This campaign ad trivializes Catholicism, reducing it to a stereotype for political gain—disrespectful and divisive.

It’s Molly Shannon, this was a bit she did on SNL. I guess we lost her to the dems too.

Kamala Harris is torched for 'cringeworthy' and 'historically bad' pre-recorded Al Smith dinner video https://t.co/HtL6VU4ovR pic.twitter.com/6CR50xsZHp

Kamala Harris performed a bizarre prerecorded skit with a Saturday Night Live character instead of showing up at the Al Smith dinner.

The vice president was the first candidate to skip the Catholic pre-election fundraiser in 40 years, preferring to campaign in swing-state Wisconsin.

Harris instead appeared on screen in a three-and-a-half minute video with the help of SNL star Molly Shannon as her character Mary Katherine Gallagher.

The skit divided viewers, drawing cringes from even some of her supporters and scorn from Republicans, but others laughed at the jokes.
