Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., said during an interview on Tuesday that any potential disruptions from Democrats during President Donald Trump's address to Congress would play right into Trump's hands.
CNN host Kate Bolduan asked the lawmaker, "Do you think disruptions are what your constituents want, or do you think disruptions tonight plays into the president’s hands?"
"I think it will play into the president’s hands. I would hope we would not have disruptions. Have demonstrations, you can demonstrate. You know, I‘m a product of the '60s. I believe sit-ins were very effective. I have advocated us sitting in tonight, go, everybody show up. Get in your seats. And when he‘s introduced, sit in," Clyburn said.
"Don‘t demonstrate into his hands. But illustrate how displeased we are with this administration. And I believe that we could do that by sitting on our hands, rather than playing into his hands," he added.
