Palm Beach County residents Cara Jennings, in green top, and Toni Rosenberg talk to a Pinellas County Sheriff's deputy after heckling Sen. Marco Rubio.


PALM HARBOR — Former Lake Worth city commissioner and self-described anarchist Cara Jennings and other hecklers disrupted a speech by Sen. Marco Rubio to Florida’s Republican convention delegation this morning.

The group was escorted out of a meeting facility at the Innisbrook resort and given trespassing warnings by Pinellas County deputies.

One of the hecklers, Toni Rosenberg of Boca Raton, said she and others had their lodging and meals paid for by Stand Up Florida. Stand Up Florida is financed by a liberal group called One Miami. State records list One Miami’s directors as Service Employees International Union Florida State Council President Monica Russo, SEIU Florida Vice President Martha Baker and SEIU Florida executive board member Eric Brakken.

Stand Up Florida, headquartered in West Palm Beach, frequently targets U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Palm Beach Gardens.

(Cara Jennings of Palm Beach stood up while Rubio was speaking and shouted, "The Republican agenda doesn't work for America . . ." )
