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.”
