TAMPA, Fla. -- After protesting on the floor at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday, Ron Paul delegates on Wednesday accused convention security guards of confiscating their signs in support of the former presidential candidate in order to bolster the image of official nominee Mitt Romney.
Mike Zentz, an alternate delegate for Paul from Honolulu, told The Huffington Post that private security guards hired by the convention first told Paul's legion of supporters that "all outside signs" were prohibited from being brought into the Tampa Bay Times Forum. But as soon as the guards crossed the entry point, scores of convention volunteers were handing out signs in support of Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan.
According to Zentz, one Nevada delegate managed to make it past the guards with a paper sign, no more than two feet in length, and held it proudly when a camera zoomed in on the state's delegation during Tuesday's roll call vote to formally nominate Romney.
