Charlotte murder exposes Democrats’ soft on crime lunacy

In Charlotte, 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska was brutally stabbed to death on a light-rail train by a repeat offender who should never have been on the streets.

Instead of standing up for victims like Zarutska, radical Democrats have spent years emptying prisons, weakening law enforcement, and looking the other way while violent criminals roam free.

Democrats want to lecture about “lower crime rates” and trot out manipulated statistics, but every family that’s lost a loved one to a repeat violent offender knows the truth: Democrat policies make our communities less safe.

“Democrats coddle criminals and abandon victims, and now an innocent young woman is dead because of it. No amount of spin can wash away their radical, soft on crime record.” — NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella
