So much for the tolerant left. Journalist Andy Ngo was attacked by Antifa in downtown Portland on Saturday while covering one of their rallies, you know the giant pussies who are too cowardly to show their faces, having his camera gear stolen in the process. Andy Ngo, who frequently covers Antifa rallies, was attacked during a street protest in downtown Portland on Saturday. Footage of the attack shows a group of masked protesters swarming Ngo punching him, and pelting him with milkshakes. In a recording he posted after the attack, Ngo is seen with injuries on his face and neck.
According to Quillete The Antifa thugs who attacked Quillette editor and photojournalist Andy Ngo in Portland yesterday did not quite manage to crack his skull. But they did manage to induce a brain hemorrhage that required Ngo’s overnight hospitalization. (For those seeking to support Ngo financially as he recovers, there is a third-party fundraising campaign.)
And a journalist at Vox, Carlos Maza, has even cheered on the practice of assaulting people with milkshakes, such as the kind used to douse Ngo. These are the same people who would (rightly) respond with howls of outrage if a journalist were assaulted by right-wing protestors. And it is appalling that anyone in our industry would excuse violence against a journalist on the basis of political orientation.
