Recently, conservative activist Madeleine Brame went viral in New York City when she called for residents in AOC’s district to “vote her a** out.” She highlighted a number of issues plaguing the Bronx community and emphasized that it was time for a change in political leadership.
Brame drew attention to the fentanyl crisis that is killing thousands of Americans every year, noting that the drug has claimed one of her sons. “Not to mention the fentanyl poisoning. How many lives were lost due to fentanyl poisoning? I also have a son, Raimon, who got ahold of some bad cocaine that was laced with fentanyl. So I have two sons dead, in the grave in less than three years. Hasan murdered, Raimon by fentanyl poisoning. These are real issues,” she said.
The activist further discussed the economic hardships she and many other Americans have endured over the past several years. On top of this, she criticized the massive inflow of illegal immigrants who are straining the community’s resources that its citizens desperately need.
“I’m a real person. I go to work every single day and I can’t even afford to pay rent. I have to make a decision to pay rent or buy food. I looked at my refrigerator right now. My refrigerator is empty. Because I decided to do my laundry. Then we have the illegals, flooding our borders coming into our communities, sucking up the resources that we already that we barely have. Why? Why should we allow this to happen?” she asked.
She urged the crowd to “rise up” and fight by voting out the politicians who are permitting this to happen. “Every last person here needs to rise up against fighting mad. Get fighting mad and make sure that you are registered to vote and go out there and you vote up and down the line not just the presidency. The local elections are more important than the presidency. Get rid of AOC, vote her a** out. Get rid of Ritchie Torres, vote his a**,” she said.
Brame further blasted the assertion that Trump was paying people to be at the rally in the Bronx, maintaining that everyone in attendance was there of their own volition, fed up with the current state of politics.
She continued, “None of you here are paid to be here. She got on TV this morning and said that Trump bussin’ these people and paying everyone out here who got paid to be here today. Are you here because you know that this is the time in history. That you are in the right place at the right time and you need to be here today.” Watch her comments below:

Brame added that Democrats have taken their vote “for granted” for nearly 50 years. She thanked the organizers who helped set up the event that preceded the powerful Trump rally and concluded with a call for everyone to go out and vote “like their life depends on it.”
She said, “We don’t want the Republicans to take our vote for granted like the Democrats did for 50 years. Vote in Tina … Tina forte. That’s right. And I’ll also like to give a quick shout out to Leticia Brown, Latina Brown, and today we’re Gibson for organizing that pre-Trump rally that was over in South Bronx the other day, which have a lot to do with the momentum that we have here today. So we need to keep this going. Right we need to be true to who we are. Don’t be afraid. Don’t back down. Get down and get out there and vote vote vote like your life depends on it. Because it does.”
