So long as there are people trying to make the fash victims because others won’t let them get their fash on, those others will keep reminding everyone why – and then a decision will have to be made. Ngo might be learning that the hard way – as will others.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

When propagandist Andy Ngo claimed to have been assaulted during a protest organized by the neo-Fascist group Patriot Prayer, he was able to parlay the sympathy and hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations he gained from right wing circles as well as from CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper into a crusade against political violence from the left, it was while he was an editor for the right-wing op-ed website Quillette. However, as video surfaced that he worked closely with the Patriot Prayer, most notably during a May 1 incident that devolved into a clash between Patriot Prayer, Proud Boys and antifa, the public started to take notice of how vile Ngo just might be, and it all might have cost him his position at Quillette. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quillette announced on Monday that Ngo resigned that editor position he held with the website, but it wasn\u2019t before a number of Twitter posts spoke yesterday of how Ngo did not list Qullette on his bio anymore, and that he was even scrubbed from the website itself. While he was indeed removed from the website\u2019s masthead on Monday, there are however a number of articles and photos from Ngo that remain on Quillette, whose editor-in-chief Claire Lehmann told the Daily Beast<\/a> that he had actually left weeks ago and had nothing to do with the Portland Mercury story<\/a> about someone on the left who went undercover to document Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys, videotaping them as they plotted to attack antifa on May 1 at a Portland bar called Cider Riot, and quite possibly damning Ngo as complicit in their plans. \u201cAndy actually moved on from Quillette a few weeks ago because he is undertaking bigger & better projects, we just hadn’t updated the website and he hadn’t updated his Twitter bio until today,\u201d Lehman emailed the Daily Beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, the timing is curious. Several members of Patriot Prayer, including its leader Joey Gibson and the Proud Boys were arrested and charged with inciting a riot because of the video. The video shows Ngo witnessing Patriot Prayer\u2019s planning the attack, but he never reported on that planning, and the Portland Mercury article says the infiltrator, who calls himself \u201cBen\u201d, noted that Ngo only turned his camera on when he sees antifa. \u201cThere\u2019s an understanding,\u201d Ben said, \u201cthat Patriot Prayer protects him and he protects them.\u201d\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
