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.

Bush’s 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 Bush’s remarks.

I wouldn’t get on Yeb for that. It’s one of the saner things he’s said.

Will this be rammed over and over again as the 47% comment.... Of course not.... Not yet anyway

Which proves the old adage that the best way to p*$$ off a liberal is to tell them the truth . . .

[ObozoMustGo2012]

If Trump had said this??? Ohhhhh boy, the media and the Uniparty would run with it through Nov. 2016!

Sounds like some gibmedats have a guilty conscience. Always wanting sumtin for doing nuffin.

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.

Free stuff remarks provoking anger now didn't provoke any MSM coverage or anger just a few (videos)...Obama did offer free things to his base...

[Psalm 144]

Agreed, and I detest the man.

[Awgie]

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.

Thousands of people lined up Monday morning for the chance to apply for low-cost, government-subsidized housing in the city of Norwalk, CA.

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

[tflabo]

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.

He blurted out the truth.
I never pictured Jeff as a firebug...but there he is....burning his bridges behind him.

[circlecity]

What doesn’t “invoke anger from African Americans”?

[toddausauras]

Guarantee you Trump is going to pounce on this.
