Teachers Union Boss Gets Schooled: Chris Rufo Threatens to “Wage Legal War” Against Randi Weingarten for Posting Completely Fabricated Quote from His Recent Speech

Filed Under: Gateway Pundit, THE NEWS

Chris Rufo is a writer, researcher and filmmaker. He is currently a contributing editor at The City Journal where he covers critical race theory, homelessness, addiction crime and otehr afflictions.

Chris is an outstanding investigative reporter and exposed and crushed critical race theory indoctrination programs in our schools and in the workplace. Chris also helped expose the filth being taught and shared in classrooms today. Because of this he is of course hated by the left. In fact, Chris Rufo is so hated by the left that they are fabricating Chris Rufo quotes.

Far-left American Federation of Teachers union boss Randi Weingarten on Saturday made up a completely bogus Chris Rufo quote and posted it on Twitter.

But Chris Rufo did not sit back and take it. Chris responded to Weingarten with a choice, either take down the tweet or he will “wage a legal war” against her!

So far, Twitter has not censored or shut down her account for posting fake news.

The fact that the Teacher’s Union President must resort to outright lies against the man to take him down a notch.

Here is the Twitter thread.

Here are screengrabs of the tweets in case far left Twitter decides to play tricks.

Ghost of Tsushima Movie Adaptation Finds Its Screenwriter

Filed Under: ENTERTAINMENT, IGN

Sony Pictures has named Takashi Doscher as the writer for the upcoming Ghost of Tsushima film adaptation, according to Deadline.

Doscher previously wrote sci-fi romance Only, and his most recent project, Blue, is a twist on a Japanese monster movie that’s currently in development.

The story will be a retelling of Jin Sakai’s journey as seen in Ghost of Tsushima, where the samurai warrior fights to free the island of Tsushima from a Mongol invasion.

A movie based on the 2020 PlayStation 4 exclusive was announced last year, where we learned John Wick director Chad Stahelski will helm the project. The production will also have input from Sucker Punch, the studio that developed the video game.

Stahelski has said the filmmakers are “taking our time and doing it right. We’re working very closely with the game developers to make sure we stick to what’s great about it.”

The Ghost of Tsushima movie is just one part of a larger push from Sony to bring its PlayStation IP to the silver screen. Beyond Ghost, there’s the recently-released Uncharted movie, The Last of Us TV show, a God of War series, and more.

If you’ve yet to dive into the world of Ghost of Tsushima, you can check out our review of the game.

‘Progressive’ freelance writer branded a ‘racist’ for reportedly accosting a random Asian man who he thought was journalist Andy Ngo

Filed Under: The Blaze, THE NEWS

A self-described “progressive” freelance writer reportedly accosted an Asian man who he believed to be journalist Andy Ngo at a bar in New Orleans. However, Ngo said the writer bullied a random Asian man because he was not in the state of Louisiana at the time of the harassment.

Thor Benson is a freelance writer for left-wing media outlets such as The Atlantic, The Daily Beast, NBC News, and Business Insider. On Friday at 1:26 a.m., Benson proudly boasted on Twitter: “I just ran into Andy Ngo at a bar in New Orleans. I politely told him he’s a ‘garbage person.’ Lol.”

“I was at a dive bar and he came in and started talking to people and I put my hand on his shoulder and said it and then went out for a cigarette,” Benson said of the alleged encounter.

Benson claimed that the man he harassed “just left,” adding, “I think my comment made him nervous lol.”

Some of Benson’s followers advocated that he should have assaulted the man at the bar.

One of Benson’s followers replied, “Did you throw a whiskey sour with a brick garnish at him? He needs the attention.”

However, Ngo disputes Benson’s story.

“Thor Benson, a freelance contributor to @thedailybeast, @PopSci & others tried to racially profile me in public & instead ended up harassing a random Asian victim,” Ngo wrote on Twitter. “Benson announced this proudly & his followers urged violence against the man.”

Ngo pointed out that he was “live streaming on GETTR on Thursday night” around the time that Benson claimed he confronted the journalist.

The Post Millennial – where Ngo is the editor-at-large – reported: “Ngo, a Portland, Oregon, native, was not even in New Orleans, nor Louisiana, at the time Benson approached the stranger and harassed him until he left.”

Reactions to the situation blasted Benson for the alleged confrontation and branded him a “racist.”

Podcast host Lauren Chen: “White journalist harasses random Asian person at bar wrongly thinking he’s Andy Ngo Because I guess we all look the same.”

BlazeTV host Steven Crowder: “I don’t throw this term around flippantly. But you are a genuinely racist, pathetic excuse for a man. And you deserve everything coming your way.”

Journalist Jonathan Choe: “ASIAN MEN BEWARE: It’s a good thing the Asian American Journalists Association Convention @aaja won’t be in New Orleans this year. @thor_benson and some of his followers are going after Asian guys who look like @MrAndyNgo but they got the wrong Asian. #StopAsianHate.”

Attorney Harmeet K. Dhillon: “Bigot can’t tell different Asians apart. Who is the garbage person?”

Editor JD Rucker: “It wasn’t actually Andy Ngo but I guess we all look the same to racists.”

Journalist Ian Miles Cheong: “Liberals are now harassing random Asians because they can’t tell them apart from Andy Ngo.”

Columnist Rita Panahi: “Racist Leftist loser thinks all Asians look alike. Abuses random Asian guy & comes on Twitter to brag about it.”

Author Douglas Murray: “It wasn’t him. And you’re a racist. You gonna do this to black guys next? If they look like other guys you hate?”

Former Acting Director of the United States National Intelligence Richard Grenell: “Yesterday’s champions of diversity are today’s intolerants.”

Commentator Stephen L. Miller: “‘Andy Ngo is the white supremacist’ screams the guy chasing random Asians out of bars because I guess they all look the same.”

Editor Chadwick Moore: “You racially profiled a random Asian man you thought was Andy and then accosted him LOL #StopAsianHate.”

Keith Olbermann shared a fake screenshot claiming that Ngo was assaulted by a sex toy, a claim that Ngo declared, “That’s a fake tweet that was made by a far-left account to fool gullible people like you.”

The fake screenshot reported swirled around the internet in August 2021 after being shared by an account that has since been suspended.

Ngo gained national attention for his reporting of Antifa in Portland – which has drawn the ire of left-wingers.

Ngo was attacked in June 2019 for being a journalist and covering an Antifa rally in Portland. He was taken to the hospital for his injuries.

In June 2021, Ngo was once again assaulted by leftwing assailants during a protest in Portland.

ANALYSIS: No Cares About Ukraine As Much As Jennifer Rubin

Filed Under: INVESTIGATIONS, Washington Free Beacon

Jennifer Rubin, a “pro-democracy opinion writer,” cares more about Ukraine than anyone else living within the Acela corridor, a Washington Free Beacon analysis has determined.

The Washington Post journalist’s verified Twitter account lists her name as “Jennifer ‘I stand with Ukraine’ Rubin,” which suggests an extraordinary level of dedication to the Ukrainian people and their efforts to defend their country in the face of Russian aggression.

The intensity of Rubin’s passion for Ukraine is further evidenced by the double Ukrainian flag emoji that also appear on her verified Twitter account. This means that every time Rubin posts a tweet—whether it be an inspiring message or some insightful commentary—every single one of her 668,000 followers is reminded that she stands with Ukraine and cares at least twice as much as the average social media poster.

We don’t know what she’s talking about, either. In any event, Rubin’s selfless display of support for the Ukrainian cause should serve as inspiration to her fellow social media posters to start caring more and be better global citizens in these increasingly turbulent times. God bless!
