A Democrat member of the Cincinnati City Council is facing backlash after saying that the victims of a mass brawl in her city deserved to be beaten to a pulp.

Victoria Parks, 67, the President Pro Tem of the city council, sparked anger on social media after commenting on a story about a melee in the Ohio city's downtown area over the weekend.

The fight captured national headlines as a couple were set upon by a large group of people, with upwards of 100 witnesses gathering to watch the savage attack, but only one eventually calling 911.

In her comment on Facebook, Parks said: 'They begged for that beat down! I am grateful for the whole story.'

An outraged commenter responded to her: 'You are on the city council? And you make a statement like this?'

It is not clear what Parks meant by being 'grateful for the whole story', with officials yet to comment on what triggered the massive fight. Parks did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The lawmaker has since faced calls for her resignation, although the 67-year-old said back in January that she would be retiring from the city council at the end of the year.

It comes as Cincinnati cops have arrested three people in connection with the brawl, and have issued two more arrest warrants as officials warn that more could be on the way for anyone involved.

"Why is it that almost all of the black politicians these days are the worst that the blacks have to offer?"

For the same reason that George Floyd's body was dragged around the country in a white, horse drawn carriage before being declared a national hero...

Low standards.
