A man in a makeshift mosquito costume protested for a clean bill to combat the Zika virus outside the Capitol on Wednesday.

“They can’t be using babies as bargaining chips,” said the man, who wouldn’t give his name, but added that he was not affiliated with any organization.

“I’m an expecting parent. And my wife and I have already had a Zika test. Thankfully, it was negative. But it was a terrifying experience. And Congress needs to act before more parents go through that,” he said.
