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&#8217;s death was widely framed as a national crisis with political implications, Zarutska&#8217;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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/what-white-refugees-reveal-about-democrats-vision-for-america\/\" title=\"What White Refugees Reveal About ...&#039; Vision For America\">prioritizing political power<\/a> over public safety by dismissing serious crimes as partisan matters rather than <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >urgent problems needing attention<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Here&rsquo;s a truly jaw-dropping headline in Politico <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2025\/09\/08\/trump-blames-democrats-murder-ukrainian-refugee-00551419\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this week<\/a>: &ldquo;Ukrainian refugee killed in North Carolina gets dragged into political messaging war.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Now let&rsquo;s reimagine that same headline but the year is 2020 and it&rsquo;s about George Floyd getting &ldquo;dragged into [a] political messaging war,&rdquo; as if we weren&rsquo;t talking about a greatly disturbing death caught on video but a trifling partisan squabble.
