Click the above link to see some local SC news commentary on the cost and the nature of access to getting tickets to the debate.
‘Sponsorship ranges from $1,750 to $3,200 each for attendance to multiple “First in the South” events.’
Each of the candidates WAS given a range of tickets to give to staff members too.
I can’t properly guess who was booing.
Some of the boos were just absurd though.
Boos at asking for Tax returns.
Boos at questioning Bloomberg about ‘Kill It’ — not against Bloomberg, but against WARREN.
Boos at RAISING TEACHER WAGES from Bernie.
Just absurd things to get boos on.
This audience was seemingly not representative of the Democratic party at large.
And it didn’t seem like it was some local pro-Biden bias.
It was some very weird rich supporter bias.
And it was really ugly.
I’d be real interested in any follow up in how that happened, or was allowed to continue as it was.
Update 1:
The user Mallie provided the following link with more information:

Still not clear, but there is some denial on payments for tickets, but no retraction from the local live 5 news team. The story appears to be developing, and still in dispute. Thanks for that update!
