Reporters and activists pile on journalist after antifa attack

Some took to social media to mock the journalist who was attacked by antifa on Saturday while reporting on demonstrations in downtown Portland, Oregon.

In a video that has gone viral, antifa protesters are seen kicking and throwing things at Andy Ngo, who later tweeted that he had to go to the emergency room. According to Ngo’s lawyer, he suffered a brain bleed from the attack and had to stay in the hospital overnight.

Portland Police tweeted that some of what appeared to be milkshakes were actually containers filled with quick-drying cement.

Ngo’s tweets about his attack were met with ridicule, while others blamed the attack on him.

When Jake Tapper tweeted how antifa has a long history of attacking journalists, people went after the CNN anchor.

Some deleted their initial tweets after watching the seriousness of the attack, such as Media Matters for America editor-at-large Parker Molloy.
