Before a campaign meeting Thursday in Beaufort, South Carolina, with the Black Chamber of Commerce and the mayor, Yang popped in to say hello at a Jazzercise class in the building. When asked to join in, he stepped up, and a viral video (posted by Politico reporter Michael Kruse) was born.
Yang’s campaign manager Zach Graumann insisted on Twitter that “no one is having more fun” on the campaign trail than Yang.
