Throughout Jeff’s over 20 years touring America with his ventriloquist characters, he has used these characters as somewhat of a shield. Rather than being forced to share his own views, like many standup comedians, Jeff is able to share perspectives through the voices of characters he creates. Many of these puppets make fun of disenfranchised populations, but just because Jeff’s characters make fun of certain people doesn’t mean that Jeff feels the same way.
Many comedians create personas to mock a certain idea or perspective, like Stephen Colbert’s alter ego on The Colbert Report, in which he played a staunchly conservative version of himself to mock conservative politics. However, the difference with Jeff is that his audience is much whiter, much more conservative, and much more middle America. There are few people laughing at themselves in the audience, but rather laughing at the stereotypes Jeff is openly mocking.
From this fact alone, it’s easy to surmise that Jeff leans to the right in his political party. And to solidify this, Jeff said he supported then presidential candidate Donald Trump in a 2015 interview with FOX News Talk Radio, in which he shared he’d “rather have the crazy one, the one who has run businesses and succeeded than the one who really didn’t do anything.” He went on to say it annoyed him when people supported Hillary because she’s a woman.
