Crossword Genius

Ancient Jew, tragic, you view as outspoken (8)

I believe the answer is:

sadducee

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ancient jew' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'tragic you view as outspoken' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'tragic' could be 'sad' (similar in meaning) and 'sad' is found in the answer.
'you' could be 'u' (homophones) and 'u' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sadducee that I've seen before include "Ancient Jew" , "Member of sect" .)
