“I hope this story with Mr. Smollett will lead to a pivot in our culture where we start to really embrace caution and skepticism again.”

Journalist Andy Ngo has turned owning the libs into a science.

On Tuesday, the Quillette editor launched into day two of a viral, fact-based Twitter rant about what he sees as hate-crime hysteria in the Trump era. Inspired by mounting evidence that actor Jussie Smollett staged a “MAGA”-themed attack against himself, Ngo has so far compiled 27 examples of apparently similar hoaxes – all supported by hard-to-deny reporting.

Ngo’s “#HateHoax” Twitter thread won him plaudits from a number of critics of liberal culture.

Daily Caller editorial director Vince Coglianese called it a “stunning list.”

This is a stunning list. Far too many incidents of people taking advantage of the fundamental goodness of Americans to hurt political opponents or fulfill some perverse selfish goal. https://t.co/AQwReSC3lX — Vince Coglianese (@VinceCoglianese) February 18, 2019

Fox News host Greg Gutfield hoped against hope that a small percentage of “the media” would read the thread.

it would be wishful thinking to hope that maybe 10 percent of the media might read this entire thread. https://t.co/hiM070TsGJ — GregGutfeld (@greggutfeld) February 18, 2019

Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson advised his more than 1 million followers to contribute to a Patreon account that Ngo set up to monetize his efforts.

Even as he outlined a mini-moral panic, Ngo found time to call out some of the journalists, academics, celebrities, and Democratic politicians who credulously amplified Smollett’s claims.

While largely ignored by the US media, Ngo list also earned him an appearance on UK talkRADIO, during which he explained the thinking behind the project.

“When I was looking into hate crime hoaxes that have happened in the past couple of years, they mostly centered around right after the election, where there was this panic – many instances of people making up attacks blamed on white Trump supporters,” Ngo said. “I hope this story with Mr. Smollett will lead to a pivot in our culture where we start to really embrace caution and skepticism again.”

He added: “I particularly resent that Mr. Smollett, in his only interview on ‘Good Morning America,’ sat down and said that those who [didn’t believe him] were likely motivated by racism.”

Was the alleged assault on US actor Jussie Smollett one of several 'hate crime hoaxes' to smear Donald Trump supporters?@toadmeister | @MrAndyNgo | https://t.co/sv3MZUm41c pic.twitter.com/s8IhlJx5q2 — talkRADIO (@talkRADIO) February 18, 2019

According to FBI stats, the number of reported hate crimes has risen significantly in recent years, including a 17 percent increase to more than 7,000 in 2017. While liberal activists have argued that such incidents are still underreported, many conservatives see the whole category as largely subjective and subject to inflation. Ngo has made that view hard to ignore.
