‘Their blood is on Democrats’: Trump slams Charlotte mayor after Ukrainian refugee’s murder
In Charlotte, Mayor Vi Lyles won the Democratic primary amid outrage over the brutal stabbing of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a light-rail train. Suspect Decarlos Brown Jr., with 14 prior arrests, faces first-degree murder charges and a DOJ mass-transit death charge. Critics question Lyles’ response, while President Trump and Republicans blame Democrats for being soft on crime. Lyles now faces GOP nominee Terrie Donovan in November’s general election.
