Jeb Bush to visit Charleston next week to meet with pastors

Source: Yahoo! News / Reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Jeb Bush, a Republican contender for president, will sit down with pastors on a visit on Monday to Charleston, South Carolina, where nine African-Americans were shot to death at a historic black church, his campaign said on Friday.

Bush, the former Florida governor who leads many polls of Republican voters in the race for the party's 2016 presidential nomination, had canceled a planned campaign stop in Charleston a week ago when the shootings took place.

Instead of a campaign event, Bush will hold a private session with pastors from the Charleston community. In an attempt to keep the session low key, the news media will not be allowed in.

Bush has vowed to campaign in places where Republicans have not always gone in recent years, such as black churches and impoverished neighborhoods.

That's what his handlers say publicly.

Jeb doesn't want any of the press to hear any questions asked of him about why in 1994 he said he would do "probably nothing" for African Americans.

Stay away from Charleston, Mr. Bush. The very sight of you would rival the pain of an bulging abscess.

there. She had been campaigning the morning of the shooting in Charleston and Rev. Pinckney was with her, as he was a Clinton supporter.
