Though they were guest speakers at an annual benefit dinner in New York, rival U.S. presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump had few charitable things to say about each other a day after facing off in a rancorous debate.
“Here she is, pretending not to hate Catholics,” Republican nominee Trump said of his Democratic opponent, at the white-tie event hosted by the Roman Catholic Diocese of New York.
The barb drew gasps from some of the 1,500 guests at the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner. So did Trump’s charge that “Hillary is so corrupt.”  Clinton dished, too. She took aim at Trump for judging women on appearance.
“People look at the Statue of Liberty and they see a proud symbol of our history as a nation of immigrants, a beacon of hope for people around the world,” she said. “Donald looks at the Statue of Liberty and sees a 4 – maybe a 5 if she loses the torch and the tablet and changes her hair.”
