What happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas.

WASHINGTON -- A Las Vegas campaign event for GOP presidential contender Jeb Bush came to a sudden end this week as activists, unhappy with how Bush addressed a question on racial injustice, chanted, "Black Lives Matter."

After the confrontation, the Bush campaign said the candidate had privately met with advocates for the movement before the event, an assertion that appeared in multiple articles about the disruption.

But that description is misleading, The Huffington Post has learned.

There was a meeting, but no activists from the Black Lives Matter movement participated. Instead, Bush met with a local elected official, a GOP lobbyist and a staffer from an anti-poverty organization.

1. No one from BLM spoke up and denied John Ellis' campaign's assertion?

I wonder why?

2. Dang, I really wanted to ask Jeb! what exactly they discussed

Now that we all know it was a lie, we can't embarrass him by asking for details.

I also wanted to ask Yeb! what his last name is. He seems to have forgotten.

3. Well heck, a lie won't stop a Republic0n for giving details.

It never has before.
