(Crankers.com) Van Jones was on CNN talking about the horrific murder of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska. She was stabbed to death on a North Carolina train by Decarlos Brown Jr.
Van Jones was criticizing commentator, Charlie Kirk, for saying the crime could be race related. Jones then said, “It’s not about cashless bail or no cashless bail, it’s about the fact that we don’t know how to deal with people who are hurting in the way this man was hurting. Hurt people hurt people.”
Jones continued: “What happened was horrible, but it becomes an opportunity for people to jump on bandwagons, and then for someone like Charlie Kirk — he should be ashamed of himself. No one mentioned the word race, white, black, or anything except him. What people mentioned is the horror of what happened to this young woman.”
Van Jones received massive amounts of backlash for his comments. Watch the video below:
