Private security guards outside of the Conservative Political Action Conference threatened to arrest attendees who had gone outside the hotel to observe a union-organized protest of CPAC.

“Be good conservatives and go inside,” one guard shouted at attendees watching as D.C. police pushed back protestors who tried to approach the hotel after rallying on the street. The guard said they were clearing the outside of the hotel of all people whether they were union protestors or CPAC attendees.

Video to come.
