On Friday, The Atlantic’s Peter Beinart gave his hot take on Antifa:

@TheAtlantic

There's almost no support for antifa among liberals, @PeterBeinart observes. So why is it that conservative publications are so eager to conjure it up? http://on.theatln.tc/QgJK7gV

Conservatives Conjure Up Liberal Support for Antifa Violence

Funny that with so little support from liberals, Twitchy was able to find all sorts of people (like the Human Rights Campaign’s Charlotte Clymer) claiming that Ngo was “asking for it,” or that he wasn’t a real journalist and shouldn’t have been there. Slate’s Aymann Ismail claimed that what Ngo has done is worse than what he got (a brain hemorrhage).

Ngo was hit with a “milkshake” which police said was probably skin-burning quick-drying cement, which really amused MMFA’s Parker Molloy and HuffPost’s Christopher Mathias, and super-fact-checker Talia Lavin. Liberals claimed Ngo was faking his injuries. Vox’s Zach Beauchamp says “broader context” is necessary to understand why Ngo was punched and hit with thrown objects. And The New York Times wasn’t about to pass judgment; it just offered an “explainer” on Antifa.

Oh, and liberals doctored headlines and claimed that Ngo staged the attack.

What was the question again? Oh yeah, why are conservatives so determined to make it look like Antifa has the support of liberals?
