Change an incorrect statement under "Controversies" for this page, namely, this statement is incorrect: "describes the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol as "peaceful and celebratory""
Andy Ngo did not call the Jan 6th storming of the Capitol "celebratory and peaceful". He was referring to a mid-November rally. One of the current cites for the incorrect statement even links to a source that literally states that - https://consequenceofsound.net/2021/03/mumford-and-sons-winston-marshall-andy-ngo/. From the article: "He also refers to the Proud Boys a “pro-Trump fraternity,” and describes a mid-November “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington as “peaceful and celebratory.”"
The Billboard article that the current incorrect Wiki statement relies on was incorrectly citing a LATimes article, the latter of which states: "The same section of “Unmasked” that ends with Ngo’s paean to the United States portrays a mid-November “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington as a “peaceful and celebratory” affair, with no mention of the Proud Boys amassed there."
It was the mid-November "Stop the Steal" rally in Washington that Ngo described as "peaceful and celebratory." The current statement Wikipedia has on this, that is was the Jan 6. storming, is blatant misinformation. Candoattitude17 (talk) 23:47, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
Section on Ngo
The section on how, in March 2021, Winston Marshall caused controversy by lauding a book by Ngo could be re-written for greater clarity, It could clarify that this was a tweet on Twitter, and that Marshall faced many tweets in response. Rollo August (talk) 20:42, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
