Martin O’Malley, the former governor of Maryland and possible Democratic presidential candidate, is speaking out on the violence in Baltimore. O’Malley’s rival, Hillary Clinton, is not.
“I’m saddened that the City I love is in such pain this night. All of us share a profound feeling of grief for Freddie Gray & his family,” O’Malley said on Twitter.
“We must come together as one City to transform this moment of loss & pain into a safer & more just future for all of Baltimore’s people.”
