Donald Trump's Alfred E. Smith dinner roast of her went 'too far,' says Hillary Clinton, and that's why guests shouted him down.

Clinton and Trump sat a a seat away from each other, with the Archbishop of New York acting as a go-between, at the glitzy Manhattan dinner last Thursday.

The evening before Trump had called Clinton a 'nasty woman' to her face at the third and final presidential debate. The tension between them Thursday was palpable.

At another face-off, a town hall style clash the week before in St. Louis, Trump followed Clinton around the stage as she spoke to undecided voters.

Clinton told a radio show host that his behavior was 'unusual' - he 'just was walking in circles, lurking behind me – it took a lot of concentration.'

The Democratic presidential candidate joked as she has in recent days that her four and a half hours on the stage with Trump proves she has the 'stamina' to man the Oval Office.

Clinton taped an interview with Sam Sylk of Cleveland's WZAK 93.1 that was scheduled to air Monday morning on the Ohio station as she traveled to New Hampshire for a rally with Elizabeth Warren.

Sylk told her as interview began, 'I’m pumped up on why to vote.'

Clinton replied, 'Well, that makes one of us.' Responding to the awkward comment, the radio host said, according to a transcript, 'Yeah, makes one of us, huh? Okay...'

The radio show host went on to ask Clinton about Trump's numerous claims that the election is being 'rigged' through fraud and media bias.

The Republican has indicated that he's likely to contest the outcome if Clinton is declared the winner.

'That is horrifying. And so I’m hoping that everybody, no matter what the issue is you care about, turns out and votes and repudiates that kind of attack on our fundamental institutions,' Clinton told Sylk.

Clinton used the topic as a jumping off point for an attack on Trump's questioning of the legitimacy of sitting President Barack Obama and his lack of 'respect' for the officeholder.

'Donald Trump was behind continuing the racist lie about the President’s birth not being in the United States,' she told the black radio show host.

Trump and Clinton each had a chance to air their grievances from the dias in the dinner's custom. The billionaire went first, starting out strong with a joke about Clinton asking him for a 'pardon' after bumping into him

'Now it’s not just that he has attacked and denigrated our President, as well as women and African-Americans, Latinos, and POWs, and Muslims, and just about everybody else; he’s now attacking our democracy,' she said.

In the course of the interview he asked her about the Al Smith dinner, an annual Catholic charity event that attracts New York's most elite.

The billionaire went first, starting out strong with a joke about Clinton asking him for a 'pardon' after bumping into him and plummeting after he said his opponent 'hates Catholics' and called her 'corrupt.'

Attendees of the dinner booed him. Trump playfully said at one point he couldn't be sure whether they were yelling at him or Clinton and someone shouted, 'You.'

'They expressed their disapproval during his presentation,' Clinton said on Sylk's show, per a transcript of the interview that was provided to her traveling press corps.

'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.'

Some of Clinton's jokes were quite harsh, too, yet she was not booed.
