Journalist Warns Congress Antifa Plans to Spread Violence Across America

Andy Ngo

The Epoch Times   "Independent journalist Andy Ngo and his family have been so threatened by the “violent, insurrectionary” group Antifa that he feared testifying before Congress, but he said he was even more afraid “of remaining silent.”
"Ngo, who has covered Antifa since 2016, told a hearing on Aug. 4 of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Constitution that “unless we take action, what is happening in Portland today will soon be happening in cities across the country.”
"That’s because, Ngo said, “what we have witnessed are almost daily violent protests and riots led by Antifa. Even when they aren’t starting fires, using explosives, and trying to maim officers, they leave threatening messages like decapitated pig heads outside the courthouse.”
"Ngo was referring to the more than two months of nightly destructive rioting seen in the Oregon city organized and led by the radical left-wing group, using as its pretext the nation’s outrage over the May 25 death of George Floyd in the custody of Minneapolis police.
"As editor-at-large of The Post Millennial digital news site, Ngo’s highly detailed and well-sourced reporting has exposed Antifa’s decentralized organizational structure, fundraising methods, recruitment of new members, training in violent tactics, and insurrectionary plans to destroy the United States and replace it with a totalitarian regime." . . .

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), the subcommittee’s chairman, repeatedly challenged Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), the panel’s ranking minority member, to reject violence specifically by Antifa, but she refused to do so, saying only, “We all agree to reject violence by groups of any stripe.”When Cruz repeated his challenge toward the end of the hearing, Hirono got up and left the hearing, prompting the Texas senator to remark: “She declined to speak, so that is the position of the Democratic Party. I would note also that of the seven Democratic senators who spoke, not a one of them apologized for or denounced multiple Democrats calling law enforcement officers storm troopers and Gestapo.”
