Charlie Kirk's social media posts on Ukrainian refugee
Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee living in Charlotte, North Carolina, was fatally stabbed on a light rail train on August 22. Charlie Kirk commented on the fatal stabbing and stated that it was absolutely necessary to politicise her death, arguing that political decisions had allowed a man with 14 prior offenses to remain free and ultimately commit the crime. A man named DeCarlos Brown Jr., was formally charged with her murder. A video of the incident showed Brown sitting directly behind Zarutska before suddenly standing up and slashing her throat. The footage captures Zarutska collapsing and falling from her seat moments after the attack. Kirk had also shared a photo of Zarutska and wrote, “America will never be the same again.”
