The white woman who was viciously pummeled by blacks in Cincinnati last weekend is now speaking for the first time, while a black pastor in the city is calling for the white victims of the beatdown to be arrested and have their mugshots made public.
“I just want to say thank you to everyone for all of the love and support,” said Holly through tears.
“It is very humbling that to have your prayers, your blessings. It’s definitely what’s keeping me going. And you have just brought back faith in humanity. So God bless you all and thank you.
Holly has been in hiding since the vicious mob attack in Cincinnati.
This is her first message on camera.

“I appreciate everything that you’re doing for me and my family. It’s been very, very hard, and I’m still recovering. I still have a very bad brain trauma. Thank you. Thank you everyone.”
A GiveSendGo account has been set up to help Holly, whose last name has not been provided, and it has already raised nearly $160,000.
Pastor Damon Lynch of the New Prospect Baptist Church in Cincinnati is now urging the arrest of any white person who may have started the violence, even if he or she were a victim.
“Nobody’s asking, why didn’t he just walk away?” Lynch said at a news conference with city officials and leaders.
“When I see the mugshots, I only see people who look like me. I don’t see the person who re-engaged, slapped not the initial person, but slapped another black man. So I don’t see the slapper’s mugshot.”
“This is racial, because it is unequal justice. And so until we see all the mugshots, this is still a racial issue.”

Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval agreed with Lynch, suggesting even those who were beaten could face charges.
“I agree with Pastor Lynch, that there is no doubt that this public safety challenge, that this incident will require further investigation, further charges and further arrests for every single person involved,” Pureval said.
“The investigation is ongoing, and I expect that we will have more charges and more arrests as the investigation proceeds,” the mayor added.
“This was an awful incident, and our law enforcement has been working quickly and effectively to bring all responsible to justice.”
“Let me be clear there is no place for violent crime in Cincinnati, whether it’s a fight or gun violence. We will pursue those responsible and we will hold them accountable no matter who they are.”
As WorldNetDaily reported last week, Cincinnati City Council President Victoria Parks said the victims “begged for that beat down!”
Meanwhile, U.S. Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, spoke with journalist Benny Johnson about the incident, with the senator saying the city has suggested the woman beaten is a Russian asset.
“So [CNN’s] Jake Tapper, who knows about this story, flagged it for him, decides not to cover it at all, Can you imagine just for a split second if the races were reversed?” Moreno asked Johnson.
Cincinnati officials are now placing the blame on hate crime victim Holly—falsely calling her a “Russian asset” to distract from the brutal mob attack she suffered.
Holly was born and raised in Ohio. She’s never even been to Russia.

“Jake Tapper would be living in Cincinnati. He would be covering this story 24/7. The breaking news alerts would be on all the time. Can you imagine if somehow we said, ‘Oh that person is some sort of criminal alien from some country like Haiti. They would slaughter us.”
Johnson responded: “We all are aware of what the reality would be if a bunch of young, white men hunted down elderly black couples at a country music festival. And then everybody stood around and cheered and filmed it as the couples got beat within an inch of their lives. It would end the country as we know it. Every major city would burn.”

Councilwoman Victoria Parks said she was “grateful” that the woman, “Holly,” was beaten unconscious.
