I knew nothing about Madeline Brame, but I found her speech absolutely captivating. She has a wrenching personal story, and made a stinging indictment of Alvin Bragg and the soft-on-crime policies that have blighted our cities, but, on top of this, she is a tremendous podium speaker. There are lifetime politicians who couldn’t hope to match what she did tonight. It turns out that she has dabbled in electoral politics and done some media appearances, but, after tonight, she will be much more in demand, and understandably so.
