(Publishers often ask for follow-up chapters to bestsellers.) Ngo says he ventured back into the crowd while reporting a new chapter for his recent book, Unmasked: Inside Antifa’s Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy. This is the second time in three years that protesters have attacked Ngo, whom they consider a threat to their safety because he regularly posts their mug shots and personal information to social media following their arrests. They chased Ngo for blocks before tackling him and punching him several times after his head hit the brick sidewalk of Southwest Morrison Street.
Though Ngo’s identity was unconfirmed, approximately 10 people split off from the larger protest to follow Ngo and question him about his identity. Ngo’s account lines up with much of what WW reported that night.

“Had I not been able to shelter wounded and bleeding inside a hotel while they beat the doors and windows like animals, there is no doubt in my mind I would not be here today.” “I was chased, attacked and beaten by a masked mob, baying for my blood,” Ngo wrote. In a thread on Twitter and a statement released to WW, Ngo gave his account of the assault, which occurred when demonstrators recognized him in disguise at a rally on the one-year anniversary of this city’s George Floyd protest. (Justin Yau) By Suzette Smith Jat 9:55 pm PDTĪfter five days of total media silence, right-wing author Andy Ngo confirmed he was the man who some of Portland’s leftist marchers chased and beat until he took shelter in The Nines hotel May 28. But so do countless Americans victimized by the riots,” Ngo said.Ĭontent created by The Daily Caller News Foundation is available without charge to any eligible news publisher that can provide a large audience.Floyd firework Fireworks above the Multnomah County Justice Center on the one-year anniversary of George Floyd's murder. Ngo said that though the First Amendment is important, protests needed to obey the law to avoid “anarchy, violence, and death,” according to his testimony. “This has allowed violent extremists to cloak themselves under the banner of ‘peaceful protest’ to carry out widespread arson, shootings, looting, and property destruction.” “America is experiencing the consequences of police in retreat because of biased media narratives and poor leadership,” Ngo said. Ngo claimed in his testimony that the destruction done to property and injuries sustained by individuals during recent protests is not a result of “over-policing,” but caused by “under-policing.” The protests turned to violent demonstrations in some areas, leading to the destruction of buildings, statues, and other landmarks. Protests and riots broke out recently across the country following the death of George Floyd, who died after a former Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes, video of his arrest showed. “There are endless examples of public servants harming the very people they’re meant to serve-but it is an incomplete picture to only focus on injuries perpetrated by law enforcement during the past month of riots,” Ngo said. Violence against journalists is frequently committed by protesters, rather than law enforcement officers, Ngo said in his testimony. They’ve shown up to my family’s home in the middle of the night, and they nearly killed me when they beat me in broad daylight within view of the police in the middle of downtown Portland last year.” “They’ve threatened to kill me, they spread lies about me being a fascist, a neo-Nazi, even a terrorist. “For years, I have been the victim of hundreds of threats by Antifa extremists,” Ngo said. Ngo testified in a virtual briefing called “The First Amendment Under Attack: Examining Government Violence Against Peaceful Civil Rights Protesters and the Journalists Covering Them” before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties June 29, according to his written testimony. Journalist Andy Ngo shared his personal experience with Antifa violence and his firsthand knowledge of its strategies during a congressional hearing Monday.
