The 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska has been brutally mudered on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina
The Mecklenburg County court that released a repeat offender who later killed a young Ukrainian refugee was “completely run” by diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) activists, according to Fox News host Jesse Watters.
He pointed to a former US Vice President Kamala Harris’ donor magistrate with “no law degree”. The magistrate was “nominated by a clerk,” Watters claimed, who calls herself “a DEI consultant and racial equity organizer”.
He also pointed to a judge once named “DEI Champion of the Year” who is also “friends with Obama’s wingman”. “This is a DEI court and they have blood on their hands. And if the people in robes are on the same side as the bad guys, that’s suicide,” Watters said on Tuesday.
The victim, 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, was brutally murdered on August 22 while riding a train in Charlotte, North Carolina. Surveillance video showed Decarlos Brown Jr., 34, walk up behind her and stab her three times in the neck before leaving the scene with the knife still in his hand. Zarutska died instantly. Brown was apprehended at the scene and has been charged with first-degree murder. The Justice Department on Tuesday also filed a federal criminal charge against him.
White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt told a press briefing that Zarutska’s killing was “entirely preventable” and accused Democrats, judges, and the media of downplaying the crime because it did not fit a “preferred narrative.”
She noted that Brown’s record included at least 14 charges since 2011, among them armed robbery and felony larceny. He had served five years for robbery with a deadly weapon and repeatedly violated bond conditions, yet was still released without bail by a Democratic judge and strong supporter of Harris, required only to sign a written promise to appear in court.
”This monster should have been locked up, and Iryna should still be alive,” Leavitt stated.
President Donald Trump has called for harsh justice, demanding the death penalty be considered for the “animal” accused of killing Zarutska. He said there should be no other option, calling the case a disgrace and urging swift punishment.
After taking office, Trump launched a campaign to eliminate DEI policies in all federal agencies, signing multiple executive orders against “woke policies.”
