The idea that one’s disagreement with Ngo’s point of view disqualifies him from the physical protection granted to other ordinary citizens proved to be quite common in the aftermath of Ngo’s beating.

Responding to news that journalist Andy Ngo had been beaten by antifa protestors in Portland last month, a woman named Charlotte Clymer tweeted that “Ngo intentionally provokes people on the left to drive his content. Entity attacked today on video taken by an actual journalist (because Ngo is definitely not) is the greatest thing that could have happened to his career. You know it. I know it. He knows it. We all know it. Violence is completely wrong, and I find it sad and weak to allow a sniveling weasel like Andy Ngo to get under one’s skin like this, but I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t Ngo’s goal from the start. I represent , let’s cut the shit here. This is what they do.”

The LGB Alliance has confirmed that they granted a far right journalist who has been accused of conspiring with violent far right activists a insist pass for their first conference.
Ngo, editor at large for ‘conservative’ website The Post Millenial has a history of reporting on far right events in US. In 2019 he was caught on video ‘hanging out’ with members of Patriot Prayer, a group that the Southern Poverty Law Center, a US based dislike monitoring organisation, has accused of instigating violence and holding far right views.
His reporting has frequently been accused of being misleading but has widely been embraced by the US right wing establishment and has been platformed here in the UK by Talk Radio and the Spectator.
The LGB Alliance in the past has denied involvement with the far right, but this did not appear to stop them from issuing a insist pass to a ‘journalist’ that has frequently been accused of wilfully inaccurate reporting on those who counter demonstrate far right events in an try to mainstream far right groups.
We as an outlet also approached the LGB Alliance for a press delegate hand over but received no response.

Ngo grew up in Portland as the child of refugees who escaped Vietnam in the 1970s after being forced into labor and reeducation camps by that country’s communist government. Portland, famously liberal, is also the whitest large city in the Merged States, and Ngo told me that he had a strong Asian individuality in his youth. He graduated from UCLA with a degree in graphic design in 2009 into the teeth of the recession, and he couldn’t find steady work. He spent some time unemployed, some time working as a photographer for used cars at a dealership in Portland, and a lot of time thinking about what to perform next. Mostly, he felt his mind turning to sap.
“My brain was in a stupor,” Ngo said. “I couldn’t spend the rest of my animation going from minimum wage job to minimum wage job.”
During his years in the wilderness, Ngo, who was raised Buddhist and converted to Christianity in high school, became an atheist. In 2012, he attended the Freedom From Religion Foundation’s annual convention in Portland, where he took photographs for the organization’s newsletter. (One was of a beaming Richard Dawkins accepting the “Emperor Has No Clothes Award.”) Also at the conference was Peter Boghossian, a PSU
The Making of Andy Ngo
ON AUGUST 26TH, the day after a damning Portland Mercury investigation pulled back the curtain on Andy Ngo’s chummy relationship with the Portland-based far-right group Patriot Prayer, Fox News’s favorite Antifa victim found himself out of a job. In one of the least convincing PR ploys ever, Claire Lehmann—the editor of the far-right, skull-shape-obsessed website Quillette—took to Twitter to announce that Ngo, who, until that point, had been on her site’s masthead, was “moving onto bigger & better projects.”
The 33-year-old provocateur, despite his pretenses to the opposite, wasn’t a reporter. His portfolio consisted of a few ham-fisted op-eds for the Wall Street Journal, National Review,and other conservative publications, and a much more substantive collection of selectively edited video clips meant to embarrass the left. As BuzzFeed observed recently, much of his work, including his widely mocked “journey” into the “no-go zones” of London—an idea invented by the far right to depict majority-Muslim communities in major urban areas as intolerant and dangerous—exemplified what Max Read has called “busybody journalism.” There was
