A mother whose adult son was stabbed to death in Harlem lashed out at a Democratic congressman on Monday for insulting her intelligence by talking about Donald Trump instead of the city’s crime problem.
“You’re trying to insult me like I’m not aware of what’s going on. I’m fully aware of what’s going on here! That’s why I walked away from the plantation of the Democratic Party,” fumed Madeline Brame, a Black woman whose tragic loss of her son drove her to become the leader of the group Victims Rights Reform.
The target of her wrath was Rep. Dan Goldman, a New York Democrat who attempted to dismiss a House Judiciary Committee field hearing about crime in the city as a “charade” to help Mr. Trump.
Ms. Brame, a witness at the hearing, said the only ones talking about Mr. Trump were the Democrats on the panel.
“Your experiences are devastating,” Mr. Goldman responded, “but the problem is this is a charade to cover up for an abuse of power that [Republians] are going around talking incessantly outside of this hearing about Donald Trump. The purpose of this hearing is to cover up for what they know to be an inappropriate investigation.”
