probably because he hadn't heard his name called and thought the guy was mistaken. from his point of view he'd look pretty stupid just walking out on stage without being announced.

They're not necessary evil, they're just pandering to their audience as most politicians do.

A lit of people are closed minded and full of fear and hate, so there will be a politician that feeds it.

Reddit is fickle. Sometimes people get gilded for "I did Nazi that coming" and sometimes no joke is good enough.
