\"BlogSunshineStateNews<\/b> – Over the last few weeks, protesters against President Donald Trump have been showing up at local Republican rallies in Northeast Florida.<\/p>\n

In Jacksonville, the Duval County GOP held a \u201cSpirit of America\u201d rally supporting Trump at the Jacksonville Landing. Two hundred Trump supporters appeared along with a handful of protesters who held up \u201cImpeach Trump\u201d signs. Talking with Sunshine State News, several of them identified themselves as being fans of former presidential candidate U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.<\/p>\n

Duval County GOP Chair Karyn Morton says she wasn\u2019t fazed by the protesters. \u201cWe expected them to show up, but it didn\u2019t stop our message,\u201d Morton said.<\/p>\n

While the Trump protest in Jacksonville was small, just down the road in St. Johns County, traditionally a strong Republican area, their numbers were much larger.<\/p>\n

Recently, the St. Johns County GOP held a pro-Trump rally in downtown St. Augustine. While there were around 300 Trump supporters, there were also some 50 protesters.<\/p>\n

Indivisible America, the group organizing some of the protests on the First Coast, claims to be non-partisan, but its website hosts a guide to \u201cresist the Trump agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of the protesters told Sunshine State News they hit Trump on a number of fronts, including accusing him of wanting to dismantle Planned Parenthood. They also took shots at Florida Gov. Rick Scott, blaming him for all the environmental problems in Florida.<\/p>\n

Trump supporters have been quick to dismiss groups like Indivisible America as \u201cfake protesters\u201d who are being bused in from outside the area to cause problems. But Nell Toensmann, the chairwoman of the St. Johns Democratic Party says that\u2019s not the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one is bused in from another county for any of these meetings or events and none of them are paid to organize these organizations,” she told SSN. \u201cThey are all doing this voluntarily. Nor is anyone in the local Democratic Party in a paid position. We are all volunteers.\u201d<\/p>\n
