How a Right-Wing Troll Managed to Manipulate the Mainstream Media

Nowhere was this demonstrated more quickly than in the case of the meteoric rise and equally rapid fall of Andy Ngo, the provocateur and social media personality who garnered nationwide sympathy last June, when he tweeted that he was attacked by antifascist protesters at a Proud Boys rally. Last week, the local newspaper the Portland Mercury reported that a left-wing activist going undercover as a member of Patriot Prayer, a far-right group known for promoting and engaging in violent clashes with leftist activists, had given the publication an 18-minute video that included footage of Ngo with a group of Patriot Prayer members as the members discuss an upcoming brawl, including weaponry to be used in altercations with antifa. Ngo, who describes himself as a journalist, did not record the conversation, and does not appear to have his camera or notebook out. For part of the footage, he is seen on his phone.

Nonetheless, the footage was highly embarrassing for Ngo, who has long claimed to be an independent and objective journalist, despite many left-wing activists in Portland accusing him of antagonizing them at rallies and selectively editing his footage to malign the left.

You do understand that your opponents will do hit pieces on you?

The business they're all in is a dirty world.

I wasn't referring to you.

You posted some hit piece on Andy Ngo, but it's meaningless, because they all do hit pieces on each other, mainly to make a few dollars for an article and justify their job to themselves.

If you’re not going to read the article then that’s entirely down to you, but I searched his name on google and there are different articles all saying that he provokes and antagonises the extreme left. Are you going to call them hit pieces too? He’s also been said to fabricate different stories to align with his far right beliefs so why should I even begin to believe his tweet. I’ve already said that we’ll see what transpires once there’s a news report on it. But for, Andy Ngô can go

Looking into it, it does look like the guy in question was arrested at a BLM protest last year, but its Andy Ngo. May as well post something from Tommy Robinson.

They've banned more than Trump. General Flynn, Sidney Powell have gone too. Many other Trump supporters have gone.

The amount of hoops people will jump through to make out these racist terrorists aren't terrorists are just....

Do they ever get bored of their delusion? It's tiresome to listen to, I can't imagine how much energy it must take to just switch off any kind of rational thought and stay that way.

President Trump called a Republican senator urging him to object to additional Electoral College state tallies as the mob he incited stormed the Capitol.

Trump, who had, only a short time earlier, encouraged his supporters to march to Congress to demand they stop the Electoral College certification, called Utah Sen. Mike Lee shortly after 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, but he was looking for Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville, according to CNN. A spokesperson for the Utah senator confirmed the call.

With the president on the line, Lee tracked down Tuberville and gave him the phone. Tuberville and Trump spoke for less than 10 minutes, and the president urged him to object to more states than the Republicans had intended. For an objection to be heard, which forces a two-hour debate followed by a vote, it must be in writing and has to be signed by a member of both chambers of Congress — they agreed to object on three states, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.

The certification was halted for hours after Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in an attempt to stop the session at the president's direction. The chaos led to five deaths, countless injuries, destruction of federal property, dozens of arrests, and a lockdown of the Capitol, but it did not stop Congress from certifying the Electoral College for Joe Biden for more than a couple hours.

Hours after the insurgence began but before Congress had restarted the session, the president's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, also called Lee thinking it was Tuberville.

"Sen. Tuberville? Or I should say Coach Tuberville. This is Rudy Giuliani, the president's lawyer," he said, according to a transcript of the voicemail he left for Lee, which was published by the news blog Emptywheel. "I'm calling you because I want to discuss with you how they're trying to rush this hearing and how we need you, our Republican friends, to try to just slow it down so we can get these legislatures to get more information to you."

"I know they're reconvening at 8 tonight, but it ... the only strategy we can follow is to object to numerous states and raise issues so that we get ourselves into tomorrow — ideally until the end of tomorrow."

Congress ultimately certified the Electoral College after only two states' results led to objections that were heard, and they were for Arizona and Pennsylvania. Both states' Electoral College votes ended up counting as the Republican objectors were severely outnumbered.
