Providence mayor calls for removal of Iryna Zarutska mural, says intent is 'divisive,' 'misguided'

Dem claims artwork meant to honor the Ukrainian woman brutally killed in North Carolina does not represent Rhode Island city

The mayor of Rhode Island's capital city is calling for a mural reportedly backed by Elon Musk to honor Iryna Zarutska —the Ukrainian woman whose brutal murder while riding a North Carolina train prompted calls for harsher punishment for career criminals — to be taken down.

The office of Mayor Brett Smiley told the news outlet that he wants the artwork taken down.

He said he continues to "encourage our community to support local artists whose work brings us closer together rather than divide us."

And let's not forget that if Iryna Zyrutska had not been murdered, the Trump administration would be trying to deport her with the rest of the Ukranian refugees whose refugee status they are trying to revoke. If she weren't currently a martyr, this administration would consider her just another illegal immigrant that Biden let in.

Yep, just like Trump. Can you imagine any other SecDef intervening publicly and stepping on the toes of his officers over something this silly?

This guy is all about the media hits, just like his boss.

If there’s one thing a military doesn’t need, it’s discipline. Completely unnecessary for a functioning military. Ye haw!!!

I don’t know what I expected Kid Rock’s house to look like, but other than the weird Statue of Liberty, it wasn’t that. Looks pretty sweet.
