EmployerThe Post Millennial

Andy Cuong Ngô (born c. 1986) is an American journalist and social media personality best known for covering street protests in Portland, Oregon. He is editor-at-large of The Post Millennial, a Canadian conservative news website.

Ngo began his career as a multimedia editor for the Portland State University student newspaper, The Vanguard. He came to national attention when he was dismissed in 2017 after publishing a video to Twitter that the paper's editor-in-chief said was out of context and violated journalist ethics.[2] Ngo responded publicly in a piece in the National Review disputing that he made any misrepresentation. Ngo then went on to work as a sub-editor for Quillette. His coverage of Patriot Prayer became controversial after video footage surfaced showing Ngo present as members of the right-wing group planned a violent attack on a bar; Ngo never reported on their plans.[3]

While reporting on a 2019 Proud Boys march in Portland, Ngo was attacked and injured. Ngo was hit with a milkshake and claimed that blows to his head caused him to suffer a brain injury.[4] He blamed antifa activists for the assault. Ngo later testified on antifa and related First Amendment issues before a U.S. House subcommittee.

Early life and education

Ngo was born and raised in Portland, Oregon.[1] His parents immigrated from Vietnam by boat in 1978.[1] Ngo's father worked as a police officer, prior to his relocation to the United States.[5] Raised in a Buddhist family, Ngo converted to Christianity in high school.[6] After a period of time as an evangelical Christian, he became disillusioned and took an interest in skepticism.[7] He subsequently became an atheist[6] and was strongly against organized religion, which was reflected in his social media activity in the form of "inflammatory language".[8] In a December 2016 interview with Skeptical Inquirer, Ngo stated that language does not reflect his current beliefs.[9]

While attending the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Ngo volunteered with AmeriCorps.[5] He graduated from UCLA in 2009 with a graphic design degree, but found it hard to find a job, so he had period of unemployment and worked as a photographer at a used car dealership and in various minimum wage jobs.[6] In the mid 2010s, Ngo came out as gay while visiting relatives in rural Vietnam.[5] In 2013, he began volunteering as a photographer at the Center for Inquiry in Portland.[8]

In 2015, Ngo enrolled in a master's program at Portland State University for political science, with research interests in secularism and political Islam.[1][6][10] While attending the school, he joined the Freethinkers of Portland State University.[6][7]

Career

The Vanguard

While enrolled at Portland State University (PSU), Ngo worked as a multimedia editor at The Vanguard, a student newspaper.[8] In 2017, he drew national attention after he was let go from The Vanguard and accused the newspaper of firing him over his conservative political beliefs.[5] After Ngo attended an April 26 interfaith panel at the university and used his personal account to tweet a video clip of the Muslim student's remarks, Breitbart News picked up and circulated his video within 24 hours[1] which led to a "social media firestorm."[11] Four days later, The Vanguard's editor, Colleen Leary, fired Ngo and stated that he was dismissed because his tweet was unethical, reflecting a reckless oversimplification and violation of journalistic ethics.[1] According to Ngo, he was fired from the paper for political incorrectness, although he was not reporting for The Vanguard at the time. Leary considered his paraphrasing of the Muslim student's remarks be "a half-truth", meant to incite a reaction, and refuted that the dismissal was motivated by previous campus controversies over Ngo's work.[1] Critics from conservative media characterized the firing as an attempt to stifle free speech.[1][12]

In May 2017, Ngo wrote an op-ed for the National Review titled "Fired for Reporting the Truth".[1] He also engaged in online discussions about the incident and on the pro-Donald Trump subreddit /r/The Donald where he called the firing part of a "trend towards self-censorship in the name of political correctness".[11] Leary reported that since the incident did not receive much attention on campus, it left her with questions about the relationship between Breitbart and Ngo.[1] The Muslim student whose comments Ngo shared by tweet later said, "I thought I would feel proud after putting something like this [interfaith panel] together. Not feel like this."[1][11]

Later work

In March 2018, Ngo filmed protests and a disruptive audience when feminist critic Christina Hoff Sommers spoke at the Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland.[13][14][15]

