Kamala Harris is running scared, and her decision to skip the Al Smith Dinner proves it. The Al Smith Dinner is a longstanding tradition where politicians put their differences aside, make light-hearted jokes, and humanize themselves in front of the public. But not Harris—she’s dodging it, terrified of facing spontaneous moments where her true self might slip through. She’s hiding behind her script and avoiding the spotlight, and the American people deserve to know why.
Harris has never been great with humor or unscripted situations, and that’s no secret. But this event wasn’t going to be a presidential debate—it’s a charity dinner, for crying out loud! So why is she so scared of a little fun? Because Harris knows something we’ve all figured out by now: the more the public sees of her, the more they realize how unfit she is for the presidency.
Let’s break this down and expose what’s really going on.
A Missed Opportunity for Harris—But Why?
The Al Smith Dinner, hosted by the Archdiocese of New York, is a fundraiser that’s been a staple in U.S. politics for decades. Since 1960, it’s been a chance for presidential candidates to poke fun at themselves, exchange light-hearted jabs, and show a more human side. It’s bipartisan, it’s civil, and it’s a good cause—raising millions for Catholic Charities, benefiting the poor and vulnerable.
But Harris? She’s skipping it. This makes her the first presidential candidate in 40 years to decline the invitation. The last one to do it? Walter Mondale in 1984—and we all know how that turned out for him. Mondale lost 49 out of 50 states. Is Harris headed down the same path?
Her campaign claims “scheduling conflicts.” But let’s get real. This is a calculated move. She doesn’t want to be in a room where she might actually have to respond in real-time. The risk of facing even a light jab or delivering a joke that flops is just too high for her. She’s petrified that the American people might see what we already know—Kamala Harris doesn’t have what it takes to lead.
Why the Left is Afraid of the Spotlight
This isn’t just about one dinner. Harris’s decision to avoid the Al Smith Dinner is a clear signal that her campaign is in damage control mode. The strategy is simple: keep Harris hidden, don’t let her talk without a script, and avoid any situation where she might have to answer tough or even humorous questions.
Why? Because Kamala Harris isn’t comfortable in front of the American people. The more she speaks, the more her approval ratings drop. She can’t even crack a joke without stumbling, and her awkwardness on stage is painful to watch. Just look at her recent event with Oprah, where even with Hollywood’s help, she couldn’t land a punchline. Oprah, the queen of public speaking, looked embarrassed for her!
This isn’t a gaffe here or there—it’s a pattern of behavior. Harris is so tightly wound and scripted that when she has to think on her feet, she falters. The left knows it, too. Her campaign would rather have her crisscrossing swing states where she can stick to talking points, than let her face any situation where her weaknesses could be exposed.
Avoiding the Catholic Question?
Let’s not forget the other elephant in the room—Harris’s extreme pro-abortion stance. The Al Smith Dinner is hosted by the Catholic Church, an institution that’s unapologetically pro-life. Harris, on the other hand, has some of the most radical abortion views in U.S. politics, opposing any limits on abortion and even supporting “Born Alive” legislation that would deny care to infants who survive abortion attempts.
Imagine the optics of her sitting next to Cardinal Dolan, a staunch defender of life, while her record on abortion looms over the room. Her far-left base would have a meltdown. The last thing Harris wants is to be seen sharing a table with Catholic leaders, especially when the left is already busy demonizing the Church as part of their ongoing war on religion.
But here’s the truth: if you’re running for the highest office in the land, you don’t get to pick and choose who you interact with. You don’t get to hide from people with different views. The Al Smith Dinner isn’t a debate about abortion—it’s a charity event to help people in need. If Harris can’t even show up for that, what does it say about her leadership?
Harris Wants a Debate? Please.
Harris has also been calling for more debates with Donald Trump. But let’s be honest here—Harris needs the debates, not Trump. She’s barely holding a slim lead in the polls, and her campaign is desperate to get her face in front of voters, even though it’s not doing them any favors. Meanwhile, Trump doesn’t need another debate. Voters know him. They know where he stands, and they know what he’s capable of.
Harris, on the other hand, is a mystery to most Americans, and not in a good way. She’s failed to connect with voters in any meaningful way, and she knows that a debate is her only shot at getting her message out. But even in a debate setting, Harris’s weak performance would likely do her more harm than good. She’s asking for a debate because she’s desperate, but Trump doesn’t need to give her that lifeline.
The Bigger Picture: Harris Can’t Lead
If Harris can’t handle a scripted dinner, how is she supposed to handle real crises on the world stage? How does she expect people to believe she can negotiate with foreign leaders like China’s Xi Jinping, Russia’s Vladimir Putin, or Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei? If she’s too afraid to make jokes at a charity event, what happens when the stakes are much higher?
Harris is proving, once again, that she’s not up for the challenge of the presidency. She’s hiding from the American people because she knows that the more we see of her, the less we like her. It’s a cowardly move from a candidate who is supposed to be running on transparency and leadership.
The truth is, Kamala Harris isn’t skipping the Al Smith Dinner because of “scheduling conflicts.” She’s skipping it because she’s terrified of being exposed for who she really is—an unqualified, weak candidate who isn’t ready to lead this country.
Final Thoughts
Kamala Harris’s decision to skip the Al Smith Dinner isn’t just a small blip on the campaign trail—it’s a clear sign of a candidate who is terrified of being exposed. She’s hiding from the spotlight, and her campaign is doing everything it can to protect her from situations where her weaknesses could be laid bare. But Harris can’t hide forever. The American people are paying attention, and they deserve better.

Satan would not like it glad the vile evil would not attend the dinner they would have to bless the place and pray to whole time she was present
