On Monday, Andy Ngo, editor-at-large at The Post Millennial, testified before the House Oversight Committee, powerfully rebutting Rep. Jerry Nadler's insistence that when it comes to the protests and riots spreading across America after the horrific police killing of George Floyd, the presence of antifa instigators is "Imaginary." Ngo, who has suffered serious injury from antifa attacks, is a living rebuke to such claims.

Jordan asked Ngo to respond to the claim that antifa is "Imaginary."
Last June, a violent antifa assault landed Ngo in the hospital with a brain hemorrhage.
"Police in Portland and Seattle, like elsewhere, have sustained serious injuries from rocks, bricks, concrete chunks, IEDs, and more. I've witnessed how-while shouting 'peaceful protest'-violent agitators from the crowd blind officers with lasers or paintballs before throwing projectiles at them," Ngo testified.
When rioters cynically exploit a peaceful protest and police act to prevent loss of life and livelihoods, their actions are "Framed as police brutality." Ngo lamented that in response, Portland's City Council restrained police from using many of the tools available for restoring law and order.
"I don't know what politicians want police to do. Do you want them to protect life and protect property, or do you want them to let rioters destroy and kill as they've done?" Ngo asked.
