PBS's Late Report on Charlotte Train Stabbing 'Seized on by Republicans'

Weeks after it happened and days after other networks belatedly picked up the story, PBS News Hour on Tuesday arrived on the scene of the stabbing murder of Ukrainian refugee Irina Zarutska aboard a light rail train in Charlotte, North Carolina. Host Geoff Bennett painted the tragedy as a cynical Republican talking point, one "that claimed the life of a young Ukrainian refugee and has become a rallying cry for Republicans," that the party is using to "support President Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard in more cities."
