The victims of the now-viral brawl include a woman named Holly. She was knocked out in altercation Monday.
“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,” Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy reported after speaking with her.
“Hard-working Americans shouldn’t have to worry for their safety when they have a good time in our cities,” Ramaswamy said. “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 cities into war zones. I’m done with their excuses,” he continued. “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.”
