At least eight House Republicans went against House rules that require wearing masks on the House floor on Tuesday evening in defiance of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refusing to lift the mandate in the chamber despite updated new masking guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention saying that vaccinated people do not need to wear masks indoors.

At one point, Texas Reps. Louie Gohmert and Beth Van Duyne, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Florida Rep. Brian Mast, Virginia Rep. Bob Good, Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, Illinois Rep. Mary Miller, and South Carolina Rep. Ralph Norman gathered near the well of the House chatting maskless in between votes. North Carolina Rep. Madison Cawthorn, also part of that conversation, eventually joined them in taking off his mask.
