Andy Ngo is senior editor at The Post Millennial and author of the NYT bestseller, Unmasked: Inside Antifa’s Radical Plan to
Destroy Democracy. Earlier this week
at the NY Post, he reported on the
radical organization Antifa’s funding sources:
Last week, the city of Philadelphia
agreed to pay $9.25 million to 343 left-wing protesters who alleged they
suffered “physical and emotional injuries” when police used tear gas and pepper
spray to clear them off a major highway in downtown at a Black Lives
Matter-style direct action in 2020.
Videos recorded at the time showed
the mob shut down the highway while vandalizing public property.
As
a journalist who reports on the
militant far-left and its rioters, the question I’m asked most often
is, “Who funds them?”
Some believe billionaire George
Soros is responsible.
And they would be partially
correct. Soros funds groups that form part of the support apparatus of
left-wing militants — district attorneys, biased media and legal groups.
But his money doesn’t directly
reach the pockets of militants on the street.
Who ends up paying far-left rioters
like Antifa? Too often, taxpayers like you and me.
Through a developed network of
radical leftist legal groups, like the National Lawyers Guild, lawfare against
cities and police departments is the go-to method for payloads. . . .
Here’s the really ugly part:
. . . Nearly every American city
afflicted by mass protesting and rioting in 2020 ended up settling and paying
out millions in taxpayer money to radical protesters who were allegedly
subjected to force by law enforcement. . . .
