Martin O’Malley, a likely Democratic presidential candidate, took a shot this morning at Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush, saying that the presidency is not a “crown” and need not “be passed between two families.” Of course Clinton’s husband Bill Clinton was president. And Bush’s father, George H.W. Bush, and brother, George W. Bush, were both president.
O’Malley made the remarks on ABC’s This Week:
“Well I think that our country always benefits from new leadership and new perspectives. I mean, let’s be honest here: the presidency of the United States is not some crown to be passed between two families. It is an awesome and sacred trust, that to be earned, and exercised, on behalf of the American people,” O’Malley told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.
