Journalist Andy Ngo, who was brutally attacked by Antifa members, said Monday that Republicans and President Trump are “correct” in pushing to designate the far-left group a terrorist organization.
“This will provide a framework for local authorities and, especially, federal authorities to start investigating this criminal cartel for the street thugs that they are,” Ngo told “Fox & Friends.”
“But in addition to the street hooliganism that we see over and over on the streets of America, this movement also has a political ideology that is agitating for a violent political revolution.”
Ngo, a conservative writer, was attacked by Antifa members during a clash with a far-right group called the “Proud Boys” last month. Ngo posted photos of himself from a hospital, with bruises, cuts, and scratches on his face and said he incurred a brain injury.
Trump posted on Twitter Saturday that designating terrorist status to Antifa is being considered after it was proposed by Republican Sens. Bill Cassidy and Ted Cruz.
Consideration is being given to declaring ANTIFA, the gutless Radical Left Wack Jobs who go around hitting (only non-fighters) people over the heads with baseball bats, a major Organization of Terror (along with MS-13 & others). Would make it easier for police to do their job!

Host Brian Kilmeade asked Ngo for an update on the Portland police investigation of his assault. Ngo said there have been no arrests in the four weeks since he was beaten and robbed.
“I don’t want to be cynical about the police investigation but this has been a pattern of incidents of Antifa violence in this city that never results in arrests or charges,” he responded.
He went on to say, “Portland’s government system is odd…our mayor is also our police commissioner and he’s up for re-election in a city that is mostly pro-Antifa and anti-police so you can imagine the variables that are causing what we are seeing now in Portland.”
