Kamala Harris reportedly berates campaign manager for advising against attending Al Smith dinner
The Express Tribune ^ | 10/18/24 | The Express Tribune

Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly erupted in a furious tirade against her campaign manager, Julie Chávez, this morning.

According to a source cited by X (formerly Twitter) user @joma_gc, Harris angrily berated Chávez for over 30 minutes during a phone call. Chávez had advised Harris not to attend the Al Smith Dinner, concerned that associating with Catholic figures might alienate LGBTQ and pro-abortion voters.

Instead, Chávez suggested Harris send a pre-recorded video message to the 79th Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, a bipartisan event where presidential candidates traditionally attend in person. By skipping the dinner, Harris became the first nominee to miss the event in 40 years.

Former President Donald Trump, who attended the dinner as the featured speaker, seized the opportunity to mock Harris for her absence, increasing the pressure on her campaign.

During the heated exchange, Harris allegedly called Chávez "inept," "horrible at your f-ing job," and blamed her for potentially jeopardizing the campaign. Chávez, reportedly in tears, faced harsh criticism as Harris expressed frustration over what she described as “stupid advice.”

Julie Chávez Rodriguez, 46, is Harris' campaign manager, having transitioned from her role in President Joe Biden’s 2024 re-election campaign.

“ I am a little surprised. There is no political advantage to insulting a large voting block like Catholics

If Catholics could be persuaded to vote as a block, no president could ever be elected without the Catholic vote.”

Let me say a few things about my Catholic brethren

They vote 50% democrat in just about every presidential election.

Divide Catholics into practicing and non church going. Catholics are never non Catholic but they might not go to church, recollect the tenets of the faith or vote non abortion. How many of those latter attend the Al Smith dinner? Pro life is likely not a topic of discussion there

Al Smith was a democrat governor of NY and a Democrat presidential candidate

But no one misses the Al Smith dinner.

“I don’t recall his mocking her.”

He actually did mock her and mocked her brilliantly. He said he could understand why she didn’t attend the dinner because she was “receiving communion from Gretchen Whitmer.”

That’s why I didn’t recall it. He said straight out she was rude for missing it

I would have reported he said she should have been there

Also wondering who was the insider who convinced Harris that Walz was better than Shapiro, or if she f’d that one herself.

“She grew up in California in a well-known family of American labor and civil rights activists, the granddaughter of American labor leader César Chávez and American labor activist Helen Fabela Chávez.”

So, Julie was a red diaper doper baby, the fruit of commie parents. If CommieLa can’t get along with Chávez, imagine the staff turmoil that would result in the White House if CommieLa were elected.

I have had enough of this. Do with me what you will. Post after post griping/complaining about Kamala insulting catholics. What do catholics do about it? Many still vote Democrat. No one ever truthfully explains WHY they do that nor do the catholics hit the streets in protest. If one were to insult muslims, there would be riots. It makes absolutely no sense. Either put up or shut up.

Definitely an unforced error for Kommy-La.

Somebody over thought her attendance at this campaign event.

Not just that - she is uncomfortable being around God and His people.

She prefers to be in the midst of the godless, the lost and the satanic - that is her most comfortable zone. She would have been completely out of her element to be around people who worship God.

She can spin it any way she wants - the bottom and absolute line is that she didn’t want to be around Christians and Catholics. She prefers to be with her people who openly mock God.

THAT is why she didn’t go. This ‘blaming her campaign manager’ is just a way for that wh*re to avoid admitting the real reason she refused to go.

And that SNL alum- her career is over now. SHE is over now and I am sure she knows it. Satan awaits.

I’m Catholic. “Offended” is a word overused by weak simpering people these days. Disrespectful, inappropriate, not even a little funny, and monumentally stupid and juvenile are the terms I would use

“”””” Chávez had advised Harris not to attend the Al Smith Dinner, concerned that associating with Catholic figures might alienate LGBTQ and pro-abortion voters.”””””

I hope all stories reporting this mention that reason and that all Catholics and other Christian voters see it.
