Charlie Kirk paid tribute to a young Ukrainian refugee murdered on American soil just hours before his shocking assassination at a Utah college.
On Tuesday evening, Kirk, the influential conservative and founder of Turning Point USA, shared a photo on social media of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, the refugee brutally stabbed on a North Carolina light rail train last month.
In the image, Zarutska appears hunched in her seat, moments before she was allegedly killed in a random attack by Decarlos Brown, a man with a long criminal history and diagnosed schizophrenia.
‘America will never be the same,’ Kirk wrote in one of his final tweets, just hours before he was gunned down in what Utah’s governor has called a ‘political assassination.’
Kirk’s post about Zarutska comes as conservatives pointed to her killing as a symbol of America’s collapse under what they described as ‘soft-on-crime’ justice systems in Democrat-led cities.
A federal indictment was announced on Tuesday in the Zarutska case, elevating Brown’s charges to include causing death on a mass transportation system – a federal offense that carries the death penalty.
Then came Kirk’s impassioned response, highlighting Zarutska’s death as a symbol of a country in decline.
According to authorities, Zarutska had fled the war in Ukraine and was trying to start a new life in Charlotte.
Smell Hillary all over this incident
