Dem NC Gov. Josh Stein Gets PUMMELED On X For His Awful (And Very Late) Iryna Zarutska Post

Posted • September 8, 2025: Despite the dead legacy media's best attempts to completely ignore the story, the murder in late August of Iryna Zarutska is getting the attention they all desperately hoped that it wouldn't. People were outraged on X throughout the weekend, and when President Trump announced yesterday that he would be looking into it, the left's plan to memory hole the horror of a Ukrainian refugee woman getting stabbed on a subway by a 14-time criminal was dashed to pieces for good. Of course, their solution was to run with 'Republicans pounce.' Because we don't hate the media enough and never could. Democrat politicians were also hoping not to have to address this all-too-common occurrence in leftist cities. Yesterday, the mayor of Charlotte got lambasted on X for her half-hearted response to Zarutska's murder. This morning, it was North Carolina Governor Josh Stein's turn to get ratioed into oblivion.

Stein had said nothing about the video all weekend and then tried to pretend that he was tough on crime this morning. Wow. Big mistake. —— Governor Josh Stein @NC_Governor: “I am heartbroken for the family of Iryna Zarutska, who lost their loved one to this senseless act of violence, and I am appalled by the footage of her murder. We need more cops on the beat to keep people safe. That’s why my budget calls for more funding to hire more well-trained police officers. I call upon the legislature to pass my law enforcement recruitment and retention package to address vacancies in our state and local agencies so they can stop these horrific crimes and hold violent criminals accountable.” —— Why was Stein heartbroken and appalled only this morning? Why was he not heartbroken and appalled yesterday? Or Saturday night? Or at any point over the past two weeks since Zarutska was butchered? Yeah. We all know why.

It's been over 2 weeks and this POS finally comments, but tries to shift blame to the police. The police arrested him FOURTEEN TIMES but the courts turned him loose, when Josh Stein was ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR NC. The blame is on YOU, and Charlotte's DEI DEMOCRAT local government. The gall to try to blame the police for this murderer walking the streets when it is obvious to everyone that it is Democrat policies that allow criminals to run free constantly. It got MUCH worse for Stein. —— Or, and hear me out, you also take a serious look at the judges in your state who play politics with criminals … and your constituents' lives. That monster should have NEVER been on the street, free. —— You could just NOT let a repeat, 14x violent offender, with a schizophrenia diagnosis out on CASHLESS BAIL to murder people. How about that? —— When criminals are locked up, crime goes down. When they are not, crime goes up. It's not exactly rocket surgery. […]

This is a reflection of your soft-on-crime policies. Resign. Stein was only elected governor in 2024. Before that, however, he was North Carolina's Attorney General for eight years. His policies are DIRECTLY responsible. He'll even tell you himself: —— Governor, your task force for racial equity in criminal justice specifically called for increasing pre-trial release. And decriminalizing “public behavior,” meaning homelessness and being a public nuisance. Both of these policies contributed to Decarlo Brown being on the streets and having the opportunity to commit murder on the Charlotte light rail. Are you going to roll back these policies that your racial task force initiated that are making North Carolinians unsafe? (…)
