Donald Trump isn’t holding back on the man accused of murdering Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a North Carolina train, he’s demanding the ultimate punishment — death.
On Wednesday, Trump posted on Truth Social saying there’s no doubt suspected killer Decarlos Dejuan Brown Jr. deserves a speedy trial resulting in the death penalty — ’cause there’s no excuse for taking the life of Iryna, an innocent woman who came to America seeking peace and safety
Trump made sure to hammer home “the death penalty” in capital letters, making it loud and clear he’s serious about the consequences Decarlos should face.
The post came just two days after he vowed to take on all “evil” people, after hearing about Iryna’s brutal stabbing while she was just riding the Charlotte subway on August 22.
The attack only recently hit national headlines after right-wing commentators slammed mainstream media for ignoring it once the surveillance footage dropped — and now Trump is fully in the mix.
Decarlos is charged with one count of causing death on a mass transit system, and Attorney General Pam Bondi says the feds will seek the maximum penalty for this unforgivable act.
From the U.S. president to a presidential hopeful in Ireland, the AG’s decision will also please Conor McGregor … who unloaded on Brown Jr., calling for the “absolute worst” penalty.
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) said Tuesday he would have a “problem” with a potential Donald Trumpintervention in North Carolina after the high-profile murder of a Ukrainian refugee on a Charlotte commuter train.
The retiring lawmaker was asked about the possibility as the president and his administration are ramping up their supposed crime crackdown by sending Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and other federal enforcement to Chicago over the objections of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. Trump has already sent National Guard troops to Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. ― both are Democratic strongholds, as is Chicago.
