Meet Martin
OMalley
Hes a far-left ex-governor from
Maryland, a very liberal state.
How out-of-touch is Martin OMalley? His own state rejected him, and 70% of his
fellow Marylanders do not think he would make a good president. Ouch.
OMALLEY: TOO EXTREME FOR HIS HOME STATE
Marylanders loved OMalleys liberal policies so much
But by the 2014 election, 48% of Marylanders disapproved of the job OMalley did. Just 41% approved.
That year, OMalleys lieutenant governor, Antho-
Democrats lost the Maryland governorship because of Martin OMalleys record. And now Martin
OMalley wants to run for president on that record?

Questionable
Legacy on Crime
Observers blame the exBaltimore mayors crime
strategies for recent unrest
Before he was governor, OMalley was mayor of Baltimore. The recent unrest in the city has prompted a
closer examination of his record on crime. And that
examination hasnt been flattering.
According to Baltimore community leaders, relations between African Americans and police
reached a nadir during OMalleys tenure. One activist who worked with Baltimore United for Change
blamed OMalleys policies for the outbreak of
violence earlier this year. We dont want him here,
the activist told Politico.
Even fellow Democrats, like former Maryland
Attorney General Doug Gansler, point fingers at
OMalley, saying his tactics led to the targeting of
minorities. OMalley worsened the problem and
distrust grew, according to Gansler.
Other civic leaders agree, saying OMalleys approach led to a deep mistrust of law enforcement.
