Following the huge anti-Trump rallies throughout the country over the weekend, smaller groups of protesters on Tuesday gathered at the South Florida congressional offices of Senators Bill Nelson and Marco Rubio.

At Nelson’s Davie office about 75 men and women carrying placards demanded the rejection of  Trump’s cabinet selections, calling them “Trump’s Swamp.”

People stood in line to enter the senator’s office and sign a guest book confirming their attendance.

An assistant in the office said that she had received dozens of calls asking the senator, who was in Washington, to vote against Trump’s nominees, save the Affordable Care Act and continue funding for Planned Parenthood.

About 35 people rallied at Rubio’s Miami office, an assistant said.
