ve got nothing – I’ve got nothing," he said. “I guess I just do not see the point in taking shots at myself when other people have been shooting at me for a long time.”

Trump also used profanity in his speech at the white-tie dinner that raises millions of dollars for Catholic charities.

“I don’t give a s--- if this is comedy or not,” he said at one point.

Barbara Comstock, a former Republican representative for Virginia, appeared Friday morning on CNN to discuss Trump's speech and a short video skit recorded by Harris with comedian Molly Shannon, who reprised her Catholic schoolgirl character from "Saturday Night Live."

"My husband teaches at a Catholic girls school, so way to go vice president for the Mary Katherine Gallagher video that she sent in last night to the Catholic dinner," Comstock said.

"He is very much for the vice president, and not only is my daughter, but he is talking to our sons, saying, 'Listen, on behalf of your daughters, you need to be supporting the vice president and opposing this man who's such a misogynist and daily attacking women, and he called me at the middle of that dinner last night about what a buffoon and what an ungodly, profanity-laced hot mess that dinner was, because he knows what that Catholic dinner is supposed to be."

"This was somebody who was just being horrendous at that dinner, swearing in front of priests – who does that?" Comstock added. "That is just a hot, horrible mess. We need to turn the page."
