Ngo gained national attention for his reporting of Antifa in Portland – which has drawn the ire of left-wingers.
Ngo was attacked in June 2019 for being a journalist and covering an Antifa rally in Portland. He was taken to the hospital for his injuries.
In June 2021, Ngo was once again assaulted by leftwing assailants during a protest in Portland.
Reactions to the situation blasted Benson for the alleged confrontation and branded him a "racist."
Podcast host Lauren Chen: "White journalist harasses random Asian person at bar wrongly thinking he's Andy Ngo Because I guess we all look the same."
BlazeTV host Steven Crowder: "I don't throw this term around flippantly. But you are a genuinely racist, pathetic excuse for a man. And you deserve everything coming your way."
Journalist Jonathan Choe: "ASIAN MEN BEWARE: It's a good thing the Asian American Journalists Association Convention @aaja won’t be in New Orleans this year. @thor_benson and some of his followers are going after Asian guys who look like @MrAndyNgo but they got the wrong Asian. #StopAsianHate."
Attorney Harmeet K. Dhillon: "Bigot can’t tell different Asians apart. Who is the garbage person?"
Editor JD Rucker: "It wasn't actually Andy Ngo but I guess we all look the same to racists."
Journalist Ian Miles Cheong: "Liberals are now harassing random Asians because they can’t tell them apart from Andy Ngo."
Columnist Rita Panahi: "Racist Leftist loser thinks all Asians look alike. Abuses random Asian guy & comes on Twitter to brag about it."
Author Douglas Murray: "It wasn’t him. And you’re a racist. You gonna do this to black guys next? If they look like other guys you hate?"
Former Acting Director of the United States National Intelligence Richard Grenell: "Yesterday’s champions of diversity are today’s intolerants."
Commentator Stephen L. Miller: "'Andy Ngo is the white supremacist' screams the guy chasing random Asians out of bars because I guess they all look the same."
Editor Chadwick Moore: "You racially profiled a random Asian man you thought was Andy and then accosted him LOL #StopAsianHate."
I think the last one was in Portland during the riots. I wonder how many of these happen we don't hear about from the tolerant and diversity loving radical left.
