ASSASSINATION CULTURE: Antifa worried about unity on the right, will seek ways to break it up: Andy Ngo

Journalist and New York Times bestselling author Andy Ngo told The Chris Salcedo Show that Antifa groups are worried about the unity forming on the right following the assassination of Charlie Kirk and are openly strategizing on how to fracture it.

"You know, I’ve been tracking what Antifa have been saying and writing in response to the assassination,” Ngo said. “Obviously, they were celebrating, but they’ve also now—particularly from one Antifa group in Oregon—they published an after-action report looking at the days following the assassination, and they’re actually quite concerned about the unity on the American right. They’re concerned that groups of conservatives who weren’t politically active before have become quite, you could say, motivated or activated to get involved, such as schoolchildren or families. And this is a point of concern for them, and they’re discussing ways to try to break up that unity, and they discuss different tactics to divide and conquer.”

Ngo added that Antifa has noticed the backlash against educators and others who publicly celebrated Kirk’s death. “So this pushback that we’re seeing on people being educators who have said horrific things, I think, beyond the conversation about if that’s the right tactic or not, the other side sees it, and they’re actually afraid.”

Salcedo opened the segment by pointing to reports in Texas that nearly 300 teachers are under investigation for rhetoric about the assassination. “If this is happening in a red state like Texas, I shudder to think what’s happening in the People’s Republic of California in GovEd,” Salcedo said. 

Ngo commented on what has been happening in the aftermath of the shooting, and said, "We are so beyond cancel culture right now. We are dealing with an assassination culture, so wake up to it."

The unification of large parts of the right comes after conservative organizer and commentator Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Suspect Tyler Robinson has been charged with his murder and reportedly confessed to the crime to friends on a Discord channel. He allegedly engraved his bullets with phrases like "Hey fascist! Catch!" as well as the lyrics of “Bella Ciao,” a known Antifa-linked song. Robinson was turned in to police by his father after his parents became concerned that the suspect shown on TV looked strikingly similar to their son.
