While taking questions during an appearance in Ohio, Vice President JD Vance was asked about the horrific footage of a black “teen mob” in Cincinnati setting upon white people attending a jazz festival at the weekend.
The footage circulated online but garnered little to no national or even local news coverage.
While a white male was jumped, others tried to prevent the attack, with a white woman being punched hard in the face by a black attacker, knocking her out cold. Other white people were violently attacked, seemingly for no reason than being there and being white.

Vance took issue with a reporter describing the incident as a “street attack.”
“You said a street fight in Cincinnati? What I saw is a mob of lawless thugs beating up on an innocent person, and it’s disgusting,” The Vice President urged.
He continued, “And I hope every one of those people who engage in violence is prosecuted to the full extent of the law. They will be.”
“They will be so long as law enforcement in the state of Ohio takes their job seriously. I know Dave Yost cares a lot about these things,” Vance further remarked referring to the Attorney General of Ohio.
“You had a grown man who sucker punched a middle-aged woman! That person ought to go to jail for a very long time – and frankly, he’s lucky there weren’t some better people around because they would’ve handled it themselves.” Vance asserted.
“Take the THUGS who engaged in that violence and throw their ASSES IN PRISON!” Vance concluded.

The attack has generated a strong response online.
We’re done being called racist just for existing while white. Sick of this clown show where facts are “hate speech” and truth is “bigotry.” Mention crime stats? You’re a bigot.

Prosecute for attempted murder and hate crimes and give the max sentence. Only way to stop it aside from lethal self defense.
