"Providence Mayor on why wants the Iryna Zarutska mural to come down: “A movement was funded by some right-wing billionaires." “It wasn't bringing us together as a community."
"I think it's safe to say that Rhode Island Democrats have not covered themselves in glory with the way they have responded to a mural of Iryna Zarutska that was being painted on the side of a building in Providence.
"RedState reported Monday on how the city's woke mayor, Brett Smiley, had called for the mural of the murdered 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee to be removed on grounds that it was "divisive."
"I continue to encourage our community to support local artists whose work brings us closer together rather than further divides us," Smiley proclaimed in his original statement, citing the alleged "misguided, isolating intent of those funding murals like this across the country" (read: Elon Musk).

This, on the other hand, brings Democrats to their knees in remorse:
"As the Rhode Island GOP pointed out, this is not about art. It's about selective outrage. But it's also about priorities - and Rhode Island Democrats continue to tell us what theirs really are: Not the victims of violent crime, but rather the need for Democrats to try and squelch any and all debate about how their dangerous soft-on-crime policies that lead to repeat offenders being let back out onto the streets create more victims like Iryna Zarutska."
