Tucker Carlson on Friday night interviewed a Portland-based reporter who was harassed and threatened by Antifa.

The segment began with Carlson airing Andy Ngo’s footage from an Antifa rally, in which some members yelled and cursed at him.

WATCH:

“Your parents would be embarrassed by you — and your grandparents — who have been oppressed by white men throughout history. You should be ashamed of yourself,” a protester said to Ngo. (RELATED: Antifa Member Tells Journalist ‘Death Is Coming To You’)

In the footage, Ngo proceeded to ask why he should be ashamed, and the protester answered, “You’re an Asian giving in to white supremacy, motherfucker.”

A different Antifa rally participant yelled, “Nobody likes you. The city fucking hates you. You’re trash. Get the fuck out of here.”

Carlson asked Ngo questions about his experiences and his reporting on Antifa. Ngo recently published “What’s the matter with Portland?” and Carlson asked him about it.

“So these ideas on the left just sort of become radicalized in their own echo chambers. The city is very secular. So there’s an erosion of traditional sources of purpose and meaning, for example, from religion,” Ngo answered. “People are turning to political ideologies, and they want to be heroes, but instead of dedicating their lives to service or joining the military, they are joining movements like Antifa and going to the street to fight because they think they’re actually in a battle with fascists.”

Carlson followed up, “That’s a deep and true analysis, I think. Portland is a beautiful city and there are normal people, nice people who live there. What do they think? Not everybody in Portland agrees with Antifa. Do they have a voice?” (RELATED: ‘Do Him Like Gaddafi’ — Antifa Protesters Caught On Video Threatening To Kill The President)

“I think the genius in Antifa is actually in the name. They have put themselves in a position where it’s actually very hard for left-leaning or left-wing politicians to criticize because then it sounds like you’re against anti-fascist, which sounds like a noble thing to be right?” Ngo added.

He continued, “So for a long time, Portland residents were reluctant to be too critical of this movement, but as Portland has been victimized through various riots and scenes of violence, I think more normal people are waking up and seeing that this movement is a little bit indiscriminate in who they target. They’ve targeted regular citizens for example trying to drive through, trying to pass through, or trying run a business.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
