**Jim Gaffigan's Scathing Roasts of Kamala Harris and Democrats at Al Smith Dinner Go Viral**

Comedian Jim Gaffigan set social media ablaze with his sharp critiques of Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party during the Al Smith Dinner in Manhattan. Gaffigan's biting humor caught the attention of many, with some observers suggesting that his jokes symbolized the "murder of an entire political party."

The event, often dubbed the Catholic Met Gala, saw Gaffigan questioning Harris's absence. "Twenty-two percent of Americans identify as Catholic. Catholics will be a key demographic in every battleground state. I'm sorry, why is Vice President Harris not here?" he quipped, noting Harris's decision to skip the dinner, the first such absence by a presidential candidate in 40 years.

Seated near Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and former President Donald Trump, Gaffigan drew hearty laughs as he mocked Harris for prioritizing appearances on other platforms like the sex-focused podcast "Call Her Daddy" over the Al Smith Dinner. "This is a room full of Catholics and Jews in New York City. This is a layup for the Democratic nominee," he pointed out.

Gaffigan listed Harris’s other media engagements, including shows like "The View," Howard Stern, and Colbert, before jesting, "You know what I think it is? I think she doesn't like me. Chuck, do I have bad breath?"

The comedian didn't stop there. He also jested about the Democrats' perceived desperation to avoid a Trump comeback, suggesting that they might prefer Harris over President Biden. "The Democrats have been telling us Trump's reelection is a threat to democracy. In fact, they were so concerned of this threat, they staged a coup, ousted their democratically elected incumbent and installed Kamala Harris," he remarked. He humorously credited Harris’s apparent luck to prayer, adding, "Sometimes prayers take three-and-half years and a George Clooney op-ed."

The remarks quickly trended on social media, with many users reiterating that the humor stemmed from harsh truths. One tweet humorously read, "Hello 911, I'd like to report the murder of an entire political party." Another noted, "Breaking: Jim Gaffigan just lost all of his future comedy specials on Netflix," while yet another chimed in saying, "Jim Gaffigan just called out the coup against Biden, Schumer crapped his pants, Trump smiled, and now we know why Kamala didn't show up!"
