Vice President Kamala Harris recently showcased her comedic side in a video message created for the Al Smith charity dinner. The video featured a skit with the character Mary Katherine Gallagher, portrayed by actress and comedian Molly Shannon, known for her appearances on Saturday Night Live.
Harris, unable to attend the dinner in person, engaged in a humorous exchange with Gallagher. The skit included references to the former President Donald Trump and his controversial statements about the 2020 election results.
During the video, Gallagher advised Harris not to lie, humorously citing the commandment against bearing false witness. Harris cleverly responded by mentioning the presence of a fact-checker at the event, jokingly identified as Jesus.
The skit also touched on the importance of avoiding negative remarks about Catholics, with Harris emphasizing her respect for all communities. She concluded the video with a heartfelt message about the charitable work of the Catholic Church and the significance of setting aside partisanship for a common cause.
Quoting the Gospel of Luke, Harris highlighted the power of faith in bringing light to darkness and fostering peace. She urged unity and understanding across divides, echoing the spirit of the Al Smith dinner in promoting a better future through faith and collaboration.
