Slate’s Aymann Ismail has quite the take on the assault of Andy Ngo, saying, basically, he deserved it:
I’d argue what the fear mongering he’s done against Muslims plus the work he’s done to discredit hate crimes, helped create an atmosphere of violence that vulnerable people all have to live through just for being who they are. This is bad, but he’s guilty of worse.

Chaser. . .
And here comes the boom from Ambassador Richard Grenell:
Slate reporter justifies attacks on gay Asian because he’s conservative. He has a brain bleed. Where are the adults at @Slate? All violence must be condemned. https://t.co/TunKaXvWvu

But wait, there’s more! Dan Bongino:
Another violent, out-of-control, disturbed, leftist apologizing for the maniacs that savagely attacked a minority reporter in Portland this weekend. These people are deeply disturbed, violent tyrants. Keep your head on swivel around these maniacs. ?? https://t.co/WuL3KTfeoC

Michelle Malkin:
Slate reporter on @MrAndyNgo : He deserved it because you should be beaten and subjected to chemical attacks for exposing hate crimes hoaxes and documenting Antifa violence.#PROTECTANDYNGO https://t.co/cxXC69LqX8

Great take you got there, Slate guy:
"Because we need to believe fake hate crimes in order to feel good about ourselves, and anyone who exposes that they are fake deserves to get beaten up by our masked cowards." — @aymanndotcom https://t.co/AL7yxCiUjp

On the one hand, he ended up in the hospital with a brain bleed. But on the other hand, he said ISIS was bad, so who are we to judge?

He got a brain bleed. No big deal, right? He said ISIS is bad so that means he deserves to be hospitalized. https://t.co/2M09BtO4Iu

Sounds a lot like “She deserved it because she wore a revealing skirt.”@MrAndyNgo did not deserve to be beaten. And he certainly doesn’t deserve to hear from fellow journalists who shrug it off like maybe he did. https://t.co/1lhUM5tZuf

I find it deeply disturbing that US journalists feel comfortable openly justifying violence against people they disagree with politically. https://t.co/HBHB45ylkj

Grenell is also calling for a DOJ investigation of what happened:
I just spoke with @MrAndyNgo. He is strong but still hurt. He is trying to recover while watching for signs to make sure his brain bleed doesn't get worse. This attack on him must be investigated. @TheJusticeDept

Oh, and Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler is about to enjoy his time in the spotlight:
This is outrageous. Where was Portland Mayor @tedwheeler? https://t.co/7KJ9Ejw1p4
