Leftists and trolls (same difference these days) have apparently been sharing a doctored screenshot of a supposed story Robby Soave wrote about Andy Ngo hiring Proud Boys to pose as Antifa to attack him … Robby himself called this BS out.
Trolls have been tweeting this doctored, fake screenshot of an article I supposedly wrote. My actual article made no such claims, and included a vastly different headline. If this is the evolved form of fake news, it’s mildly terrifying. I have asked @Twitter to take action. pic.twitter.com/cRgjc3Mta0

Anything to make Andy the bad guy. This is awful.
Disgusting even.
Really grateful to Soave for calling out this ‘fake news’ and asking Twitter to take action, although we’ll be shocked if they actually do anything about it. They suspended an account yesterday for sharing the video that showed Ngo’s attack so … yeah.
Here is my actual article https://t.co/3Jhs45wCvm

Gosh, that looks a whole lot different.
Now you know you've made it.

Ironically, after I called out antifa, they've been claiming I hired some white nationalist to push a story I covered a few months ago. They're claiming they have evidence that I funded the entire "hoax" — these people are insane.

Lying liars lie.
So, the propaganda machine has gone from "It's only a Milkshake" to "This never happened" to "The Proud Boys did it."
Hmm–almost as if they're a bunch of lying scumbags who aren't the slightest big interested in facts.

Something like that.
But the ends justify the means or something …
For those wondering: YES, people are actually falling for this fake screenshot. I came across one account yesterday who was promoting it as fact, and several more today. pic.twitter.com/WWKk1zpHod

Wish we could say this is unbelievable or even surprising but it’s not.
It’s all too typical.
