We need to talk about this lie from Andy Ngo and why from this point forward anybody who normalizes him as a reputable person should be ridiculed.

Andy gives us a brief video, in mid-encounter, and tells us Antifa attacked some people on a bus and hit them with a hammer.

In reality, a bus carrying hardcore fascist militia “American Guard” was passing some counter-protestors when it stopped at a light. After an exchange of taunts, members of American Guard opened their bus door and started attacking with hammers.

Yep, the hammers belonged to the fascist militia. And they opened up their bus door to attack people who weren’t doing anything violent.

Andy Ngo saw this attack by fascist militia thugs, and in reporting the skirmish, he painted the fascist thugs as pitiful victims of “ANTIFA VIOLENCE!!!” This what he does. This is all he does.

A bunch of lunatic fascist gangs are bussed into Portland. And then some thugs attack residents with a hammer. But when that same hammer quite rightly gets thrown back at them, people like Ngo now try to craft a fake story where the thugs become victims.

And it’s been very successful. Every deranged MAGA boomer in America now thinks Antifa attacked some poor man with hammers. And this bullshit propaganda campaign owes its success to every weak-willed media person who accepted Ngo as an honest actor.

In short, Andy Ngo creates fake horror movies to give cover for his fascist terrorist friends, and anyone who denies that should not be taken seriously.

Adding Andy's response to this thread for posterity:
