Hundreds of demonstrators gathered at the Historic Courthouse plaza downtown on Saturday as part of the nationwide and global rallies against the Trump administration's policies on immigration enforcement, federal budget cuts and environmental protection rollbacks, plus the war in Iran.

Indivisible Henderson County and Persist of Henderson County in partnership with Hendersonville Pride, the Henderson County NAACP and Progressive Alliance of Henderson County organized “No Kings 3.0” in partnership with Indivisible Project.

No Kings organizers said eight million people took part, one of the largest protests in recent history, the New York Times reported. Organizers said more than 3,100 events — 500 more than in October — were registered, in all 50 states.

White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson the protests the product of “leftist funding networks” with little real public support.

The “only people who care about these Trump Derangement Therapy Sessions are the reporters who are paid to cover them,” Jackson said in a statement.
