‘They Want to Destroy the United States,’ Andy Ngo Elaborates on Antifa
Andy Ngo, journalist and author of the recently released book “Unmasked: Inside Antifa’s Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy,” told NTD that Antifa isn’t about to fade away just because former President Donald Trump has left office.
Talking about his research on the inner mechanics and goals of Antifa, Ngo said that Antifa capitalized on claims in 2016 that Trump’s term was a fascist regime, to assert that their group was all about opposing American fascism.
But “that was always just a pretext for them to cause misery and carry out homicides and attacks,” Ngo said. “Now they say that they’re just opposing America itself, because America upholds systems of fascism that is interlinked with white supremacy and racism.”

“This violence and lawlessness has no place in the United States and will be called out for the domestic terrorism that it is.
