Trump's and Clinton's best jokes and jabs at Al Smith dinner

 

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton on Thursday exchanged several playful jabs as the pair delivered their jokes at the annual Alfred E. Smith Dinner in New York.

 

Here are some of the best lines of the night from both sides.

 

Trump hits media for bolstering Clinton

 

“Hillary got the chance to meet my campaign manager and I got the chance to meet the people working so hard to get her elected. There they are — the heads of NBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, there’s the New York Times right there and the Washington Post."

Trump's Al Smith Dinner Speech Gets Too Political, Draws Boos

 

We knew it was going to be awkward. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were tasked with sitting just one seat apart from each other at the Al Smith dinner in New York City just 24 hours after their third and final presidential debate. The annual event was created to benefit Catholic charities.

 

The dinner started great. The chairman of the event, Alfred E. Smith IV, had a contagious sense of humor and noted that this year's dinner broke a fundraising record. It was smiles all around. When he handed the microphone off to Donald Trump, the GOP nominee started off with some seriously funny jabs. He threw some harmless jokes Clinton's way, noting this must be the biggest crowd she's drawn all year. Trump's home run moment, though, was when he snuck in a jab at his wife Melania for her RNC speech, parts of which turned out to be copied from an old Michelle Obama speech. That joke, he said, was bound to get him in trouble when he gets home.

Trump and Clinton launch attacks at uncharacteristically dour Al Smith Dinner

 

The Al Smith Dinner has traditionally provided presidential candidates with the opportunity to playfully jab one another in the campaign's final days, but Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton used the opportunity to launch attacks and attracted some boo-birds.

 

Rather than making many self-deprecating jokes at the white-tie affair, Trump and Clinton battled each other head on in their respective speeches. Trump took the microphone first and began by making light of his wife's speech at the GOP convention and about Clinton's alleged misdeeds as secretary of state.

 

But he soon trained his fire on Clinton and drew the ire of the crowd.

 

"Hillary is so corrupt, she got kicked off the Watergate Commission," Trump said as the boos rained down. "How corrupt do you have to be to get kicked off the Watergate Commission? Pretty corrupt."
