Black Lives Matter protesters punctuated the conclusion of Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush’s town hall meeting in Las Vegas Wednesday, chanting the familiar slogan as the former Florida governor exited the room earlier than usual.

The tone apparently began turning when Bush was asked questions relating to race.

Asked about his views on how blacks are treated in the criminal justice system and by police, Bush acknowledged there is racism in America and “these problems have gotten worse in the last few years,” adding that those affected “no longer trust the basic institutions in our society that they need to trust,” CNN reported.

After he was asked how he relates to those experiencing these problems, Bush brought up his White House campaign.

“I relate to it by running for president to try and create a climate where there is civility and understanding and to encourage mayors, leaders at the local level to engage so that there is not despair and isolation in communities,” he said.
