Madeline Brame delivered a poignant and emotional speech at the Republican National Convention, drawing attention to the tragic murder of her son, Sgt. Hason Correa, a U.S. Army veteran. Correa, a father of three, was killed in 2018 in Harlem, a victim of brutal violence.
Brame passionately criticized Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for what she described as his lenient approach to prosecuting the perpetrators responsible for her son’s death.
Brame recounted how initially, the individuals involved in her son’s murder were facing serious charges, but under Bragg’s tenure, two of them had their charges significantly reduced or dismissed altogether. This decision by Bragg’s office left Brame and her family devastated, highlighting what she perceived as a failure of justice and accountability.

In her speech, Brame expressed her resolve to be a voice for victims of similar injustices across America, condemning what she termed “soft-on-crime” policies that she believes endanger communities and betray the trust of those who suffer most from violence.
She further criticized prominent Democratic figures, including President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing them of neglecting and betraying minority communities. Brame asserted that her support now lies with Donald Trump, whom she believes shares her values and has been unfairly targeted by the same corrupt system that she feels failed her family.
Brame’s speech resonated deeply with the audience, earning her a standing ovation, including from Trump himself. Her call for justice, accountability, and a return to safety in American communities underscored the emotional intensity of her message on a night filled with impassioned addresses at the convention.
