President Trump on Monday offered condolences to the family of slain Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska — and vowed to “confront” the “evil people” terrorizing America after watching the shocking video of her being hacked to death on a Charlotte train.
“There are evil people, and we have to confront that. I just give my love and hope to the family of the young woman who was stabbed this morning or last night in Charlotte by a madman,” Trump told reporters.
“A lunatic just got up and started — it’s right on the tape, not really watchable, because it’s so horrible — but just viciously stabbed. She’s just sitting there. So they’re evil people. We have to be able to handle that. If we don’t handle that, we don’t have a country,” Trump said, following Friday’s release of security footage showing the sickening killing, allegedly carried out by career criminal Decarlos Brown Jr., 34.

The president also pointed to the recent Catholic school mass shooting in Minneapolis, where two children were killed and more than a dozen wounded, promising to end the wave of senseless violence.
“We’re going to get to the end of it. And you know, when you have horrible killings, you have to take horrible actions,” Trump said, blasting the nation’s criminal justice failures.
He zeroed in on cashless bail as a key culprit. “And the actions that we take are nothing — this cashless bail started a wave in our country where a killer kills somebody and is out on the street by the afternoon, in many cases, going out and going again cashless bail,” he warned.
