The conservative op-ed website Quillette announced Monday night that controversial right-wing writer Andy Ngo is leaving his job as an editor at the site, an announcement that comes on the same day that a Portland newspaper published a story revealing that Ngo witnessed a far-right group planning violence but never reported it.

Ngo, a photographer who was until recently a sub-editor at Quillette, became a celebrity on Fox News and other pro-Trump media outlets after he was attacked by left-wing demonstrators at a Portland political rally in June. Ngo then became prominent as an opponent of political violence, with most of his criticism aimed at the left.

But footage taken by an undercover liberal activist in May and described on Monday by the Portland Mercury showed Ngo witnessing activists from the far-right group Patriot Prayer planning a violent confrontation at a bar associated with left-wing activists. Ngo never reported on what he had seen the Patriot Prayer members planning, and some of the people involved in the attack at the bar now face felony riot charges.

Hours after the Portland Mercury story ran on Monday, Ngo removed his Quillette job from his Twitter profile. Shortly after that, Ngo’s name disappeared from the masthead at Quillette, a self-described “platform for free thought” that has become a hub for the right-wing Intellectual Dark Web movement.

1. Thoughts and prayers, Andy!

Thoughts and prayers.

[Mike Nelson]

2. Maybe he can...

... stage a comeback by getting himself beat up by violent Elizabeth Warren protesters at a Trump rally? Or, he can start his own news site - Quilletiquette.

[not fooled]

12. "Quilletiquette"

"violent Elizabeth Warren protesters"

[ck4829]

24. LOL

[NBachers]

3. I hear there are career openings in the itinerant farm labor or meat processing trades, Andy!

[ck4829]

4. K&R

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. What is intellectual about beating up people at a bar?

[rmm311]

6. Maybe they violently debated.

It's dark? There might be some spider webs? Intellectual Dark Web!

[ck4829]

7. Not for normal people it isn't, but for far right degenerates, it sure is

"Let's organize to beat all the people different than us!" is the most networking they do

[Initech]

17. Nothing intellectual about getting hit with a pool cue!

[3Hotdogs]

8. "Right wing" and "Intellectual" in the same sentence.

Thousands of synapses were destroyed, trying to process that.

[Delphinus]

13. Thank you!

You replied with a coherent sentence - I was gobsmacked by that phrasing.

[3Hotdogs]

14. You mean, I did somthing good?

[ck4829]

20. Ha

[marble falls]

9. The same net that brings these idiots up, tears them down. Bye Andy!

[Coventina]

10. Can we now finally dispose of his alleged "victim-hood"?

Reason #1 for being targeted by the Antifa:


You're a fascist.

[ck4829]

21. +1

[PatSeg]

11. "Patriot Prayer" group?

Strange name for a group planning and promoting violence.

[maxsolomon]

16. First time hearing that? Yes, it is.

But they LOVE Amurka, and they LOVE praying.

"Proud Boys" is also a strange name for a group planning and promoting violence, but such is the perversity of the PNW.

[PatSeg]

19. Yes

In an effort to maintain some sanity, I'm afraid have to tune a lot of the crazy out these days.

I remember there used to be a Facebook page that was an odd mix of guns, the American flag, bibles, and half naked women. Absolutely bizarre and rather frightening. They got so many complaints due to the violent overtones, they had to go private.

I can't picture any of these freaks actually praying.

[ck4829]

25. People in Idiocracy finally found that "Time Masheen"

[PatSeg]

26. I can't count how many times

that movie has popped in my head. Often more prophetic and than spoof.

[ck4829]

23. Also, they're a bunch of like, what, 40 year old men still calling themselves "boys"

[ck4829]

22. Indeed

[maxsolomon]

15. But but but Antifa...

marking for later to send to my Fox-watching Dad.

[Initech]

18. So the cement milkshakes were pre-planned? I'm shocked! SHOCKED!!!

[riversedge]

27. my my How the mighty do FALL!
