Dam, my man got boo'd. Anyone know why people support Jeffries? Is it primarily zionists or what?

Looking for genuine information, because that Guy has the charisma of a ripped trash bag.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

Zionism.

The folks booing, clapping, & laughing are all Zionists.

Ok, you don't know that.

I guess I should've aske d if anyone KNOWS anyone that likes him, and do they say why?

~~Edit: to clarify, is this some sort ofzionism event he's at? Or ann event hosted by Israel?~~

Edit 2: it's a moderate Democrats PAC hosted event. I can surmise the kind of people that show up to that... Still don't know why people like Jeffries though

It could be a lot of things. Many events aren't open directly to the public. Sometime they fill seats by giving them away or giving priority access to certain groups or events. You don't generally have people walking up and buying ticket and even if you do it's not always shared in placed the average American would know to look. Best case, These are poli-sci students that went because a professor told them to.

My general guess is that on top of what I said above, this is simply an establishment event in an establishment town and so the audience is likely mostly establishment insiders and not the general people.
