    Mate, your quoted text even calls both of them committee members. They were from the King George County Democratic Committee, which is compromised of… *drum roll*… constituents!

      Sure they are.

      But when you say constituent, you imply a random member of the public in the crowd.

      A committee member is at a peer-level. It hits harder when a peer drops the professionalism and the restraint and just lays it out like that…as opposed to some rando in the audience.

        Today in explaining to Americans how their own government works…

        They’re not peers - it’s a group of volunteers that supports the Democratic Party. If I lived in the US, I could join today and attend as a committee member. They hold no office or position and have no authority.
