(Title truncated above.) Full title here:

'Progressive' freelance writer branded a 'racist' for reportedly accosting a random Asian man who he thought was journalist Andy Ngo

A self-described "progressive" freelance writer reportedly accosted an Asian man who he believed to be journalist Andy Ngo at a bar in New Orleans. However, Ngo said the writer bullied a random Asian man because he was not in the state of Louisiana at the time of the harassment.

Thor Benson is a freelance writer for left-wing media outlets such as The Atlantic, The Daily Beast, NBC News, and Business Insider. On Friday at 1:26 a.m., Benson proudly boasted on Twitter: "I just ran into Andy Ngo at a bar in New Orleans. I politely told him he's a 'garbage person.' Lol."

"I was at a dive bar and he came in and started talking to people and I put my hand on his shoulder and said it and then went out for a cigarette," Benson said of the alleged encounter.

Benson claimed that the man he harassed "just left," adding, "I think my comment made him nervous lol."

Some of Benson's followers advocated that he should have assaulted the man at the bar.

One of Benson's followers replied, "Did you throw a whiskey sour with a brick garnish at him? He needs the attention."

However, Ngo disputes Benson's story.

"Thor Benson, a freelance contributor to @thedailybeast, @PopSci & others tried to racially profile me in public & instead ended up harassing a random Asian victim," Ngo wrote on Twitter. "Benson announced this proudly & his followers urged violence against the man."

Ngo pointed out that he was "live streaming on GETTR on Thursday night" around the time that Benson claimed he confronted the journalist.

What an idiot. Accosts a random Asian guy, whom he thinks is Andy Ngo. Of course, "All Asians look alike," to this racist freelancer.

It would have been interesting after grabbing some Asian Guy in a bar, if the Asian guy would have kicked the guy’s ass, like some kick boxing fighter.

I think Thor needs to keep accosting Asian men until he finds Ngo. And may he have a costly trip to the dentist as a result.

Andy Ngo’s crime is that he has highlighted the violence and thuggery of Antifa and BLM and demonstrated that these groups actually do have an organization, an ideology, training in deception and weapons, and vetting of prospective candidates. They are NOT just an “idea.”

Yeah, he looks like one bad mo fo.

Well he does live in N.O. , so there is always hope that he is a victim of random violence.

“’I was at a dive bar and he came in and started talking to people and I put my hand on his shoulder and said it and then went out for a cigarette,’ Benson said of the alleged encounter.”

So after picking on an Asian, he wrnt outside and polluted our fragile environment.

The thing about a lot of these liberals is they don’t think of the consequences of grabbing or cussing out some random person until that random person drops them on the floor.

Indeed. If he assaulted someone who happened to be a member of a tong, the progressive might find himself locked in the trunk of a car in the long-term parking lot at the airport.

He looks like his @ss would be “thor” after a long weekend. Probably his throat, too.

Reminds me of the dog named "Bruiser" in the movie Legally Blonde.

I have a friend who has two large dogs and one tiny dog.

The big dogs are Cupcake and Fifi.

The tiny dog is Killer.

Is his nickname “Sweet Cheeks” or will it be “Kicked in the cheeks” by someone he assaults? I’ll take both for $1,000, Alex.
