Right-Wing Reporter Andy Ngo Caught Red Handed Lying About Antifa Protests

Andy Ngo, a "journalist" who always manages to be on the scene any time anti-fascist activists are supposedly attacking people or property has been caught red handed lying and spreading misinformation to fit his narrative once again and he is seen by many on the right as the one-stop shop for all your anti-Antifa needs.

This past week, Ngo attended a Patriot Prayer rally in Portland, which also included groups such as "American Guard" - American Guard members have attended Klu Klux Klan cross burnings and rallies - and Antifa and other counter protesters, in the hope he would find something that he could twist into his notorious "Antifa are the real bad guys" narrative. And he did. Guardian reporting on the topic goes into detail on the bus you can see pictured above - which quite clearly belongs to American Guard given the placard that has been placed in window.

Pictured here you can see that the members American Guard are wearing the same shirts and "Make America Great Again" hats that are also present in the picture above, clearly showing that this was the group who brought the hammer to the Portland Rally. The hammer becomes a really important factor in the story after seeing the way Andy Ngo reports on the situation.

Twitter user 'Respectable Lawyer' dedicated a whole thread of tweets to Ngo's false reporting on the rally and Antifa in general in which it is extremely evident how Andy manipulates the events of the rally and works backwards from his conclusion of "Antifa are the bad guys".

Take this tweet from Andy for example, in which he explicitly states that Antifa instigated an attack on Patriot Prayer, American Guard and other rally attendees, and used a hammer in order to attack the man in the picture, which seems to conflict with the first picture in which we can clearly see that the people on the black bus were wielding the hammer, attacking Antifa and other counter protestors.

Laughably, Ngo tweeted at Respectable Lawyer, quoting a tweet from someone who was at the rally and used this as evidence of his claims of Antifa attacks, but like all of his other reporting - it was wrong.

Fun activity time: Have a look at this tweet from Elijah and see if you can spot the contradiction with Andy's previous statements:

MSNBC Host Lawrence O'Donnell Explains How The Democratic Party Treats The Left

MSNBC's "The Last Word" host Lawrence O'Donnell describes his politics as a "practical European socialist", which essentially boils down to being a nordic-style social democrat, usually in favour of a mixed economy with a generous welfare state and has defended his positions on MSNBC news shows that typically frown upon stepping outside the neoliberal bubble. O'Donnell is no progressive hero in the context of american politics, sometimes scolding progressive politicians whenever they mildly criticize the Democratic Party, such as when Bernie Sanders tweeted about having to take on the Democratic establishment as well as Republicans, O'Donnell decided to concern troll Sanders by claiming that the Democratic establishment wouldn't pass Sanders' proposals if he wasn't nice to them. Over the course of the last few months an old video of O'Donnell explaining how to move the Democratic Party further left and how the party treats the p

MSNBC News Caught Faking Poll Numbers To Elevate Biden Above Bernie Sanders

If you were to believe recent polling figures in regards to the Democratic Primaries, Joe Biden is by far and away one of the most popular political figures in America, with his 2020 poll numbers giving him a 37 and 32 point lead over Bernie Sanders in the recent past. There has however been issues with some of the polls that have been undertaken and given Joe Biden his huge lead, such as the one pictured above, which shows Bernie leading Biden by 2% (27%-25%) among non-white voters, but you wouldn’t know that if you watched the MSNBC segment regarding the poll, in which Biden magically gains three percentage points in order to go ahead of Bernie in these demographics. Here’s another poll (CNN) that was used in order to show Sanders “plummeting support” and as you can see the poll includes zero respondents of anyone under the age of fifty. The problem being that Sanders base of support is largely made up of younger voters, so to not include any in a poll on Sanders is simply di

Why The Labour Party Lost The UK Election

Whichever way you approach the recent UK election, it would be fair to say that the Labour Party experienced a drubbing, resulting in a loss of 60 seats and handing the Conservative Party a large parliamentary majority. There has however been a fierce debate surrounding the reasons for Labour’s defeat, reasons ranging from Brexit, Jeremy Corbyn himself or supposedly racist voters. This debate has deeply spilt the two main factions of the Labour Party, between moderates and progressives. Blairites vs Corbynistas if you will. Moderates place the blame solely at the feet of Jeremy Corbyn, his supposed anti-semitism and poor electability. Progressives see this defeat as a result of a Brexit backlash with many Leave voters leaving the Labour Party while the Conservative Party had one core message: “Get Brexit Done” which seemingly resonated. It is fair to suggest that Corbyn’s popularity isn’t exactly soaring, with the mere mention of his name bringing about a whole range of different
