Jeb Bush gets the Bernie Sanders treatment and is forced to abandon rally early after activists start chanting 'Black Lives Matter' Former governor of Florida was holding a town hall meeting in Las Vegas After answering the question, an advocate began chanting the slogan He quickly left without making a final statement or meeting the audience
Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush has been forced to abandon a rally early because of a protest from Black Lives Matter.
The former governor of Florida was in Las Vegas for a town hall meeting on Wednesday when he answered a question on racial inequality.
An advocate in the crowd of around 150 then started to chant their slogan, so he quickly ended his speech and left the venue without making a final statement or shaking hands with members of the audience.
The music he plays when he walks off stage is heard in the background of a video as the civil rights group keep shouting the mantra. t comes just four days after Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders suffered the same fate because of the group's actions during an appearance in Seattle.
In the past week members have also turned up to one of Hillary Clinton's events.
Bush was asked about the racial disparities in the criminal justice system that have been exaggerated by black men being killed by white police officers.
He said that 'these problems have gotten worse in the last few years' and that communities 'no longer trust the basic institutions in our society that they need to trust,' according to CNN.
The GOP prospect then said 'perception becomes reality, and there really is racism in America'.
Bush has received criticism from the Black Lives Matter movement.
He backed Democratic presidential candidate Martin O'Malley for telling protesters that 'all lives matter.'

Now you are seeing one of the effects of electing a black community organizer from Chicago. Unfortunately, race matters it is only the bemused white that thinks otherwise.

As things go forward, Trump can use his hospitality-management experience to make all rallies closed except to registered donor/ticketholders only, with small side rooms containing closed-circuit television and snacks for others. Any groups who arrive with signs, matching t-shirts, backpacks or large cameras can be broken up into the small side rooms by the gatekeepers, and never let into the main auditorium.
Changing Tagline.
Provide the guards with nets.
Jeb needs to man up and face down the thugs.
He can call the police on them for a start - and have them arrested.
It’s NOT 1964 and these jerks aren’t members of SNCC sitting nonviolently at a lunch counter. Time for everyone to grow up and get real.
That’s a mistake. Somehow I think a Scott Walker event would just continue on - he has the cahones and the experience to handle the most obnoxious protesters.
Actually, Medea Benjamin, head of Code Pink, often had on-street debates with members of the DC Chapter at Walter Reed and at the nearby military recruiting center and other venues freeped by the DC Chapter. She is almost never a raving lunatic, but a pleasant-seeming old hippie who provides cover for the uglier and nastier underlings in her organization. She often appeared on O'Reilly to give her opinion on the Iraq War, usually with smiles and a slightly daffy manner, disgusing her scam. She and her husband are radical shake-down artists.
I certainly agree with you about Ted Cruz! What a mind!
Low T manlet.
And if physical confrontation cannot be avoided?
“We are in the early stages of a coming Social War. “
Would this be so bad? Would the pendulum swing back to the right?
Not if we lose. In either case the Republic is on its last legs. The goal now is survival not the type of government under which we live.
Security guards with nets, sort of like a full-body condom. Lower one over each infiltrator and take them down, then tie the drawstring at the bottom. Load them out in a cart and process them outside.
Brass knuckles may be less cumbersome. Chuckle!
Good grief.
