Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge responded Monday to public outrage over a viral video showing a violent mob assault downtown, insisting the footage lacks “context” and accusing both social and mainstream media of distorting the situation. The attack left a man beaten and a woman knocked unconscious—yet Theetge appeared more focused on defending the department’s response than addressing the brutality captured on video.
Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) issued a sharp warning during an appearance on Fox News’ Hannity, stating that if socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor of New York City, the city will face a dramatic increase in violent crime. Cruz tied Mamdani’s anti-police platform to broader Democratic policies that he says embolden criminals and endanger American cities.
