Protesters interrupt Jeb Bush's speech to Hispanics

Source: Politico

Protesters interrupted Jeb Bush's keynote address to the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce's annual convention in Houston on Monday.

Bush began his speech, honoring three female Hispanic entrepreneurs, with a declaration that "energy" and "creativity" and "drive" are the only things that matter in building a business.

"Nothing else matters. Not race or ethnicity, not gender, nothing else should. I, for one, am kind of tired about how we figure out ways to break ourselves up in our disparate parts," the former Florida governor said.

As Bush finished his sentence, a group began to chant, "no hope without our vote!" in reference to the notion that a Republican cannot become president without winning over Hispanics.

We just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed your energy and drive speech to those people. Now on a personal note I want you to know I just won a really old $1 bet with some of the older members here at the club. "go with the Forbes kid" some said, others were sure the Danforth kid was a sure match with your father, I stuck with you even over your brother. He did fine, we got most of the market back at pennies on the dollar, but I saw something special in you all those years ago. And that creativity bit, coming from you, that was the bees knees.
