The protesters’ appearance marked the first of its kind directed at a GOP candidate following demonstrations at events featuring Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is running as a Democrat. Bush reportedly left the event in North Las Vegas without his customary closing statement.

According to the Times, dozens of protesters associated with the movement began chanting “black lives matter” during the event with their hand raised. Two other demonstrators were kicked out at the start of the town hall when they used the same chant. The progressive Netroots Nation conference stated on its Facebook page late Wednesday night that the group also contained Planned Parenthood supporters and immigration activists.

Jeb Meets With Black Lives Matter RepsFormer Florida Gov. Jeb Bush met with Black Lives Matter advocates Wednesday ahead of a town-hall event in Las Vegas, according to a statement from his campaign. The Republican presidential candidate discussed his commitment to criminal-justice reform, his campaign said. Bush “listened to the group and they discussed barriers to upward mobility in this country, and ways to overcome them as a community by starting to get a few things right in government,” the statement said. Bush was reportedly asked about racial inequality at a North Las Vegas event Wednesday evening, before audience members broke out into a “Black Lives Matter” chant at the end of the gathering.

That's why Cigar posted it.

If it were accurate he would have ignored it.

BLM Activist Charged With Sex Trafficking
May 21, 2016 - Charles Wade, a member of the Black Lives Matter movement who was vocal during Ferguson protests, was arrested and charged in Maryland with prostitution and human trafficking last month.


Charles Wade, a fashion stylist turned consultant, was charged April 25 with four counts of prostitution and three counts of human trafficking. Wade, 33, is using social media to dispute the charges. An undercover officer responded to an advertisement on a website often used for sex trafficking, and set up a meeting at a Howard Johnson Inn in College Park, Md., according to police. After he identified himself to a girl, 17, who met him, she told him Wade was her “manager,” according to the charging documents.

In a statement posted to Wade’s Twitter account, he says he was asked to temporarily house the girl, whom he believed to be 20. He redeemed his hotel reward points to get her a room. A few hours later, she was arrested. “As the person who booked, paid for, checked in with government issued identification, I was also arrested as I was walking to store on about a half dozen charges related to her activities and arrest,” Wade said in his statement.

He posted his $25,000 bail two days after his arrest. “This situation in no way should reflect on the movement or anyone else in the movement other than myself,” Wade said. “Ultimately, I had the final decision on moving forward with housing her and putting my name on the line. And ultimately, the embarrassment now caused and whatever consequences there may be are solely mine.” Wade runs Operation Help or Hush, an organization created during the Ferguson protests focused on building an infrastructure of support for protests to continue, including raising money to feed and temporarily house protesters.
