‘They Want to Destroy the United States,’ Andy Ngo Elaborates on Antifa…

Andy Ngo, journalist and author of the recent release “Unmasked: Inside Antifa’s Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy,” told NTD that Antifa isn’t about to just fade away because former President Donald Trump has left office.

Ngo said that the perception of Antifa fading away with an announcement of a Biden election victory was incorrect.

“Both of them were using irresponsible language and talking points about how this [the Trump administration] was ascendant American fascism, that we were on the cusp of another Holocaust,” Ngo said.

Ngo said that the idea of opposing white supremacy and neo-nazis gave Antifa an “opening to move in,” But according to his observations, the group’s violent attacks have been indiscriminate.

“What I was witnessing on the ground in my home city—Portland, the epicenter of American Antifa—that they were carrying out indiscriminate acts of violence, not just against property but against people. And they kept continuing to escalate and escalate,” he told NTD.

“It was becoming embedded in Portland. It was becoming routine…
