A project to honor murdered refugee Iryna Zarutska was officially canceled after a Democrat mayor threw his office’s weight behind claims the mural “further divides us.”
Ever on brand, leftist proponents of soft-on-crime policies seem to have no qualms glossing over or outright trampling on the memories of those who’ve suffered from violent crime. The latest example came out of Providence, Rhode Island, where an in-progress outdoor mural in memory of Zarutska is now expected to be removed after Mayor Brett Smiley (D) deemed it divisive.
Despite being initially commissioned for the exterior of the drag show promoting bar The Dark Lady in Providence, the city’s openly homosexual mayor released a statement bucking the project, expressing, “The murder of the individual depicted in this mural was a devastating tragedy, but the misguided, isolating intent of those funding murals like this across the country is divisive and does not represent Providence. I continue to encourage our community to support local artists whose work brings us closer together rather than further divides us.”
