Senator Bernie Moreno (R-OH) released horrific looking photos Wednesday of “Holly”, the woman nearly beaten to death by a mostly Black mob in downtown Cincinnati early Saturday morning, that show the savagery of the attack on her.
Viral video showed Holly and another white man being brutally beaten. A screen image of Holly flat on her back with eyes fixed and blood streaming out of her mouth as a result of being sucker punched provoked nationwide outrage.

The FBI and the Justice Department’s Civil Rights division are investigating the incident. Vide President J.D. Vance, who has a home near Cincinnati, spoke out on the attack, condemning the man who sucker punched Holly.
Moreno posted photos of Holly along with criticism of local officials. Moreno also posted a screen image of comments by City Council member Victoria Parks who mocked the beating victims, “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 lowlifes with $400 bail, @RepGregLandsman silent & posting about Ukraine, City Council member blames the victim.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. We need and deserve change.”

Vivek Ramaswamy spoke with Holly earlier this week:
“I spoke to Holly earlier today (the woman tragically assaulted in Cincinnati this weekend). She’s a single working mom who went to a friend’s birthday party. It’s unconscionable that there were no police present in that area of Cincinnati on a Friday night, or even an ambulance to take her to the hospital. Hard-working Americans shouldn’t have to worry for their safety when they have a good time in our cities. Holly said not a single local or state official had yet reached out as of earlier this afternoon, other than one police detective. Leftists like to lecture about ‘systemic injustice’ while thugs turn our turn cities into war zones. I’m done with their excuses. As governor, I’ll make sure they’re behind bars, not running wild. Our cops will have the green light to restore order—no apologies. Holly appreciates the kind words and prayers from patriots across the country, and hopes that the publicity around her story ensures that local & state leaders clean up our failing cities. We hope to visit Holly soon as she recovers.”

At a court hearing in Cincinnati Wednesday where three persons charged in the attack were arraigned and high bail set, prosecutors said the woman victim, without specifically naming Holly, is Russian and that she flew home the day after the attack on Sunday.
Two other unnamed suspects have been charged and are being sought by police.
