When Lauren Batchelder questioned GOP frontrunner Donald Trump at the “No Labels” conference, the story went viral.

News outlets reported it as a confrontation about women’s rights. Batchelder asked whether she, under a Trump presidency, would make the same as a man, and if women would have the “right to control their bodies.”

Trump’s senior advisor Daniel Scavino first noticed that Batchelder is a Jeb Bush supporter.

Batchelder posted the story on her Facebook page:
