Journalist Andy Ngo, known for his reporting on Antifa and the radical left, appeared on “Watters’ World” this week to discuss recent events that he believes highlight a growing threat from left-wing extremism. Ngo stated that he hopes the public has gained new awareness about what he describes as violent tendencies within not only fringe groups but also mainstream elements of the political left.
“What needs to be done is their propaganda and lies has to be exposed. I think, I hope that it’s been eye opening for the public to see the bloodlust that exists, not just on the fringe left, obviously, but also on the mainstream left in the aftermath of this assassination,” said Ngo during his interview.
He referenced an incident in Pensacola, Florida where a mural of Charlie Kirk was vandalized with messages associated with Antifa. According to Ngo, some of these messages matched engravings found on rifle cartridges used in a recent attack. He suggested this demonstrates how certain extremist views are spreading beyond isolated groups.
“It is a cancer that exists on the left, and it’s mainstream, and there’s some data to back that up. Just overnight, a mural for Charlie Kirk in Pensacola, Florida was vandalized with Antifa propaganda on it, and some of the messages that left on it were the exact messages from what was engraved on the rifle cartridges that were used in the attack,” Ngo said.
Ngo described these actions as part of what he called a “death cult,” arguing that such ideology is supported by various actors beyond street-level activists. “So this is the mindset we’re dealing with. It is — I will call it a death cult. They worship death. They want their targets killed, and they’ve been supported by a huge apparatus. I’m not just talking about the Black bloc militants who are on the streets as acting as thugs, carrying out arson attacks and assaulting people. I’m talking about politicians who spread their propaganda and lies, NGOs, nonprofit groups, elected officials and many in the Democratic Party and, of course, many journalists.”
Ngo also criticized media coverage following recent violence: “We’ve seen many, many disgusting lies spread in the last few days in liberal media suggesting somehow that this accused gunman was a far right Christian nationalist inspired by MAGA.”
A video clip from Ngo’s appearance circulated widely online after airing: “I hope that it’s been eye-opening for the public to see the blood lust that exists, not just on fringe-left obviously, but also in the mainstream left in the aftermath of this assassination.” Me on @JesseBWatters’ show: pic.twitter.com/CzvUnN9X13
