February 04 2021 After being accused by Andy Ngo of defamation, Gregory McKelvey indicated that he has no plans to apologize or retract his statements. The war of words between prominent left- and right-wing voices could turn into another legal battle. Lawyers for author Andy Ngo claim political consultant Gregory McKelvey made false and defamatory statements during the run-up to the publication of Ngo's first book, "Unmasked," a less than flattering look at the local anti-fascists known as antifa. McKelvey had panned Powell's Books for keeping Ngo's tome for sale online — though the bookseller pledged not to stock physical copies on its shelves in response to protests — with McKelvey writing in a Jan. 11 tweet that Ngo "provided kill lists to Neo-Nazis," "rioted with far-right activists at a local bar" and "consistently and purposely puts people's lives in danger."
