Madeline Brame, the mother of a murder victim in New York City, shouted down Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) at a House Judiciary Committee field hearing on Monday. She berated Goldman saying "don't insult my intelligence."
Ms. Brame testified before the committee during Monday's hearing that discussed the huge crime problem in Manhattan, where her son was murdered. The execrable Goldman tried to use his limited time slated for him to question Brame to instead make a political attack by criticizing the hearing itself, referring to the proceedings as a "coverup" for Republicans attempting to defend former President Trump.
Goldman served as impeachment counsel at Trump's first impeachment proceedings. He tried to explain his political view of the hearings to Ms. Brame after other leftist Democrats claimed the GOP was using the witnesses as "props" to defend the former President.
"We're not insulting you. Your experiences are devastating, but the problem is, is that this is a charade to cover up for an abuse of power. [Republicans] are going around incessantly, outside of this hearing, about Donald Trump, and the purpose of this hearing is to cover up for what they know to be an inappropriate investigation [into District Attorney Alvin Bragg]," Goldman bloviated/
"Can I respond to you, please?" Brame asked as Goldman attempted to avoid her commenting on his remarks.
"Not right now, because I only have 20 seconds, I'm sorry. But I, I do–" Goldman began.
"Don't insult my intelligence," Brame insisted, as Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) attempted to maintain order. "You're trying to insult me like I'm not aware of what's going on here. I'm fully aware of what's going on here, okay? That's why I walked away from the plantation of the Democratic Party."
Goldman had a cow.
Ms. Brame had testified earlier about Attorney General Alvin Bragg's mishandling of her son's murder case. Her son, Army Sgt. Hason Correa, was beaten and stabbed nine times by a mob in 2018 and the prosecution for the cases dragged on and on for over four years. Bragg then removed the indictments against two of the suspects in favor of powderpuff charges while the other two ended up receiving life sentences.
Brame argued that Bragg's office has only allowed crime to escalate, and the data showed no "measurable results" in lowering the city's violent crime rate, in spite of the left spiking the ball on crime using creative statistics.
