O’Malley says U.S. will ‘careen over the fascist cliff’ with Trump (AUDIO)

'Former 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Martin O’Malley is in Iowa, on a mission to unite his party behind Hillary Clinton and get the country to reject what he calls the “fascism” of Donald Trump.

Late this afternoon O’Malley stopped to give a pep talk to people at Iowa Democratic Party headquarters making phone calls to voters. O’Malley said the primary contest had been “hard fought.”

“And the candidate that succeeded is Hillary Clinton, who all of you are working hard for,” O’Malley said, drawing cheers and applause from the crowd, some of whom had supported him during the Iowa Caucuses.

O’Malley told the group it was time for the “energies” of Sanders supporters to unite behind Clinton — and ensure the defeat Donald Trump.

“I can’t believe in our lifetimes that we would ever actually see a fascist candidate take over one of our major parties, but that’s what’s happened this year,” O’Malley said. “The appeals, the methodology, the mean-spiritedness of the Trump campaign is a fascist appeal.”
