This was brought up today on one of the pundit shows so I thought I would do a little investigating. You have to subscribe to the link that Prime provided so I don’t if his article included this…also, Ngo was attacked with cement filled cups..

This is a photo of Andy Ngo covered in a milkshake which was thrown at him. Maybe it looks like cement to some folks, but it isn't.
A right-wing meme was born the weekend after Portland police said they’d been informed that Antifa protesters had pelted far-right demonstrators with
cement milkshakes. Conservative internet trolls, including Pizzagate conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec and writer Ian Miles Cheong, pounced, tweeting that left-wingers were pelting people with cement drinks. Their followers ran with it, posting photos of concrete burns suffered by the demonstrators.
Except that
none of it was true. There’s no evidence that the milkshakes contained cement. The photos were fake. And the police got it all wrong, and in the process birthed a right-wing internet movement based on a falsehood.
Here’s what actually happened: The Proud Boys, a neo-fascist group, held a rally in Portland. Protesters aligned with Antifa, the anti-fascist movement, showed up, and some of them sold
vegan milkshakes to other protesters. Throwing milkshakes, or
“milkshaking,” has become a left-wing protest tactic, aimed at embarrassing the far right, and some of the protesters proceeded to pelt Proud Boy demonstrators with their drinks, according to reports.
