About the Creator

Andy Ngo is a journalist known for reporting on antifa and left-wing activism[1][3]. His work has appeared in outlets including the New York Post and Newsweek[3], though his credibility is disputed—critics argue his reporting relies on selective framing and unverified claims rather than rigorous journalism[2][4].

What's This About?

This post claims that 'leftist extremists' on social media are inciting riots in Minnesota following the shooting death of an anti-ICE protester who was accelerating a vehicle toward an ICE agent[1]. The post frames social media statements as evidence of coordinated violence incitement. The framing conflates social media rhetoric with actual organized violence and presents the incident through a specific political lens.

🔥Why It's Trending

The post combines multiple high-stakes elements: law enforcement action, immigration policy, potential protest escalation, and claims of violence incitement—all topics that generate significant engagement across political divides. The timing coincides with ongoing debates about protest movements and ICE enforcement.
