Former presidential candidate O'Malley tells Utah Democrats that Trump ran on fear, scapegoating
Before keynoting the Utah Democratic Party's annual gala, former presidential candidate and Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley said Donald Trump ran a "fascist candidacy based on racist fear and Russian help" that "should never be legitimized."
He tweeted that message before he traveled to Utah for the $300-a-person fundraiser Saturday, joining a growing controversy between Trump and civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis, R-Ga., who also says Trump's presidency is not legitimate.
O'Malley followed up in Utah by telling a rally of about 150 people before the fundraiser at the Marriott City Creek that Trump-created political darkness creates opportunity for his party.
"Don't give up. Don't be disheartened. The darkness is oftentimes the great canvass against which our light can shine," he said.
