Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and members of his far-right armed militia were spotted in the front row at Donald Trump’s February 11 rally in El Paso.

Rhodes has advocated for training armed militias to do Trump’s bidding, embraced white supremacist conspiracy theories, endorsed using “lethal force” against left-wing protesters, and called on armed Oath Keepers to stand guard outside of schools and to spot unauthorized crossings at the U.S. southern border.
