Media Rush To Defend Democrats By Calling Murder ‘Political’
The article discusses the politicization of the tragic murder of Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee killed in Charlotte, North Carolina. It contrasts the media and Democratic response to this crime with their reaction to the death of George Floyd in 2020, suggesting that while Floyd’s death was widely framed as a national crisis with political implications, Zarutska’s murder has been downplayed or ignored by the media and Democrats as it challenges their narrative on crime. The piece criticizes Democrats and mainstream media for minimizing urban crime and resisting acknowledging issues that could be politically advantageous to Republicans or former President trump. It accuses them of prioritizing political power over public safety by dismissing serious crimes as partisan matters rather than urgent problems needing attention.
Here’s a truly jaw-dropping headline in Politico this week: “Ukrainian refugee killed in North Carolina gets dragged into political messaging war.”
Now let’s reimagine that same headline but the year is 2020 and it’s about George Floyd getting “dragged into [a] political messaging war,” as if we weren’t talking about a greatly disturbing death caught on video but a trifling partisan squabble. Of course no such headline would have ever made it to print, because the dying news media were all in on turning Floyd into a national crisis with President Trump to blame.
By contrast, the appalling murder of a “Ukrainian refugee” in Charlotte last month — her name was Iryna Zarutska — is a really, really bad look for all the Democrats (plus the dying media) who spent recent days swearing on their lives that metropolitan crime is virtually nonexistent. They did that purely out of spite for Trump sending National Guard troops into Washington, D.C., to quell the violence and danger that has plagued that city for years.
Look, The New York Times did it, too: “A Gruesome Murder in North Carolina Ignites a Firestorm on the Right.” So did the Washington Post and Associated Press: “Charlotte leaders criticized over killing of Ukrainian woman as Trump, MAGA target another Dem city.”
Remember, kids, there is no crime! And when there is, it’s Republicans and “the right” you should hate for noticing!
They’re losing this little game they’re trying to play, but they’re so dug in on opposing every single thing Trump does that they’re willing to literally watch people die and call it nothing. It’s one thing for them to scream bloody murder when their precious “foreign aid” is put on hiatus, but it’s seriously ghoulish for them to dismiss an actual murder as a Republican fixation.
This is how Democrats and the dying media are going to deal with the crime problem for the foreseeable future. They don’t care about the tragic murder of Iryna Zarutska, and they’re willing to risk all of our lives to seize power again.
