Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) dismissed the effect any protest will have on President Donald Trump‘s address to Congress Tuesday.

The speech will be Trump’s first to the chambers since taking office for the second time. Four Democratic senators are boycotting the speech, but House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) called for a “strong, determined, and dignified Democratic presence in the chamber” while Trump speaks. As a result, some lawmakers are protesting the president in other ways.
