“Fellow travelers” in this context is an old American term for socialists/communists who may or may not be a member of a socialist/communist party.

Interesting, OK! I've never heard "traveler" take on that meaning before.

I was assuming the poster spoke of Romani people (or "gypsies", but this is a racial slur) and it was clearly out of context.
