![]() But he’s not really a journalist and he was there to provoke. That’s one of the big critiques I’ve seen of you. Guy Benson: Yeah they’re pretending like you’re not a journalist. ![]() Unfortunately Antifa has a lot of cheerleaders in the mainstream media who for whatever reason have some ideological alignment with them feel that their tactics of a doctrine of harassment of intimidation is OK and you know I think it’s pretty dangerous for journalists to accept the rationale or logic because of a writer whose columnists opinion that should open him or her to brutal beatings. And but really it was a premeditated planned day to bring physical confrontation to their opponent. So they did they organized this protest to run riot as a quote self-defense.

If you would if you would describe what your actions were that quote unquote provoked this violent attack against you. These are arguments being made by supposedly serious people in some cases. But, Andy Ngo is you know are far right white supremacist or supports those ideas or he provoked this and brought this on himself. And then there’s always the comma and the but. A lot of blue checkmark verified people on the left who are willing in most cases to condemn a vicious physical assault against you.

Of these people who are wearing black clothing and in many cases masks shrouding their identities. Who does a lot of work exposing Antifa was identified by a PAC. But there were these videos coming out of Portland Oregon where an TFA was for some reason back on the march and wreaking havoc. I try not to obsess over it when I’m trying to relax.
