Andy Ngo is the Quillette editor who says he was assaulted by Antifa members during a rally in Portland, Oregon. On June 29, left-wing activists descended on Pioneer Courthouse Square in the city to counter protest a Proud Boy rally named “Him Too” which was due to take place at 1 p.m. Ngo began tweeting about his assault prior to the actual start of the rally as he says he was recognized by counter-protesters.

That rally was being opposed by Rose City Antifa and the Democratic Socialists of America of Portland, reports KPTV. The event happened nearly one year to the day of a similar event in downtown Portland.

On his Twitter bio, Ngo says that he is “Hated by Antifa.” Ngo is a resident of Portland and frequently writes about the Antifa movement. During one video recording of the June 29 protest one woman can be heard saying, “F*** you Andy.” On May 7, Ngo posted a video to Twitter showing a man he said had assaulted him at his gym. The night before the June 29 assault, Ngo tweeted that he was “nervous” about the rally as he posted a screenshot of an Antifa blog that singled Ngo out as the group promised a “physical confrontation.”

Quillette, the outlet that Ngo primarily works for, has been described by the Daily Beast as “a site that fancies itself intellectually contrarian but mostly publishes right-wing talking points couched in grievance politics.”

We are encouraging anyone hit with a substance today to report it to police.”

The Oregonian reports that the protests ended just before 5:30 p.m. One of the Oregonian’s photographers, Dave Killen, tweeted that “the last of the right-wing group” was gone before 7:30 p.m. local time. An intern with the newspaper said that she heard members of the crowd say at around 7:00 p.m., “Who is who? Where are the Nazis?” To which someone replied, “They went home. They took Ubers.”
