Any effect?

He canceled his overseas paid speech trip:

Wait, O'Malley is giving paid speeches? OMGZOUTOFTOUCH1%ER. The people demand he disclose his fees and stop being so secretive and untransparent.

FOREIGN institutions were paying him?! How can he be President now that they have clearly bought influence?!

There were two separate protestors pulled off the street by FOX that named him and his elitist government for planting the seeds of the riot. The media likely won't go after him on this, but if the Clinton campaign saw it, they could easily use it as a wedge to get African-Americans behind her if need be.

Beet get real! O'Malley was not giving paid speeches after his spouse did a quid pro quo; there is big difference and if you don't see it, then your moral compass is completely skewered. It's a case of Apple's & oranges. I could imagine Hillary would stoop to using the Riots and there causes as a wedge issue, she's now just another politician😊 So much for Obama's legacy of improving race relations in America,  just another politician...the "great black hype" who can make pretty speeches full of platitudes and little else.  Hey wait a minute, he will make a fortune from the paid speeches he will make once leaving office...like I said, just another sleazy lawyer turned politician - a hack from the Chicago machine.

Can't tell if serious...

O’Malley, who was mayor of Baltimore from 1999 to 2007, toured a burned-out senior center in East Baltimore and attended a community meeting on the city’s restive west side on Tuesday, even as some city activists blamed his policing methods for creating tension in lower-income neighborhoods. His tough-on-crime approach, widely viewed as a success but suddenly under new scrutiny, could impair his ability to establish himself as a more progressive alternative to Hillary Clinton.
