Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley wants to be the next President of the United States, and he’s just brazenly hypocritical enough for the job.
O’Malley recently won praise from the left with a bleeding heart speech before a group of reporters over the scale of the humanitarian crisis at the southern border. “We are not a country that should send children away and send them back to certain death,” O’Malley said to reporters attending a National Governors Association conference last week.
“I believe that we should be guided by the greatest power we have as a people, and that is the power of our principles,” he continued. “Through all of our great world religions, we are told that hospitality to strangers is an essential human dignity.”
The Maryland governor was seen as criticizing the White House and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who have both insisted that the vast majority of those crossing the border should be deported back to their home countries.
But when O’Malley’s rhetoric needed to be met with actions beyond passing wildly popular DREAM legislation in his state, Maryland’s governor is a bit more cautious. When the White House asked the presidential aspirant to house some of the unaccompanied minors crossing the border in a Western Maryland facility, O’Malley balked.
Hours after making that speech which was well-received by the left-of-center media, he received a call from White House in which he was asked curtly why he was actively trying to block some immigrant children from being warehoused in his state.
“O’Malley told [Domestic Policy Director Cecilia] Muñoz not to send any of the children to the facility in Westminster, Md., that the White House was looking at,” Politico reported. “It’s a conservative part of the state, he warned. The children were at risk of getting harassed, or worse, he said.”
What a noble display of faith in the public O’Malley governs.
CNN described the conversation between O’Malley and the White House as “heated.”
“A senior O’Malley administration official acknowledged the governor’s comments last Friday irritated senior White House officials, prompting the call from Munoz to O’Malley,” CNN reported.
send them back to certain death,????
this puke clearly thinks he is all knowing doesnt he.
Western Maryland is more West Virginia than Maryland.
Whole lotta butt coverin goin on.
O'Malley is a major-league jack-ass. Conservatives have done NO harm to these illegal alien children. Nor would they. Nor does O'Malley have any evidence to support his statement. However, stopping a bus-load of illegal immigrants is refusal to accept this invasion or the acceptance of illegal democrat activities. O'Malley the coward is worried about re-election. Nothing else.
Oh please. Owe’Malley couldn’t care less about the some illegal urchins being “harassed.” And the sad truth is that Maryland libs concentrated in 3 areas out-populate the rest of the state, so Li’l Marty doesn’t have to worry about some kind of electoral backlash. Westminster is in Carroll County, and I know the Carroll County commissioner made a huge stink about the housing issue in the media this week; I don’t know how much pull he has, legally, but that has to be part of this.
Firstly Westminster is in central MD not western MD. Western Maryland college is located there though they changed the name to McDaniels (sp?) because too many stupid people didn’t know geography. Private libtard college. My frau and I went there in early ‘70s and it was leaning libtard then. Fortunately the US Army got our butts out of the freak state, never to live there again. The surrounding area may be closer to conservative but the college is a cancerous tumor of libtardism.
O’Malley cannot be reelected as Governor
He is looking to be Hillary’s warm bucket of spit
ask Michael Steele about being harassed by liberals throwing Oreo cookies at him while he was campaigning as Lt Gov
Maybe they think someone will throw Fig Newtons at the illegals?
These chirrun are NOT my problem. Send them back. I don’t care from where they came.
Let’s give Owe’Malley a hand for picking the target, freezing it, personalizing it and polarizing it!
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Somebody posted on FR last night about a flight from Phoenix to Baltimore with illegals on it.