On August 29, 2018, Ngo wrote an op-ed titled "A Visit to Islamic England" for The Wall Street Journal. In the article, Ngo wrote of his experiences in two neighborhoods in East London, including visits to a mosque and an Islamic center. From these experiences, he concluded that London was afflicted with "failed multiculturalism". He falsely connected alcohol-free zones in parts of London to the Muslim-majority populations. Ngo was accused of Islamophobia[16][17][18] and subsequently issued a correction.[19][20][21] Alex Lockie from Business Insider criticized Ngo's article for "fear monger[ing] around England's Muslim population" and cherry-picking evidence, and for mischaracterizing the neighborhood near the East London Mosque.[22] Steve Hopkins from HuffPost stated that "some of his [Ngo's] assertions have already been disproved".[23]

In October 2018, Ngo started a podcast entitled Things You Should Ngo. His interviewees have included Jordan Peterson, Dave Rubin and Carl Benjamin (who uses the pen name "Sargon of Akkad" online).[6]

Until August 2019,[24] Ngo was a writer and sub-editor at Quillette.[16] Several media outlets, including The Oregonian and The Rolling Stone have been critical of Ngo and described him as a "right-wing provocateur".[25][26][27][28][29][30][31] BuzzFeed News said that "Ngo's work is probably best described as media activism" and that he engages in "participant reporting".[6] New York magazine cites Ngo as an example of "busybody journalism."[19]

As of November 2019, Ngo is editor-at-large of The Post Millennial,[32] a conservative Canadian news website.[33]

Confrontations with antifa activists and assault

Ngo has labelled several journalists, including Shane Burley and Alexander Reid Ross, as "antifa ideologues".[34] According to Vox's Zack Beauchamp, Ngo has doxed at least one political activist by publishing her full name.[35] He has also been accused of using selectively edited videos and sharing misleading and inaccurate information to paint antifa activists as violent, and to underplay the violence of the far-right. [26][36][37][38][39][40][41]

Ngo has investigated what he calls "illiberal reactions", which he says threaten college freedoms.[15] In February 2018, Ngo and his student group Freethinkers of PSU invited former Google engineer James Damore, the author of a Google diversity memo, to speak on the campus. According to Ngo, his group was threatened with violence and were intimidated by antifa protesters, but this claim has been disputed.[8] He later stated that antifa protesters did not disrupt the event.[8][42] During the event, a portion of the audience walked out in protest against Damore. Ngo filmed the disruption, but said "it [had not been] a plan to get national attention for [himself]."[11][15][43][44]

Livestreaming Patriot Prayer rallies

In November 2018, Ngo live-streamed the Him Too rally organized by a Patriot Prayer member in downtown Portland, and was sprayed with silly string by antifascist protesters.[45][46] Ngo said the Democratic politicians are in a difficult position as they have a constituency that "share similar goals and sympathies [as antifa]". Ngo called for "more clarity in their [Democratic] leadership, and to come out against violence, against this type of anarchy, and not view it through a partisan lens as they are currently".[45]

May Day

On May 1 2019, Ngo attended demonstrations and counter protests in Portland associated with International Workers Day or May Day.[47][48] He reported being punched and blasted with pepper spray while filming two separate May Day events.[48] In August 2019, a video of Ngo surfaced where he is seen laughing, while standing next to the members of the far-right group Patriot Prayer as they plan an attack on anti-fascist patrons at Cider Riot following the May Day protests.[24][49][50][8] He later followed the group to the bar where they attacked the patrons. The video is part of the court documents in the ongoing lawsuit against Patriot Prayer members for causing the riot. One of the victims of the attack was knocked unconscious with a baton and suffered a broken vertebrae—Ngo later posted a video of her being attacked and identified her online.[51] Portland Mercury quoted an undercover antifascist embedded in Patriot Prayer saying that Andy Ngo has an "understanding" with the far-right group, that the group "protects him and he protects them".[52]

