Quillette<\/strong>, by James Lindsay — July 20, 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responding to news that journalist Andy Ngo had been beaten by antifa protestors in Portland last month, a woman named Charlotte Clymer <\/em>tweeted<\/em><\/a> that \u201cNgo intentionally provokes people on the left to drive his content. Being attacked today on video taken by an actual journalist (because Ngo is definitely not) is the greatest thing that could have happened to his career. You know it. I know it. He knows it. We all know it. Violence is completely wrong, and I find it sad and weak to allow a sniveling weasel like Andy Ngo to get under one\u2019s skin like this, but I\u2019m also not going to pretend this wasn\u2019t Ngo\u2019s goal from the start. I mean, let\u2019s cut the shit here. This is what they do.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is Charlotte Clymer? She is an activist who works at the <\/em>Human Rights Campaign<\/em><\/a>, America\u2019s \u201clargest LGBTQ civil rights organization,\u201d which supposedly \u201cenvision[s] a world where LGBTQ people are ensured equality at home, at work [and] in every community.\u201d Andy Ngo, who has written for Quillette, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post and other publications, happens to be gay. So this is where we are right now: A staffer for a human-rights organization dedicated to helping gay people is publicly cheering the beating of a gay man. This should raise an eyebrow. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
