Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley took a thinly veiled shot at his Democratic presidential rival Hillary Clinton on Monday over her lack of comment on the Keystone XL oil pipeline.
"Real leadership means forging public opinion. Real leadership means taking stands on critical issues," O'Malley wrote in an email to supporters Monday afternoon discussing Keystone.
"Our climate, our home, is in trouble if we do not act," O'Malley wrote. "I know where I stand on Keystone XL and I have a plan to end our reliance on fossil fuels by 2050."
His comments came shortly after Clinton refused — once again — to weigh in on the controversial project during a climate change speech in Iowa, which she used to tout part of her newly unveiled climate plan.
Clinton noted that she served in "a leading role" as secretary of State when the Obama administration first considered the oil sands pipeline and said that she would let the project "run its course."
