Hillary Clinton told a radio interviewer that Donald Trump went "too far" with his biting monologue at last week's Al Smith charity dinner in New York.
"I've been to that event before, and it is an opportunity to raise millions of dollars for worthy causes, particularly for inner-city kids," Clinton said in a taped radio interview on WZAK in Cleveland. "And so the purpose of it is to have an evening of fun; some gentle jabs, and some jokes at each other's expense, including ones about yourself. And he just went over _ too far, and I think that was why people reacted so strongly."
The dinner, which had Clinton and Trump sitting one seat apart, was awkward, especially for Trump, who was booed at times.
Among Trump's jabs at the dinner, which raised money for Catholic charities: "Here she is tonight in public, pretending not to hate Catholics."
