Guests at CPAC’s Criminal Justice Reform panel were unpleasantly surprised by two Occupy Wall Street demonstrators who took the stage with a large banner stating something to the effect of “disenfranchisement is racism.” One confused panelist quickly defused the situation by announcing, “I think you just occupied the wrong room.”
The demonstration was meant to disrupt the CPAC panel addressing Voter-ID laws to be held immediately afterwords. The protesters, however, didn’t bother coming back for the voter-ID panel.
