“We’re essentially just going to show up and make sure that the Donald Trump supporters are defended from the leftist thugs,” Matt Parrott, a spokesman for the Traditionalist Worker Party, told McClatchy. Parrott said the party expects around 30 members will be in Cleveland during the convention, which runs July 18 - 21.

On Sunday, the party hosted a rally in Sacramento, California, in conjunction with a group of skinheads.
