Hard to describe without a massive essay, so I'll take the easy route: Because by making a sacrifice* and attending a 'mainstream' event he will have been seen to not be dicking about and there will have been no story.

As clinical (cynical?) as it sounds, when you want to lead, you have to have a sense of what things look like, not just what they are. The group in question seems to be a bunch of irreviant satirist pranksters, poking fun at the 'jewish establishment' - which is kinda cool and I bet they are good craic, but hanging out with them when embroiled in accusations of leading a party that has problems with anti semitism seems to be a bit....like dicking about.
