Unmasking the Far-Left with Andy Ngô
Andy Ngô has been wading deep in the world of ANTIFA and its kin ever since he found himself witnessing the assault on Mike Strickland in 2016.

And, unfortunately, he found himself a target of their ire, culminating in a 2019 assault that left him hospitalized with a brain bleed.

SPECIAL REPORT: Chaos on the Hill - Featuring SABO + ANTIFA Versus Mike Strickland, Part 9: The Testimony
On January 6, 2021, an historic and disturbing chapter in US history unfolded in Washington, DC. As Congress gathered to certify the Electoral College ballots and certify Joe Biden as the President-elect, hundreds of Trump supporters forced their way into the Capitol, smashing windows and furniture, looting Congressional offices, swarming the Senate chamber and assaulting Capitol police, all in an apparent attempt to disrupt the vote certification. When the dust had settled, 4 people had lost their lives, including a 14-year US Air Force vet from San Diego who had apparently been shot by a protective detail while trying to crawl past a makeshift security barricade. Notorious conservative street artist SABO was on the ground as the mayhem began, and speaks from the street about what he observed.
PLUS: Part 9 of ANTIFA Versus Mike Strickland, in which Benjamin Kerensa gives his "testimony" about the events that led to Strickland's arrest.
