#BlackLivesMatter Protesters Disrupt Jeb Bush Town Hall in Las Vegas

HeadlineAug 13, 2015

In news from the campaign trail, Black Lives Matter protesters interrupted Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush’s town hall in Las Vegas, Nevada, Wednesday night. The group began chanting “Black Lives Matter” after a woman asked him about the disproportionate number of people of color killed by the police. As Bush quickly made his way to the door, some of the town hall attendees also began chanting “White Lives Matter.”

Protesters: “Black Lives Matter! Black Lives Matter! Black Lives Matter! Black Lives Matter!”
