Trump on Iryna Zarutska Murder: “When You Have Horrible Killings, You Have To Take Horrible Actions — And The Actions We Take Are Nothing”
President Trump mentioned the killing of Iryna Zarutska that he said yesterday he would look into during a speech Monday morning at the Museum of the Bible.
DONALD TRUMP: There are evil people. We’re all people of religion, but there are evil people, and we have to confront that. I just give my love and hope to the family of the young woman who was stabbed this morning or last night in Charlotte by a madman, a lunatic — just got up and started, it’s right on the tape, not, not really watchable because it’s so horrible — but just viciously stabbed, she’s just sitting there. So there are evil people. We have to be able to handle that. If we don’t handle that, we don’t have a country. …[a few minutes later] And there was also a horrible killing recently in Charlotte, where I talked about and so many others, and we will, we’re gonna get to the end of it, and you know, when you have horrible killings, you have to take horrible actions, and the actions that we take are nothing. We, this cashless bail started a wave in our country where a killer kills somebody and that’s out on the street by the afternoon. In many cases, going out and killing again, cashless bail. And you try and reason with people, like in Chicago with the governor and the mayor, you try and reason with them, and it’s like you’re talking to a wall. It just doesn’t — I assume it’s just a political ideology. They’re not stupid people, it must be an ideology that’s just buried in their head and you can’t do a damn thing about it. And we’d love to go into Chicago and straighten it out. You know, Washington DC, you’ll be happy to know, is a free and safe zone.
