O’Malley Hits Clinton for Saying ‘Illegal Immigrants’
Former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley attacked Hillary Clinton on Thursday for using the term illegal immigrants instead of undocumented at a campaign event, and implied the front-runner for the Democratic nomination has been disingenuous in her support for immigration reform.
O’Malley made his remarks in an interview on KLRU’s Overheard With Evan Smith in Austin, where he is seeking to build support among Latinos for his candidacy.
“Before one audience, she will talk about immigration reform and the need for it,” O’Malley said. “Before another audience, she’ll use the term illegal immigrants and boast about having voted to build a wall and barbed-wire fence.”
He was referring to remarks Clinton made on Monday while campaigning in New Hampshire at a town hall, where a voter asked Clinton what she would do to secure the border with Mexico. (O’Malley prefers the term new American.)

I'm no HRC fan but O'Malley sounds parsing and precious with this. There's enough bullshit in DC.

He will be at every debate prior to the primaries if only to give the Anointment Crowd something to shut them up.

I'd vote for him before the cunt. I can't wait to see Trump eviscerate the cunt in a debate.

He paid a lot of money to some dumb ass "strategist" who convinced him that the only way he could stand out and improve his numbers was to go after Hillary.Hillary has an 85% approval rating among Demomcratic voters. She's popular. O'Malley should have gone after Bernie. Bernie isn't going to win, and O'Malley would have placed himself in a better position if he had taken some of Bernie's support. Of course Bernie's supporters are fanatics so maybe it would've backfired. But going after Bernie would be a lot smarter than attacking Hillary. She's going to win, and he could've been part of it.

R9 If Trump said this it'd be blasted on all major news networks as proof of vicious racism.
