In an interview with Iowa Public Television’s Iowa
Press, former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley said that those who hate
President Obama more than they hate the Ayatollah probably shouldn’t be
serving in U.S. government.
Before the show airs, Iowa Press tweeted out one big
shot that the former Maryland governor took at the Republicans who
tried to sabotage the Iran nuclear deal.
Iowa Press tweeted:

Former Gov. O’Malley spoke the truth. If policy
positions and behavior are dictated by hatred of the President, then
that individual has no business being in government. Unfortunately,
Republicans have run in the two midterm elections on a platform of
opposing and obstructing President Obama.
O’Malley has been visiting the early primary states
and laying the groundwork for a run against Hillary Clinton in the
Democratic primary for years. His campaign will be that of a definite
underdog. Progressive activists continue to dream of an Elizabeth Warren
campaign that has close to no chance of happening. Bernie Sanders looks
willing to run, but his entry into the race will depend on if he can
raise enough money and support for his candidacy.
Former
Sen. Jim Webb has been toying with the idea of running, but it is
possible that the only definite challenge that Clinton will have for the
Democratic nomination could come from O’Malley. He may have less than a
puncher’s chance, but O’Malley echoed the feelings of many Democrats
who are tired of Republicans who put Obama hate first and country last.
