Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley admitted Thursday night that the Democratic National Committee and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz did not help his campaign in the way they boosted Hillary Clinton.
The former Democratic candidate was up against Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the nomination. But instead of giving the three main candidates a fair shake, O’Malley said the DNC acted in ways to help Clinton win the nomination.
“As a challenger who is virtually unknown, we were really counting on having as many debates in prime time as the Republican candidates were having,” O’Malley told Fox News host Greta Van Susteren. “And when the debate schedule was limited like that, that clearly hurt my odds of succeeding.”
What is more concerning to O’Malley is how the DNC’s server was hacked and who was behind the burglary.
O’Malley would not comment on the role Wasserman Schultz and the party played in rigging the race against him and Sanders, as the leaked emails indicate happened.
