Daily Beast Carries out a Scurrilous Hit Job on Andy Ngo for Doing What No One Else Would Do About the Waukesha Murder Spree

[Geee]

Once his name was revealed, some guys who practice actual journalism, one of them Andy Ngo of The Post Millenial, developed a pretty detailed history of the guy. He was a felon who was out on a $1,000 “cash bond” after being charged with another felony. He had run down his…well, she’s described as “the mother of his child” so I’m not sure what that equates to in modern relationships. He fancied himself a rapper. He was a sex offender. He was a fan of Black Lives Matter. He expressed a dislike for white people, indicating he must have been an honor graduate at some Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity seminar. In short, he sounds very, very much like the trash that got taken out in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and given his social media posts and the people he targeted for death, one would think that someone of moderate curiosity, like a detective, might want to look into that sh**.

Yesterday morning, CNN and S. E. Cupp trotted out the “he was running from the cops” imagery. The police quickly knocked that down.

The left began mass reporting Ngo’s tweets to Twitter to try to get the information shut down. When that failed, the crack squad at The Daily Beast went into action. A rather dull fellow named Robert Silverman was assigned the task of reporting not on Brooks’ pretty obvious ties to the progressive movement and what appears to be his racism but on Ngo’s reporting on who Brooks was. Silverman, it should be noted, has a history of bashing Ngo. Nothing to see here but pure journalism.

 

Now the story is out. The headline is How Big-Time Right-Wing Trolls Andy Ngo and Tim Pool Tied Waukesha Killings to Black Lives Matter (the story is behind paywall, but enjoy this free workaround courtesy of me).

First off, Ngo is not a troll. Throughout the summer of 2020, he was one of the very few people covering the Antifa and BLM rioters. He went where the mainstream journalists feared to go, or, more likely, where they refused to go because they didn’t want to make their political compatriots look bad. What is a troll is someone who writes utter sh** like this or lets it be published.
