O’Reilly Slams Clinton, Trump over Al Smith Dinner: ‘They Embarrassed Cardinal Dolan’

[excerpt]
"The Al Smith dinner is sponsored by the Catholic Archdiocese of New York, primarily to raise money for poor children. Last night the charity broke a record, raising more than $6 million. That’s the good news. The bad news is the keynote speakers - Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump - were way too harsh and they embarrassed Cardinal Timothy Dolan. It’s supposed to be a light-hearted night, but last night it was nasty. Donald Trump said this: ‘Hillary believes that it’s vital to deceive the people by having one public policy and a totally different policy in private ... For example, here she is tonight, in public, pretending not to hate Catholics.’ Wow. That stunned the crowd. So I was expecting Secretary Clinton to seize the moment and be gracious, which would have helped her. But Mrs. Clinton did not do that. Among her comments: ‘Donald looks at the Statue of Liberty and sees a four, maybe a five if she loses the torch and tablet and changes her hair.’ What Trump and Clinton did was more like a roast, not an amiable benefit. I was about five feet away from them and it was clear to me that neither wanted to be at the event. It was also clear that they despise each other at a level rarely seen in national politics. This incident will pass, it’s not anything that will linger. But for me as a voter, I have to question the judgment here. Both candidates had their scripts written for them, yet they chose to go the hard way. Why? Judgment is important for a president."
