Andy Ngô reacts to becoming Antifa target, leaving US: 'Not safe anymore for me'
Fox News ^ | April 5, 2021 | Stephanie Pagones

He might be the most hated man in the room depending on where he goes, but Andy Ngô has undoubtedly amassed a tremendous following for his experience covering the ins and outs of Antifa.

The born-and-raised Portlander and second-generation Vietnamese American, a conservative journalist who serves as the editor-at-large of The Post Millenial, is now a New York Times bestselling author thanks to his recently published tome, "Unmasked: Inside Antifa’s Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy."

In "Unmasked," Ngô explores not only the history of Antifa both in and outside the United States, but also his own experiences covering what he describes as an organized community of radical, left-wing anarchists.

Opponents tried to stop the book from being published, Ngô, 33, wrote on Twitter. Even when it was released, some took issue with the book being sold in stores, according to reports. Portland's famed shop Powell's Books opted not to sell the work after union employees protested Ngô "and everything he represents," reports stated.

Over the course of years, Ngô has endured physical attacks from people in crowds while covering Antifa or radical events, and even unwanted visitors at his and his parents’ homes, Ngô wrote in his book.

But everything came to a head earlier this year when Ngô left the country amid threats of violence and "an escalation of safety concerns," he told Fox News.

"It was just not safe anymore for me. I had already been on borrowed time," he said when reached by phone.

Ngô grew to have a keen interest in Antifa following the outcome of the 2016 presidential election, he said.

Is that why Ngo’s book made the best seller list and his news site is doing well?
You are talking like the Soviets were “winning” when millions of Soviets fled to the west. They weren't.

I was told Antifa only exists as an idea.

That’s a victory for the left.

He needs to get the hell out of Portland and move to the US.

And where is the US? I'm just outside Minneapolis. I anticipate the city is going to burn again regardless of the outcome in the case against Derek Chauvin. I'd like to move to the US, too.

He should move to Texas. Just not any of the cities. Get his License To Carry, get some range time.

And we wonder why,among many other things,that there wasn’t a court in the nation willing to stop the theft in 2020. Judges have families too!

If judges refused to hear any of these election-related cases because of threats or intimidation, then we ALL have to leave the country; there's no getting around that we've become a banana republic.

Every time it has been used it has worked. As long as the males of the species continue to wear mini skirts, high heels, s=and makeup it will continue to work.

In the past, the males protected the females. Now it is the females protecting the males. What could go wrong?

Chris Wray doesn't think that there's a problem.

Agreed. It is about that time for what you wrote to happen in mass. And do not think the cops will be your friend. They are the enemy and no matter how many people tell me cops are good people, “just following orders” was long ago debunked as an excuse for good people to do bad things.

Once the LGBTQI+ and the Biden administration shut down Christian colleges and universities with their present lawsuit it will get much worse.

I have a couple of friends in Idaho. They tell me it’s in danger of becoming another Colorado.
