> Being invited by Republicans to speak before Congress is just more evidence that Andy Ngo is far right, from my perspective. I guess as long as you hold that being invited by Democrats to speak before Congress makes someone far left, that would be fair.

Perhaps. Let's look at Andy Ngo's invitation in context. Republican lawmakers asked him to testify during hearings about the January 6 insurrection attempt. His testimony mainly aimed to downplay the feeble insurrection attempt, and shift focus to riots. Of course, he fails to mention that the riots were often directly caused by police action. https://www.courthousenews.com/domestic-terror-still-thorny-issue-for-lawmakers-after-capitol-attack/ https://www.courthousenews.com/domestic-terror-still-thorny-... https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/05/opinion/sunday/police-riots.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/05/opinion/sunday/police-rio...

  Well right, because Jan 6th was a peaceful protest until cops started murdering protesters. The only deaths were of protesters, and the only murderers were the cops. Nobody was arrested for bringing a gun/weapon into the capital, and the guards unlocked the doors to let protesters in. I mean the fact republicans weren't allowed to appoint anyone to the Jan 6th committee should tell you everything you need to know
