The Gateway Pundit recently reported on a horrifying incident in Cincinnati where a white woman, identified as Holly, was viciously assaulted by a violent mob. The attack, captured on video, shows Holly being struck so hard that she lost consciousness, her head slamming onto the pavement as blood poured from her mouth. Despite the brutality of the assault, Holly revealed an infuriating detail to former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy: not a single Ohio politician—Democrat or Republican—bothered to reach out to her. The only official who contacted her was a single police detective, exposing the stunning indifference of the state’s so-called leaders.
Ramaswamy, who spoke with Holly, shared her story on X, stating:
“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’s ordeal highlights the complete failure of liberal leadership in cities across America. While leftist politicians and their media allies preach about “systemic injustice,” they turn a blind eye to the real violence plaguing our streets—violence that disproportionately targets innocent citizens like Holly.
Ramaswamy didn’t hold back, slamming the hypocrisy of the Left:
“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 also vowed to take a tough-on-crime stance, promising:
“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.”
This incident is yet another example of why President Donald Trump’s law-and-order policies are desperately needed. While the liberal media downplays urban violence and attacks on innocent Americans, Trump has consistently stood with victims, calling for strong policing, harsher penalties for criminals, and an end to the chaos enabled by weak Democratic leadership.
Holly’s story should serve as a wake-up call. If liberal mayors and governors won’t protect their citizens, then it’s time for real leaders like Trump to step in and restore safety, accountability, and justice.
