Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley took a swing at Democratic 2016 frontrunner Hillary Clinton, by suggesting her opposition to the Keystone XL Pipeline was politically driven.
“Secretary Clinton got there just last week. And I was there a year ago,” O’Malley said at the MSNBC Democratic Forum, when Rachel Maddow brought up that all three Democratic candidates opposed the pipeline.
“I think it’s important because I think leadership isn’t about following polls,” O’Malley said, when Maddow asked why that distinction was important. “I think leadership’s about being clear about your principles and bringing people together on them.”
