Martin O'Malley Clashes With GOP Over Link Between Climate Change, Islamic State-Bloomberg

[elleng]

The Democratic presidential candidate scores a victory in the attention primary.

For a politician who has been struggling to register in the polls, Democratic presidential candidate Martin O'Malley scored a victory this week: The chairman of the Republican National Committee attacked him by name. . .

The O'Malley campaign was more than happy to engage with the RNC. “If Republicans want to have a debate about either foreign policy or science, we have a message for them: bring it on. On both topics they are trapped in the past,” said Lis Smith, O'Malley's deputy campaign manager, in a statement.

“When faced with cold, hard scientific facts,” she continued, “they bury their heads in the sand and deny the adverse effects of climate change on the planet.”

A spokesperson for the RNC didn't return a message seeking comment.

1. Heh heh:

That didn't sit well with the Republican National Committee. For seemingly the first time in the campaign, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus issued a statement aimed squarely at the former Maryland governor, who registers 1 or 2 percent in most polls. Priebus called O'Malley's claim “absurd” and said it's “abundantly clear no one in the Democrat Party has the foreign policy vision to keep America safe.”

Why does O'Malley hate America?

That got him to pull his head out of ... the sand, didn't it?



Nicely done.
