President Trump condemned Democrats for not standing during the State of the Union address when he acknowledged the parents of Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee murdered in the U.S. He criticized the release of repeat offenders and vowed justice for the victim.
President Donald Trump blasted Democrats for refusing to acknowledge the parents of slain Ukraine refugee Iryna Zarutska during the State of Union address on Tuesday evening. “How do you not stand?” the president asked.
“Unleashing America’s promise requires keeping America safe. We have made incredible strides, yet dangerous repeat offenders continue to be released by pro-crime Democrat politicians again and again,” President Trump said.“We are honored to be joined tonight by a woman who’s been through hell, Anna Zarutska,” the president continued. “In 2022, she and her beautiful daughter, Iryna, fled war-torn Ukraine to live with relatives near Charlotte, North Carolina.” “Last summer, 23-year-old Iryna was riding home on the train when a deranged monster — who has been arrested over a dozen times and was released through no-cash bail — stood up and viciously slashed a knife through her neck and body,” Trump added. President Trump went on to say, “No one will ever forget the expression of terror on Iryna’s face as she looked up at her attacker in the last seconds of her life,” referring to video footage of Iryna Zarutska’s horrific murder that later circulated on social media. “She had escaped a brutal war only to be slain by a hardened criminal, set free to kill in America,” Trump proclaimed, before promising Iryna Zarutska’s mother, who could be seen weeping in the audience, “We will ensure justice for your magnificent daughter, Iryna.” Trump’s remarks were met with a standing ovation. Democrats, however, remained seated, refusing to acknowledge the president’s promise to the 23-year-old’s parents.“I’m asking this Congress to pass tough legislation to ensure that violent and dangerous repeat offenders are put behand bars, and, importantly, that they stay there,” the president added.Trump Says Omar, Tlaib Should Be Sent 'Back from Where They Came'Watch Live: Breitbart Speaks to White House Officials After Trump SOTUExclusive — ‘Non-Credible Accusations’: Epstein Files ‘Trump Accuser’ Claims Collapse Under ScrutinyTrump Calls on Senate Leader Thune to Get SAVE Act Passed at SOTUOmar: Heckling During Trump’s State of the Union Was ‘Unavoidable’ Exclusive — Former IDF General: Iran May Arm Missiles with Chemical Warheads; ‘Massive Strike’ Only OptionNewsom: Republicans Have Been ‘Countenancing Racism in Their Party for Decades’ Huckabee: Don’t Think You Can Separate Iran’s Nuke Program from Need for Regime to Go, Trump’s Said They Can’t Kill CiviliansIranian Opposition Group Says It Attacked Khamenei’s Compound — ‘Heavy Clashes’ in Tehran
