What do they call that? Posting your Ls? Well writer for NBC News, Daily Beast, and Rolling Stone Thor Benson did exactly that when he went on Twitter to brag about publicly harassing Asian-American journalist Andy Ngo this week.
Rolling Stone and Daily Beast and NBC News’s Thor Benson thought he was pretty cool and amazing as he smugly bragged about his harassment in the embarrassing tweet.
I just ran into Andy Ngo at a bar in New Orleans. I politely told him he's a "garbage person." Lol

All class, like his fellow MSM hacks and violent liberal fans, who replied to him with their hate-filled, murder fantasy wishes for Ngo.
Only problem? It wasn’t Andy Ngo.
Ngo called him out, tagging his employers enablers.
Thor Benson, a white freelance writer, thought he found me & instead harassed a random Asian in New Orleans & made him leave a bar. Benson's followers said the man should've been assaulted. @TracyConnor @CorinneIOZO you okay w/your contributor doing this?https://t.co/4AGDpu3YQd pic.twitter.com/C1NBGxq9VQ

Ngo also caught other MSM members liking and sharing it.
A senior editor of @Slate, Jordan Weissmann, was among those who liked Thor Benson's racist tweet announcing he had harassed a random Asian victim in New Orleans thinking it was me. @danathan, are these the values of your publication? #StopAsianHate

Benson is doubling, tripling, quadrupling down.
"Would have been more convincing if you hadn't responded when I called you by your name."@thedailybeast & @PopSci contributor Thor Benson has doubled down that the random Asian he harassed into leaving a bar on Thursday night was me. (It wasn't.) https://t.co/JjHmIja2pW pic.twitter.com/gkOnuEFsGF

Here’s a great summary.
A white dude walks into a bar… his obsessive hatred for an Asian person leads him to think a random Asian person is the object of his hatred. White dude harasses innocent & unknowing Asian person and drives him out of establishment- then laughs about it#StopAsianHate #WalkAway

I hope Thor Benson of the Daily Beast and NBC News and Rolling Stone and The Atlantic and Business Insider gets sued.
And fired.
