ICYMI: This weekend, Kamala Harris sent a clear message with her announcement that she will not attend the annual Al Smith charity dinner, hosted by the Archbishop of New York.

Skipping the Al Smith Charity Dinner, a longstanding tradition benefiting Catholic Charities, shows her priorities lie elsewhere. A clear poke in the eye to Catholic voters, and a risky move when recent polls indicate Kamala Harris is trailing President Donald J. Trump by nearly ten points among Catholic voters.

This is the first time since 1984 that a presidential candidate has refused the invitation. Harris's absence is more than just a scheduling conflict—it highlights a deeper problem. Her radical policies clash with core Catholic beliefs, and her history of bigoted rhetoric and Catholicphobic opinions further alienates Catholic voters- and she knows it. 

Her Record Speaks for itself: Bigoted Kamala Harris and her long history of faith-based discrimination

• Kamala Harris has repeatedly attacked the Knights of Columbus, the largest Catholic fraternal organization with over 2 million members and $1.5 billion raised for charity in the past decade.
• Kamala led a bigoted anti-catholic campaign against Brian Buescher's nomination to the U.S. District Court for Nebraska, citing his ties to the Knights of Columbus.
• Not only was this public attack on Catholicism wrong- it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
• Kamala Harris doesn't think any person whose religious views are in conflict with her personal ideologies are fit to serve public office… In short, Kamala Harris does not believe in the Constitution. 
• She sponsored legislation aimed at shutting down charitable Catholic organizations like the Little Sisters of the Poor for refusing to conform to radical leftist beliefs on gender identity.
• Harris supported the Equality Act, which would force religious institutions, including churches, to compromise their core beliefs or lose their religious rights.
• As California attorney general, she got a law passed requiring pro-life pregnancy centers to "promote abortion,"—many of which are Catholic or Christian—undermining their faith-based mission.
• In 2015, Kamala Harris used her power as California attorney general to put six Catholic hospitals out of business.
  

It's no wonder Harris is avoiding the dinner—her views stand in direct opposition to the very values the event and its attendees hold dear.
