President Trump on Monday condemned the deadly stabbing of a Ukrainian woman in Charlotte, N.C., after the gruesome video of the attack was released over the weekend.

The president, in remarks at the Museum of the Bible, told the audience, “there are evil people — we're all people of religion — but there are evil people that we have to confront that.”

“I just give my love and hope to the young women who was stabbed this morning or last night, in Charlotte by a mad man, a lunatic,” Trump said, referencing the video. “Just viciously stabbed, she’s just sitting there. So, they’re evil people. We have to be able to handle that, if we don’t handle that we don’t have a country.”

The video, released by Charlotte-Mecklenburg police on Sunday, showed Iryna Zarutska, who fled Ukraine in 2022 with her family during the war with Russia, getting stabbed on a Charlotte light rail train on Aug. 22, CNN reported.

The president, before his comments on the stabbing, was bashing the Biden administration for allowing an influx of migrants into the U.S. He then spoke about his crackdown on crime in Washington, D.C., as he has eyed sendoing federal law enforcement to other cities like Chicago and New Orleans.

Later in his remarks, Trump said “when you have horrible killings, you have to take horrible actions.”

The suspect in the Charlotte attack is 34-year-old Decarlos Brown, who has been charged with first-degree murder and has a long criminal history that also included armed robbery, and has served eight years in prison. A judge has ordered him evaluated in a hospital, according to CNN.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is among the voices on the right who have criticized Charlotte officials over the killing, arguing that Brown should have been locked up.

"This monster had a track record longer than a CVS receipt, including prison time for robbery with a dangerous weapon, breaking and entering, and larceny. By failing to properly punish him, Charlotte failed Iryna Zarutska and North Carolinians," Duffy wrote in a Sunday post on X.

"Citizens don’t want federal dollars going to public transportation that local leaders refuse to keep safe!"

Trump has made crime a major focus of his administration, deploying the National Guard and federal law enforcement to patrol the streets of D.C. last month. Over the weekend, the president said he’s “not going to war” with Chicago, despite his recent social media post that hinted at impending war.
