Prominent journalist Andy Ngo, who is the Editor-at-large at The Post Millennial, has been temporarily suspended from Twitter following a response tweet to human rights campaigner, Clinton Foundation operator, and political heir Chelsea Clinton regarding trans murder rates.
The tweet by Clinton highlights the deaths of more than 150 trans people who “have been murdered in the U.S.” since 2013, “the majority black transgender women.”
The post included a quoted tweet and a video by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC.) “On #TDoR2019 (trans day of remembrance,) we remember and honor the lives lost, hold their loved ones in our hearts and must commit to doing all we can to end this epidemic of violence and hate.
In response, Ngo tweeted the following:
“The US is one of the safest countries for trans people. The murder rate of trans victims is actually lower than that for cis population. Also, who is behind the murders? Mostly black men.”
Twitter employees deemed Ngo’s tweet violated the Twitter Rules, specifically for their rules against hateful conduct.
In response to the suspension, Ngo provided comment to The Post Millennial: “Stating a verifiable empirical claim with no value judgement attached is determined to be ‘hateful conduct’ by Twitter. The platform most used by journalists to communicate and counter ‘fake news’ also actively punishes individuals for communicating truths when they are deemed politically inconvenient.”
The stat that Ngo is citing does, in fact, come from the HRC’s own numbers.
As outlined by Federalist writer Chad Felix Greene, the black community’s issues with transphobia are amongst the worst in the country, along with the Hispanic community. Greene uses data made available from HRC reports in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019.
“Of the 118 listed cases from 2015 to 2019, 52 have known murderers. The above chart reveals that the racial identity of the victim and the murderer seem entirely irrelevant to the murder motivation,” writes Greene.
“While 67 percent of the victims are indeed black, and the majority are trans women, as reported, the majority of their killers are black as well. This is true for white victims and a single Native American victim who was murdered by a Native American killer. In the 2016 case of Brandi Bledsoe, the murderers were both black and white and were also trans women.”
These stats are backed up by individual cases as well. Detroit, for example, is a city which has ranked amongst the highest in violence for decades. As documented by BuzzFeed: “Nowhere do the violence and homicides appear as concentrated as the Palmer Park area in Detroit” Detroit is 84 percent black in demographics, with the majority of crime being black-on-black.
Is he the photojournalist who was beat up by Antifa, and the police stood down and did nothing to help? In Oregon, maybe?
In an age of lies, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Yes, he's fighting the good fight and he's earned a price on his scalp for doing so.
This is a statistical mistake that was described in my Statistics 101 class as, “Umbrellas in Tacoma does not mean rain in San Francisco.” Mistakes such as what Chelsea made make me wonder if she ever took ever took anything as rigorous as a simple statistic class. You would think that Stanford University’s History Department would make it mandatory that statistics would be a requirement for a degree, since historical research demands the use of statistical data.
Looking at it again and thinking it through, they may have locked his account but not deleted it.

Correct.
His tweet was harmless facts, that if just tweeted out on its own, would have probably not been a problem.
My gut tells me that this is because of it was in response to Princess Horseface. She may have reported it or not, but her name in it is why.
“Those who run Twitter have no concept of the lessons of history.”
Oh YES they do. They seek to repeat (in their minds improve) on it.
Americans are sick and tired of the Left smearing them with partial statistics!
Ngooooooooooooooooooo!
Get off Twitter - that’s my answer.
If Chelsea Clinton took any classes requiring logic or mathematical reasoning, it is likely she was given good grades because of her name.
Never been on Twithead or Fakebook
Black tranny prostitutes lead a dangerous and risky lifestyle.
They aren’t exactly the lovely tranny guys staying at home cooking dinner and reading bedtime stories to the kiddies.
Twitter overrun with homophobia.
The tweet by Clinton highlights the deaths of more than 150 trans people who “have been murdered in the U.S.” since 2013, “the majority black transgender women.”
How many were drug addicts? How many were prostitutes? How many lived in high crime areas? How many were themselves engaged in criminal activity? How many of these were domestic in nature? I have a inkling that it was no small number of them.
Don't cede territory to the Left. That's called "surrender" and there's nothing virtuous about it. Keep posting truth to power until you're suspended, and then blocked. Create a new account and do it again. That's my answer.
Chelsea misled, Andy told facts. We can’t have that in this country.
