Holly Was Knocked Out By A Black Mob, And Cincinnati’s Leftist Officials Blamed Her

Update (2115ET):

Meet Holly, the woman brutally knocked unconscious and beaten in the street by a Black mob during last weekend’s Cincinnati Jazz Festival in the downtown area.

Here’s Holly. 

Holly days later. 

According to Council Member Victoria Parks, Holly and the other individual attacked (White male) “begged for that beat down.” Let that sink in.

The city’s own leadership has defended the mob, not the victims. Even Police Chief Teresa Theetge downplayed the attack. 

The message from Cincinnati’s woke leadership is loud and clear: lawlessness is tolerated, and victims are to be blamed.

Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) first released shocking images of Holly on X. He wrote:

This is Holly. She wanted to have a nice evening out with friends. Instead, she got this. Holly gave me permission to release the photos so that others will never suffer what she did.

Cincinnati is an amazing and spectacular City. It deserves political leadership that matches the greatness of its citizens.@AftabPureval issues a late/weak statement, Police Chief blames social media (not the lack of almost 200 officers), Prosecutor @ConniePillich lets off… pic.twitter.com/6BzfO48m4G

Moreno told local media that the U.S. attorney general has launched an FBI investigation into the attack.

If this garbage persists, federal funding must be cut. The group should face hate crime charges. A mob of Blacks brutally attacked a white man and woman at the Cincinnati Jazz Festival.

The woke Cincinnati leadership is suffering from ideological rot; leftists reward attackers and vilify the victims.

If the roles were reversed, say a White mob attacking Black partygoers, there would’ve already been protests by rogue leftist NGOs, national media outrage, and every social justice warrior flooding the streets with demands for “justice”, as well as NGOs fundraising like no other. But when the victims are White? Silence. Excuses. And worse, victims get blamed.

Cory Bowman, the half-brother of Vice President J.D. Vance and also running for mayor of Cincinnati, ignited outrage on X after exposing a disturbing social media post by Cincinnati Council Member Victoria Parks, who said the Whites “begged for that beat down” in downtown Cincinnati last weekend. This comes on the heels of Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge’s absurd attempt to downplay the Black mob assault, raising very serious concerns about the city’s woke leadership.

“They begged for that beat down! I am grateful for the whole story,” Parks wrote on what appears to be a Facebook post. Bowman took a screenshot of the post and reposted it on X. 

“Actual social media comments made by a sitting member of Cincinnati City Council …” Bowman wrote…

Profiling Parks: Here’s what the City of Cincinnati’s website comes up … all you need to know about this social justice warrior:

According to one of Parks’ X re-posts, she is a mega anti-Trumper:

She believes in “free everything,” and this pattern of political policies is becoming increasingly common among Democrats who are openly embracing socialism and Marxism, such as the Democratic mayoral candidate in NYC.

One X user asked: “I’ve seen a lot of people saying they saw “additional footage” that put the reaction of the crowd “in some context,” and clearly Ms. Parks saw something so damning that it justified “that beat down.” But I can’t seem to actually FIND any footage like that. Can you point me to it?”

Earlier this week, Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge failed to answer a reporter’s simple question about “What exactly was distorted?” in the video.

Musk commeneted on the video, saying, “Either she [Theetge] answers the question or she should resign.”

Fox News reported earlier that three people have been arrested in connection with the beatdown…

Meanwhile, Harmeet Dhillon, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Justice, is closely monitoring the situation. 

These attacks are ATTEMPTED MURDERS + HATE CRIMES!
