Democratic Party 'stabbed us in the back,' crime victim's mother says
Madeline Brame, one of the people billed by the RNC as an "everyday American," spoke about the murder of her son in an impassioned speech.
Her son, Hason Correa, was stabbed to death in New York City in 2018 at the age of 35 after serving in the military.
Four people were charged related to Correa's murder. Three pleaded guilty to felony charges and one was convicted at trial. Two were handed sentences of 20 years to life, one was sentenced to seven years, and one served 14 months.
Brame called the latter two plea deals in the case an "injustice" that was "devastating for me and my family."
"We need justice for victims and we need accountability for prosecutors who fail in their duty," Brame said. "Soft-on-crime prosecutors like Alvin Bragg in New York, Kim Foxx in Chicago and George Gascón in Los Angeles have turned our great country and city into war zones."
She said the Democratic Party "stabbed us in the back."
"Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, who claimed to represent us, have abandoned us," she said. "They neglected the poor minority communities across America."
