Meanwhile, Cockburn wonders quite where London-based Marshall will be going to examine his blindspots – after all, Britain is still in lockdown. The danger of Antifa & their allies is not only their willingness to carry out or support maiming, killing & terrorism-but also how they close curious minds from independent thought. I grieve for those who are made to suffer because they dare to read my work, or talk to me. Ngo refused to give Cockburn a quote on the semi-noble grounds that he didn’t want to cause Marshall more trouble. Having read Ngo’s book, however, and seen the destruction antifa wrought on American cities last year, Cockburn can’t help feeling that he is not the real menace in this story. Well, grifter is an idle insult that journalists, being lazy, love to hurl at each other.

What’s so wrong with Andy Ngo’s book? Well, in 2019 the Jacobin website described Ngo as ‘the most dangerous grifter in America’ for what it characterized as his incitement to harassment against left-wing protesters through, as the Guardian puts it, ‘the spread of false claims and selectively edited videos.’ I apologize, as this was not at all my intention.’ For now, please know that I realize how my endorsements have the potential to be viewed as approvals of hateful, divisive behavior. Marshall was putting down his banjo to reflect upon his sins: ‘As a result of my actions I am taking time away from the band to examine my blindspots. I have offended not only a lot of people I don’t know, but also those closest to me, including my bandmates and for that I am truly sorry.’ A repentant Marshall yesterday released a statement to his 7,000 followers on Twitter: ‘Over the past few days I have come to better understand the pain caused by the book I endorsed.

Mumford and Sons are evangelical Christians but they have always sought to keep religion and politics out of their work. How must Carey Mulligan, the actress who is married to Mumford and Sons’ singer Marcus Mumford, feel to know she is this close to literal Nazis who actually read and enjoy books that Progressive Twitter disapproves of? It’s hard to say. God bless the Wikipedia editors for this /8zzX66xVOz No place for fascists or their grifter enablers! /tYHmTSdkUT He is being criticized for congratulating a fascist enabler, calling that trash book ‘important’ & for saying a man who puts antifascist lives at risk is ‘brave’.

Winston Marshall is not being criticized for reading a book.
