Most Democrats have a very stunted sense of humor. Of course, for decades now, they've been fed a constant diet of lame, boring political-oriented crap on late night television that supposedly passes for humor, so they don't have much appreciation for, or even recognition of, comedy.
Jerry Seinfeld delivered the commencement address at Duke University over the weekend, and for many in the media this was how the headlines looked:
Axios (@axios) ~ Students walk out ahead of Jerry Seinfeld's Duke University graduation speech as several commencements marked by moments of pro-Palestinian protest.

WOW ... REALLY ... a handful of students walked out on Jerry Seinfeld's speech because they are racist, anti-Semitic, terrorist-lovers, eh? This is national news because ... why?
USA TODAY (@USATODAY) ~ Duke University students walked out of Sunday's commencement as speaker Jerry Seinfeld was introduced. Seinfeld has been a vocal Israel supporter.

Students did walk out ahead of Seinfeld's commencement address, but the number was relatively small -- just a little over two dozen.
Democrat Sen. John Fetterman has been great on the issue of Israel, and he's adding calling out the media to his repertoire:
Senator John Fetterman (@SenFettermanPA) ~ 30 out of 7,000 students walked out.
That’s 0.43%.
Why does the media habitually platform this fringe?
Guaranteed coverage is the nicotine to the pup tent campus intifada and Hamas salutes them all.
"Journalism" never fails!
Axios and USA Today ~
Super Journalist (Ret) (@Magnum_CK) ~ Even Fetterman can see that “journalists” take non-newsworthy occurrences and inflate them into national “news.”
Seinfeld delivered a great speech so naturally many in media would rather focus on a couple dozen graduates who thought they were making a point of some sort (they were, just not the one they thought).
Jason Scalese (@jason_scalese) ~ And the speech was very solid, on point for Jerry and nothing controversial at all IMO.
Maybe the people who walked out couldn't handle some reality checks.
Here are a couple clips of what 30 graduates didn't want to endure:
Townhall.com (@townhallcom) ~ Jerry Seinfeld: "Privilege today seems to be the worst thing you can have. I would like to take a moment to defend it!"

Townhall.com (@townhallcom) ~ Jerry Seinfeld: "I totally admire the ambitions of your generation to create a more just and inclusive society. I think it is also wonderful that you care so much about not hurting other people's feelings ... BUT ... It is worth the sacrifice of an occasional discomfort to have some laughs."

Apparently a few graduates thought it was not worth the sacrifice of an occasional discomfort.
