Before Charlie Kirk Was Murdered, He Torched the Media, CNN’s Van Jones’ Zarutska Murder Coverage

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk criticized corporate media outlets Tuesday for their handling of the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, arguing that the selective coverage of violent crime has exposed contradictions in the prevailing racial narrative.

During an appearance on Fox News’ The Will Cain Show, Kirk said the stabbing death of Zarutska in Charlotte, North Carolina, initially received little coverage from major networks until public backlash forced a response.
