Fox’s Trey Gowdy Loses It Over Grisly Charlotte Train Murder: ‘She’s a Blue-Eyed Blonde, and the Media Doesn’t Give a Damn’
Fox News’ Trey Gowdy minced no words Tuesday during a discussion about the grisly murder of Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, on a train in Charlotte last month.
In a video released by the White House earlier in the day, President Donald Trump addressed Zarutska’s murder by declaring that “We cannot allow a depraved criminal element of violent repeat offenders to continue spreading destruction and death throughout our country.”
“We have to respond with force and strength. We have to be vicious, just like they are. It’s the only thing they understand,” he added.
After a press briefing during which White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed Zarutska’s murder, Fox’s Bill Melugin mused, “Trey, I’m sure you were listening to that White House press conference. I don’t know about you, I pretty much didn’t hear any questions about this young Ukrainian woman. Maybe one half question off the top. There were a whole lot more questions about Jeffrey Epstein, who’s been dead for years now.”
“Your thoughts on just the overall lack of national media interest in this case?” asked Melugin.
“Yeah, I’ll say it to you as bluntly as I can: she’s a blue-eyed blonde, and the media doesn’t give a damn. So if it’s someone else killing someone else, and look, I happen to be apolitical on this. I don’t want anybody killed. I don’t care about race, politics, gender, I’m all for it. I see life between people of good conscience and criminals. But the media does not,” replied Gowdy. “So, if it’s an African-American female that is killed, the media goes up in arms, or look at Daniel Penny. That case, how much attention did that case get? And yet, the mainstream media can’t say a word about this young lady in Charlotte. And Logan Federico, most people are sitting there saying, ‘Who in the world is that?’ It’s another blue-eyed blonde that is kill by someone who never should have been out of prison, but it doesn’t fit The New York Times narrative, therefore they don’t cover it.”
