Yes, she did. It's the Al Smith Dinner - speakers there are supposed to poke fun at themselves and at others.

Some quotes from presidents who have attended:

“I’m not doing so bad. I mean, at this point in his administration, William Henry Harrison had been dead for sixty-eight days!” (President Bill Clinton)

“It’s been quite a year … lots of ups, lots of downs. Except for my approval ratings, which have just gone down.” (President Barack Obama)

“I always look forward to these dinners where I’m supposed to be funny — intentionally.” (President George W. Bush)

It's that dinner where everyone roasts everyone. Surely you must remember this one

Obviously she doesn’t do self-deprecating, Dem deprecating, or GOPe deprecating—only Trump admin deprecating.

The Al Smith dinner is an annual political event that is known for some pretty sharp jabs at both sides.
