Jeb Bush smeared with nonexistent quote about minorities and welfare [video]

That doesn’t sound like something Jeb Bush would say, especially if he has his eye on a 2016 run.

@MarcACaputo @ringoffireradio I'd be shocked if he said something like that. Him of all people?

Mike Papantonio of Ring of Fire Radio offers a link to OnTheIssues.org as proof.

The problem: that quote doesn’t appear anywhere on the page, nor does the word “minorities.”

@MarcACaputo It would appear some libs are starting to fear a Jeb bush candidacy.

@Matthops82 If you know how to read, I suggest you take a look – http://t.co/77nF7iufsM

Classy. Again, if you know how to read and how to search a web page, you’ll pretty quickly find that quote doesn’t exist.

@ringoffireradio @Matthops82 What a liar you are. You need to go back on and apologize. Jeb never said anything close. You're despicable.

@Matthops82 but @ringoffireradio demonstrates the Harry Reid defamation style of argument. Democrats can't defend their failures so…lie.

@SPQRzilla @Matthops82 I'm assuming you didn't read the article. Don't have time to argue with idiots, goodbye

@ringoffireradio I read the article. Its spin still didn't support your lie @Matthops82

If anyone can find an actual link to that quote, let us know and we’ll update the headline.