Assault during coverage of the Proud Boys rally and counter protest

On June 29, 2019, while covering protests at a rally organized by the far-right group Proud Boys in Portland. A group of counter-protesters also organized, some of whom physically attacked Ngo, who was present filming.[53] Ngo was punched in the head, kicked and hit with at least one milkshake. He blamed his injuries on antifa counter-protesters. No individual attackers were identified.[6][54][55][56][57][58] He walked away and reported what happened in a livestream, during which a medic arrived to check on him.[59] The video of the June 29 incident where Ngo was assaulted by masked demonstrators went viral and led the Proud Boys, a designated hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, to organize a follow up event in Portland known as the End Domestic Terrorism rally for August 17, 2019.[60][61]

Ngo's attorney wrote that he was subsequently taken to hospital for cerebral hemorrhaging. Writing for BuzzFeed News, Joseph Bernstein stated that Ngo had sent him a copy of his discharge paperwork from the hospital showing that he had suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage.[6] Ngo retained attorney Harmeet Dhillon to investigate the response of the Portland Police Bureau.[62]

Texas Senator Ted Cruz called on federal authorities to investigate Ted Wheeler, Portland's mayor who also serves as the city's police commissioner.[63][64] Democratic Party presidential candidate Andrew Yang wished Ngo a speedy recovery.[63] Former Vice President and Democratic Party presidential candidate Joe Biden and then-candidate Eric Swalwell also condemned the attack.[65] The Portland based newspaper Willamette Week stated that "it is increasingly clear he is coordinating his movements and his message with right-wing groups".[66] Bernstein reported that "[Ngo]'s literal brand is that anti-fascists are violent and loathe him", adding that he "has been building to a dramatic confrontation with the Portland far left for months, his star rising along with the severity of the encounters." Bernstein stated that Ngo "is willing to make himself the story and to stream himself doing it. He proceeds from a worldview and seeks to confirm it, without asking to what degree his coverage becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy", pointing out that Ngo even proposed going to "a far-left hangout" during the writing of the profile piece.[6]

Departure from Quillette

On August 26, 2019, The Daily Beast reported that Ngo was leaving Quillette. Earlier in the day, Portland Mercury covered a video that showed Ngo standing near members of Patriot Prayer, the far-right group active in Portland, as they planned violence at a bar frequented by left-wing activists.[8][52][67] Ngo, who ultimately blamed the violence on antifascist activists, is seen smiling and laughing at the discussion.[36][49] Ngo's name was deleted from Quillette's masthead, and the site from Ngo's Twitter feed, at this time.[24] The editor of Quillette, Claire Lehmann, told The Daily Beast that the two developments were not linked and that Ngo had left the website several weeks earlier.[24] On August 30, Spectator USA published an article by Ngo in which he stated he did not know about the far-right group planning the attack, that he "[only] caught snippets of various conversations" and "was preoccupied on [his] phone", describing the accusations as "lies".[68]

In June 2020, Ngo sued individuals purportedly associated with antifa, seeking $900,000 in damages for assault and emotional distress, and an injunction to prevent further harassment. The lawsuit, filed on Ngo's behalf by his attorney Harmeet Dhillon, cites Rose City Antifa, five other named defendants, and additional unknown assailants. It stems from multiple alleged attacks on Ngo in Portland during 2019: at a demonstration on May 1; at his local gym on May 7; and during a protest on June 29. In particular, the suit accuses Rose City Antifa of a "pattern of racketeering activities".[69]

On June 29, 2020, Ngo testified before the United States House Committee on Oversight and Reform's Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties during a virtual briefing on "The First Amendment Under Attack: Examining Government Violence Against Peaceful Civil Rights Protesters and the Journalists Covering Them", during which he stated that protesters perpetrated violence against journalists and not law enforcement officers.[70][71]

Political views

Ngo has often been described as right-wing and conservative,[6] although he does not describe himself as such.[13][16][72][73][74] When pressed to pick a political label in a July 2019 podcast interview for The Joe Rogan Experience, Ngo responded that he considers himself to be center-right.[75]
