Watch: Donald Trump gets booed as he slams ‘corrupt’ Hillary Clinton at awkward charity dinner
The candidates appeared onstage together and traded barbs in their speeches before shaking hands – but some guests took issue with the Republican’s jokes
Donald Trump said he was in a room full of wonderful people at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in New York.
“Or as Hillary calls it, her largest crowd of her season,” he said with a chuckle, as Democratic rival Hillary Clinton laughed, too. “This is corny stuff.”
But as it progressed, Trump’s speech turned more biting.
Here she is in public pretending not to hate Catholics
“Here she is in public pretending not to hate Catholics,” he said. Several in the crowd booed.
Jokes that seemed better placed at his roiling and adoring rallies set the heavily Clinton-leaning crowd on edge.
“Hillary is so corrupt she got kicked off the Watergate commission,” Trump declared.
“Booooo!” the agitated crowd called back.
