Elon Musk-funded mural of murdered Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska goes up in Brooklyn - and local lefties are furious
"I started this campaign to make sure that the story of Iryna does not disappear. Her murder is at the nexus of many issues plaguing American society. For example, one is the progressive approach to crime," said."
"Beautiful!! What a lovely tribute to a beautiful girl and a beautiful life! RIP Iryna!! . . . I'm so sorry the USA failed you!!"
"It has become part of the endless fodder that balloons our police department budgets and welcomes masked unacc"
A three-story mural of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska has been installed on an apartment building in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Zarutska was stabbed to death in August on a train in Charlotte by a homeless ex-con. The mural is part of a campaign launched by conservative tech CEO Eoghan McCabe to honor her and emphasize crime concerns in liberal areas. McCabe donated $500,000 and raised $1 million from Elon Musk, plus $200,000 from smaller donors. Initial reactions praised the tribute, while local left-leaning residents criticized the mural as right-wing propaganda and anti-immigrant messaging.
