Andy Ngo had been concerned about covering their violence yesterday because of threats.
I am nervous about tomorrow’s Portland antifa rally. They’re promising “physical confrontation” & have singled me out to be assaulted. I went on Tucker Carlson last year to explain why I think they’re doing this: They’re seeking meaning through violence. https://t.co/kpkESjsOmI pic.twitter.com/J45MMshyyK

But he covered them anyway. And then they attacked him. He was “milkshaked,” punched and beaten on camera.
First skirmish I’ve seen. Didn’t see how this started, but @MrAndyNgo got roughed up. pic.twitter.com/hDkfQchRhG

According to reports some of the milkshakes Antifa was concocting contained quick drying cement, making them dangerous projectiles.
Police have received information that some of the milkshakes thrown today during the demonstration contained quick-drying cement. We are encouraging anyone hit with a substance today to report it to police.

According to Harmeet Dillon, Ngo has a “brain bleed” and was being held in the hospital.
Anybody know who these thugs are pictured? They participated in the “milkshaking” assaults that landed client @MrAndyNgo in the hospital overnight (at least) with a brian bleed. This criminal conspiracy needs to be investigated, stopped, punished. https://t.co/7H3Wti1nJu

Update to @MrAndyNgo supporters — he is being admitted to the hospital overnight as a result of a brain bleed. You sick “journalists” and other hacks gloating about this should be ashamed. As for the rest, please pray for @MrAndyNgo who we need back in health — brave man!??????❤️ https://t.co/XYVy4EbIzv

Update: Physicians and medical staff are monitoring @MrAndyNgo in the hospital tonight & tomorrow and administering tests to monitor his head injuries. He sustained several blows to the head in addition the multiple liquids thrown at him. We’ll be gathering video of the assaults. https://t.co/XYVy4EbIzv
