North Carolina Republicans deprived Democrats of “crime” policy on Wednesday, saying they led to murder of Ukrainian refugees Iryna Zarutska In Charlotte.
Republican leaders from all over the state gathered in Charlotte on Wednesday for a press conference highlighting their plans to reform urban and state crime policies. Mecklenburg County Republican chairman Kyle Kirby urged Americans not to escape the scene of Zarutska being killed.
“Don’t look away. Don’t turn your head. Don’t close your eyes. Look at it. Because she has no choice but to look at evil in her face.” “Her last moments were moments of horror, pain and loneliness. While no one could raise his hand in that car to help her, you can see the killer emitting frustrating indifference with his knife dripping.”
“The people who Democrats call restorative justice look like the murder of Iryna Zarutska. The pain of you and your loved ones is for the pain of gain. Shame on the Mecklenburg County judicial system. You have not been arrested 14 times before. Shame on those who are unable to serve you by Charlotte’s citizen leadership. He continued.

Kirby said Zarutska arrived in the United States while fleeing the Ukrainian war. He also encouraged residents to participate in the candlelight vigil on the first anniversary of Zarutska’s death.
“She went from that country to Charlotte to seek asylum and promises and got the edge of the knife,” he said. “She died from our complacency and our permission to be permanent in Charlotte, municipal and county government.”

Vance pointed out former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper on Wednesday, who tried to criticize Republicans for using Zarutska’s murder Score “political perspective”.
“The murder of Iryna Zarutska is a horrible tragedy and we must do everything we can to ensure people are safe. There is only one cynical DC insider who believes that her death is used for political views, especially one who supports cutting funding for NC enforcement,” Cooper wrote on X.”
Vance then replied: “The law enforcement arrested the thug 14 times. No law enforcement failed. A weak politician like you kept getting him out of prison.”
