Some people were not happy after presidential candidate Jeb Bush told a group in South Carolina Thursday night that Republicans can win more African-American voters with a message of positivity than with one that promises free stuff. The remarks, reported first by the Washington Post, echoed those by Mitt Romney in 2012 that sparked criticism at the time.
Bushs campaign event Thursday drew a largely white audience, according to the New York Times, and his comments came in response to a question about how he would appeal to African-American voters. The phrase free stuff was trending on Twitter Friday morning and had been transformed into a hashtag as many tweeted and commented angrily in response to Bushs remarks.

It must be painful for the MSM to have to somewhat ignore something so juicy as they try to get him to be the GOP nominee.

Careful Jebby boy, you might appear harsh and mean spirited. Your joyful persona will quickly be forgotten as the media leaps to label you as a mean old white guy.

It is too early for the MSM to get on Jeb’s case. They need to prop him up at this point.

What they really need is free, non-government job handouts.
Here— have a job free and clear. Just show up and start working to be a success.
