The Left really hates Andy Ngo. They complain that Republicans are banning books and then refuse to carry Ngo's book about Antifa.
This story interests me because President Joe Biden assured us during the presidential debates that Antifa is "just an idea." As some of the dumbest television pundits have pointed out, Antifa is just short for anti-fascist, and do you know who else was anti-fascist? The brave soldiers who stormed the beach at Normandy. If you think Nazis should be punched in the face, you're Antifa.
Antifa can get away with being "just an idea" because, just like the terrorist group Jane's Revenge, there's no leadership structure. Who's the CEO of Antifa? There are independent chapters in cities across America, but they're just that — groups of Nazi punchers.
That's why I'm interested in this lawsuit. Rebel News says Ngo is suing Portland Antifa. Ngo knows the players and that's one of the reasons he's so hated — for posting their mugshots on Twitter.
Andy Ngo is suing Portland Antifa. The trial is going on right now. The judge just ordered a recess over safety concerns after an individual entered the courtroom. https://t.co/tDuCQwsXgR

A few years ago, Antifa thugs attacked a reporter, Andy Ngo, who was doing journalism about their violence. Being Antifa, they attacked him repeatedly. They stole his equipment, they threw unidentified liquids and fast-drying cement at him.
It was an obscene and absurd gang attack on him. But the police did nothing.
Because Portland, Oregon, where the attack happened, is a run by Antifa's allies. Like I say, Antifa are the street gang that enforces what the Democrat Party in cities like Portland wants.
So Andy Ngo, the Post Millennial reporter, is suing Antifa and several individual foot soldiers. As far as I know, that's the first time it's ever happened. The lawyer leading the case is Harmeet Dhillon, a great freedom-oriented lawyer.
It's an interesting case, and one I want to see with my own eyes. I wonder if it will be safe to go to the courthouse, because I've heard Antifa are packing the public galleries so no one else can attend.
Harmeet Dhillon is leading the case? Awesome.
This will never make the national news, but it certainly would be interesting to hear Karine Jean-Pierre asked if the president still thinks Antifa is just an idea.
