Martin O'Malley took the stage at the Democratic National Committee and fearlessly spoke truth to power, attacking the Democrat's coronation of Hillary Clinton. DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a hack Clinton crony, and O'Malley was brave to confront her on her own stage standing barely ten feet from her.
Accusing party leaders of trying to keep Democratic ideas hidden as the Republican presidential candidates spew "racist hate" from their debate lecterns, Mr. O'Malley, the former Maryland governor and mayor of Baltimore, questioned the decision to hold "four debates and four debates only" before the first four states finish voting."This is totally unprecedented in our party's history," Mr. O'Malley said. "This sort of rigged process has never been attempted before. Whose decree is it exactly? Where did it come from? To what end? For what purpose? What national or party interest does this decree serve? How does this help us tell the story of the last eight years of Democratic progress?"
While Mr. O'Malley never named the party's chairwoman, Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, his remarks about the debates were clearly aimed at her - and she sat looking grim throughout, barely clapping, and appeared angry when she shook his hand once he finished.
Hillary would be a terrible president, and I hope the Democrats nominate someone else. I'm obviously no fan of their policies, but I'd be thrilled for America to have a choice between two patriotic, competent candidates.
