Man in the blue hat? Gregory Issacson, an alt-right Holocaust-denying troll w ties to Patriot Prayer & Identity Evropa. Antifa didn't "find" him. He deliberately provoked all day. Rode his bike into the middle of black bloc protesters. Sprayed in face? Yes... with silly stringpic.twitter.com/DmFsmkK5Dd

Andy claims a bicyclist swerved to avoid "an antifa person." A reporter on the ground saw it differently.pic.twitter.com/F56522vN6f

This dude was part of American Guard, whom the Anti-Defamation League has described as "hardcore white supremacists." He opened the bus door to charge at counter-protesters with a hammer, which an anti-fascist then seized from him.pic.twitter.com/hqcFCx1GHz

I saw this all go down. Police were absolutely in sight. They arrived quickly and broke things up.pic.twitter.com/7a21oC0kvi

Andy omits some context here, insinuates the bear spray belonged to these anti-fascists. I don't think that's true. Early Saturday I saw cops confiscate a flag pole from a crew of Proud Boys/Portland Liberation/MAGA people. Also confiscated: that identical can of bear spray.pic.twitter.com/wfGbR1LHLa

And this man is John Turano (aka Based Spartan), a well-known & violent white nationalist. That "young girl" is his adult daughter, who is in her 20s. Turano goes to these rallies to provoke violence. @jason_a_w saw Turano upset that alt-righters weren't going after antifa.pic.twitter.com/aMouSTU4yc

And here's a post Turano made before the rally. "I hope my daughter gets her ass beat... standing with me is dangerous.... I welcome the violent and the hate." (h/t @krossny1 for finding this)pic.twitter.com/vT8BONprbl

Another apparent distortion from Andy explained here:https://twitter.com/Avi_Bueno/status/1163282947199426560 …

Christopher Mathias added,

Avi Bueno @Avi_Bueno

Another example of @MrAndyNgo's fascist propaganda spiraling: 1) Guy w/ "100% redneck" vest & hands wrapped (ready to fight) in standoff w/ antifa, gets knocked out 2) Andy claims he was attacked by a "mob" 3) Right wing site: "Antifa Protesters Beat Elderly Man Unconscious" pic.twitter.com/i8TS9trpUy

  I had a good laugh though. Here I am leaving the socialist party and become a democrat. But driving an e-scooter with my fibromyalgia would make me Antifa. Im so confused now
