"Jones said that while what happened to that young woman was horrible and it's everybody's nightmare, we don't know why that man did what he did. And for Charlie Kirk to say, We know he did it because she's white,' when there's no evidence of that, is just pure race mongering, hate mongering. It's wrong, Jones continued: 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"
"Hurt people hurt people. 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. Republican strategist Brad Todd replied, Van, I'ma agree with you."
"Republican strategist Brad Todd replied, Van, I'ma agree with you. I don't care who was white and who was Black, and I don't know how Charlie Kirk got into it. I agree with you on that. After killing Zarutska in cold blood, Brown appeared to mutter, I got that white girl, as he fled the scene of the crime. Brown, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia, already had a lengthy criminal record before the killing, including for violent crimes."
Van Jones called the killing of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska horrific and questioned claims about motive, characterizing the perpetrator as deeply hurt and saying "hurt people hurt people." Jones criticized Charlie Kirk for asserting a racially motivated motive without evidence and labeled that claim race-mongering. Jones argued the issue is not cashless bail but a failure to address severe personal and mental-health crises. Republican strategist Brad Todd agreed, rejecting Kirk's framing and saying race should not be the focus of speculation. The suspect, Decarlos Brown Jr., reportedly muttered "I got that white girl," and has schizophrenia and a lengthy violent criminal record.
