Mom of NYC murder victim puts Dem lawmaker in his place

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.

Mom of US veteran murdered in NYC blasts Bragg for Trump charges: calls it "nonsense"

Ms. Brame joined "Fox & Friends" on Wednesday where she spoke about Bragg after he claimed that nobody is "above the law" after he had former President Trump indicted on 34 garbage charges that have even gone beyond the statute of limitations.

"If no one is above the law, then I don't understand how Alvin Bragg could dismiss murder and gang assault indictments against two of the people involved in the murder of my son," said Brame.

The U.S. Army veteran, a married father of three, was stabbed to death in Harlem in 2018. The killer was convicted and sentenced to 20 years to life in prison, but Brame has criticized Bragg for offering plea deals to two other defendants.

Brame said that murderers are above the law in New York City.

"We see it every single day in the Black and Brown communities. Every day, all day. Everyone is above the law. They're not even making it to the DA's office."

Of course, that wouldn't be the case if it was a cop shooting an armed suspect, or if a white person kills a person of color, even if it happened in self defense. In the latter case, to use Nancy Pelosi's understanding of the law, that person would have the opportunity to prove his innocence in a court of law, because he or she would be presumed guilty.

"They're being released from the precincts with a desk appearance ticket and a referral to a community-based organization that has shown no measurable outcomes of effectiveness of what they're doing with our millions and billions of tax dollars."

Brame said New Yorkers are seeing rising crime "every single day" and that Alvin Bragg is doing "absolutely zero" about the problem.

Ms. Brame ended by saying that she plans to vote for Trump again in the 2024 election.

"I am a proud Black conservative," she told Ainsley Earhardt.

Brame joined a panel made up of Republicans and Democrats, who also disagreed with the decision to bring charges against Trump for the alleged offenses.

Correa, who served in the U.S. Army in Afghanistan, was stabbed to death in Harlem on October 19, 2018, by two brothers, their sister, and a fourth man.

"Why would you dismiss murder charges against half of the participants, when the murder and their roles were caught on video?" Brame asked last year in an open letter to Bragg.

"The video, the facts, the evidence, and the law about the murder did not change in three years – the only thing that changed was the District Attorney," she said. "Our family and our community deserve better."

Well, they saw Kyle Rittenhouse being attacked and his life was in danger. He had to use deadly force in self defense, but because he is white, he was labeled guilty by the media even before the trial acquitted him. Video evidence isn't enough when it goes against the left's narrative.
