Vance Addresses Cincinnati Brawl:
Viral Downtown Brawl Sparks Outrage
Vice President JD Vance condemned a violent fight in Cincinnati that went viral on social media. “What I saw is a mob of lawless thugs beating up on an innocent person, and it’s disgusting,” he said during a press event in Ohio.
Call for Justice and Safety
Vance called for strict prosecution, especially condemning a man who “sucker-punched a middle-aged woman.” He added, “When you have a grown man who sucker punches a middle-aged woman, that person ought to go to jail for a very long time.” Vance emphasized the need to “make great American cities safe again for families and children.”
Police Response and Charges
Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge confirmed five people have been charged related to the incident, with more arrests expected. The brawl involved a crowd stamping on a man and a woman knocked unconscious while trying to help.
Victims’ Plight and Criticism
Ohio GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy spoke with the injured woman, saying she told him “not a single local or state official had yet reached out” except one detective.
