Mystery Entity Offers to Pay People to Attend Jeb Bush Rally in Iowa

Someone is paying people to attend a campaign event this afternoon for Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's lagging campaign. Or so claims a mysterious flyer that was allegedly circulated in Des Moines today.

The flyer, which was tweeted out by staffers for a rival campaign and super PAC on Monday, offers cash for individuals who show up to -- and sit through -- a Bush rally at an Embassy Suites in Des Moines, which began at noon Monday. Bush's campaign quickly denied on Twitter any connection to the flyer or the offer for cash, but did not respond to a VICE News request to discuss the incident Monday.

During the Bush event today, a heckler stood up and shouted: "We've been here for two and a half hours and haven't gotten paid yet! Where's that $50?"

The heckler was soon removed from the room, amid shouting from Bush supporters who began chanting: "Jeb! Jeb! Jeb!"

1. How embarrassing for the ultimate patrician

I was thinking he would still win the nomination until a week ago. He certainly has been a horrible candidate and the way Trump slapped him around certainly didn't help. What an embarrassment for one of the most snobbish, wealthy and insider families in the U.S. Oh well, there's always Kennebunkport and his massive trust fund to help wash away his misery.
