Oh, Twitter. What would we do without you? During Tuesday night’s Democratic debate some people on social media are confusing Boston City Councilor Matt O’Malley for presidential candidate Governor Martin O’Malley. By the way, Matt is a supporter of Gov. O’Malley.
Now we all make mistakes, confuse people for each other, but this is rather humorous.
Bernie Sanders seems more energetic than Matt O”Malley. #DemDebate

To which Matt O’Malley responded:
Of course he’s more energetic, I’m just sitting on my couch watching a debate. 😉 https://t.co/uSAo9UeVLl — Matt O’Malley (@MattOMalley) October 14, 2015
How about some more confusion?
Wouldn’t be interesting to see Ben Carson and Matt O’Malley debate?

To which Matt O’Malley responded…
I’m game. @RealBenCarson? https://t.co/Kk1tEJ4hKf — Matt O’Malley (@MattOMalley) October 14, 2015
And some more confusion of Matt and Martin.
.@MattOMalley argues with @BernieSanders while @HillaryClinton laughs in the middle. Who was she laughing at? My bets on the Gov. #DemDebate — Erica Moura (@EricaMouraNEWS) October 14, 2015
Rachel Lake, who works at the Boston City Council, got into the act.
Can’t wait to hang out with @MattOMalley future president tomorrow at his job at @BOSCityCouncil #BeBetterInternet — Rachel Lake (@_RachelLake) October 14, 2015
And some people started wondering how would some of Matt’s initiatives work on the federal level…
.@MattOMalley, how would my City Councilor’s sunscreen in parks platform improve American foreign policy? #WrongOMalley #DemDebate

While Christina would like to see Matt make it to the debate.
I think @MattOMalley still has time to get to Vegas and take the extra podium! #bidendidntshow #WrongOMalley — Christina (@GibGibay) October 14, 2015
And Matt responded:
En route via hubway to the blue line to Logan. https://t.co/zgZERSyRlu

And apparently there’s a monster in Jamaica Pond.

Then Matt was compared to Kevin Spacey!
Matt O’Malley looks like a movie version of @KevinSpacey . #DemDebate

And Eddie Murray, not the Baseball Hall of Fame player fell in love with Matt tonight.
Okay so tonight I just unfollowed Donald trump, am against Hillary Clinton, LOVE Bernie Sanders and actually love Matt O’Malley
— Eddie Murray (@EdwardjohnM) October 14, 2015
And Matt got in on confusing people with similar names!
And I love you too, Eddie Murphy. https://t.co/ZGusk21yuz — Matt O’Malley (@MattOMalley) October 14, 2015
Possibly some frustration of Martin being directed at Matt?
@MattOMalley you cannot be serious!! Oh my. We are in trouble
— Mia Miskolczy (@MiaM617) October 14, 2015
But you gotta love Matt’s “Airplane” reference!
I am serious. And don’t call me Shirley. https://t.co/Me0JDxXppA — Matt O’Malley (@MattOMalley) October 14, 2015
