Well, indeed, especially thy neighbors election results, Harris responded.

At another moment, Gallagher told Harris to not say anything negative about Catholics.

I would never do that no matter where I was.

That would be like criticizing Detroit, in Detroit, said Harris, in another dig at Trump.

Harris then got serious, saying that the dinner provided a rare opportunity to set aside partisanship.

Trump was attending the event in person, andattacked Harrisfor not doing so.

She shouldnt be allowed to do a video message.

They didnt give me the option of a video message, nor would I have done it.

This is very disrespectful to everyone involved.

She should be here, or lose the Catholic Vote!
