Miranda Devine: Dems’ callous rebuke of an Iryna Zarutska mural exposes their own twisted, backwards ‘values’

It’s fitting that the Iryna Zarutska mural in Providence, RI, is being removed on the say-so of the city’s lefty mayor before the artist could complete the murdered young woman’s face.

Her long blond hair is there, and the outline of her beautiful features, but her identity is being erased by political sadists who do not want Americans to remember the 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee who was stabbed to death on a light rail train in Charlotte, NC, by a deranged homeless man with a long and violent rap sheet.

Iryna fled a war zone, but it was more dangerous for her to ride public transport home from her job at a pizzeria in her work uniform at 9:45 p.m. on a Friday in a blue city.

Providence Democrat Mayor Brett Smiley this week slammed the mural honoring her as “divisive and [it] does not represent Providence.”

His equally callous Democrat stablemate, Rhode Island state Rep. David Morales, opined to a local NBC reporter that the artwork honoring Iryna “does not reflect” the “values” of Providence.

What “values” might they be?
