NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. — Some conservatives seem to be planning to walk out during New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

A journalist for The Daily Beast snapped a photo of the one of the protesters ahead of Christie’s speech.

It wasn’t immediately clear how many attendees of CPAC planned to walk out during the speech.

Update: The protest appeared to be a handful of attendees, as the room stayed full for Christie’s speech.
