Martin O'Malley goes after Hillary Clinton on 'Daily Show.' [View all]

'Asked by host Trevor Noah what had changed since his endorsement of Clinton in the 2008 presidential election, O'Malley responded that "as our times change, as our challenges change, I believe that new leadership is required," and he argued that "I represent our better days."

He went hard after Clinton for her financial sector connections, noting that "She said in the debate, 'I represented Wall Street.' And yes, she did. And I believe she hasn't the independence needed to protect the main street economy from excesses on Wall Street."

O'Malley also advocated for national gun control laws. He trumpeted background check legislation passed while he was governor of Maryland and suggested that "after mass shooting after mass shooting -- surely we're capable of taking better actions than what we've taken," citing "a growing majority of Americans who believe this is crazy."'
