Madeline Brame, the mother of Army veteran Sergeant Hason Correa who was tragically killed in a stabbing incident in 2018, delivered a powerful speech at the 2024 Republican National Convention. Brame expressed her frustration with what she described as 'soft on crime prosecutors' who she believes have contributed to the rise of violence in American cities.
During her emotional address, Brame recounted the heartbreaking loss of her son, who had served in Afghanistan and survived enemy fire only to be fatally attacked on the streets of New York City. She criticized District Attorney Alvin Bragg for allegedly dismissing charges against two of the individuals involved in her son's murder, accusing him of being lenient towards dangerous criminals.
Brame emphasized the need for justice for victims and accountability for prosecutors who fail in their duty to uphold the law. She called out prominent figures such as Alvin Bragg in New York, Kim Foxx in Chicago, and George Gascon in Los Angeles for their perceived leniency towards criminals.
In addition to her criticism of prosecutors, Brame also directed her ire towards President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing them of neglecting poor and minority communities across America. She expressed disillusionment with the Democratic Party, claiming that they had betrayed the loyalty of poor minorities and failed to address their needs.
Despite her past affiliation with the Democratic Party, Brame declared her support for former President Donald Trump, whom she believes shares the values of love for God, family, and country. She praised Trump's commitment to providing economic opportunities and assisting individuals struggling with addiction through long-term inpatient drug programs.
Madeline Brame's impassioned speech resonated with the audience at the Republican National Convention, highlighting the ongoing debate over criminal justice reform and the role of prosecutors in ensuring public safety.
