At the Al Smith dinner, Donald delivered an embarrassing collection of “jokes,” some he seemingly ad libbed as they were clearly over the line. A few were so wildly inappropriate in fact, many in the audience booed, something that has happened only once before at an Al Smith dinner.
Donald called Hillary “crooked,” talked viciously about her emails and just was not able to let go of his rage, remarking that, “Here she is pretending not to hate Catholics.” At that moment, even Cardinal Dolan turned his back to Trump.
Donald Trump was booed at a charity dinner Thursday night when he started joking about accusations that Hillary Clinton is corrupt.
.
“We’ve learned so much from WikiLeaks,” Trump said. “For example, Hillary believes that it’s vital to deceive the people by having one public policy and a totally different policy in private.”
.
The remark drew loud boos, to which Trump responded, “That’s OK. I don’t know who they’re angry at, Hillary, you or I.” . He prompted another round of loud boos when he said, “Here she is in public pretending not to hate Catholics."TRUMP’S REMARKS

Hillary, maintaining her composure and dignity, took to the podium and absolutely roasted Trump. In the spirit of the event, Hillary let loose with some hilarious, self deprecating lines and poked fun at Trump; showing once again, the best number for a woman is “45!”
You know what would be a good number for a woman, 45. ~Hillary.
