O'Malley rallies workers in front of Trump Hotel
LAS VEGAS — Democratic White House hopeful Martin O’Malley attempted a little showmanship of his own here Wednesday: He staged a news conference in front of Donald Trump’s gold-plated hotel tower to voice solidarity with workers there trying to unionize, and to knock the Republican front-runner on immigration.
"There are a couple of things that Donald Trump doesn't understand," O'Malley said, before decrying the business mogul's unwillingness to allow the hotel workers, many of them Latino, to join a powerful union here.
"I want to say that all of these workers here have a lot more guts than the candidates running for president for the Republican nomination," O'Malley said. "They have the courage to stand up to the hate, to the division, to the sort of rhetoric that actually makes it harder for us to make our economy grow and work well for all Americans."
