MSNBC political analyst and New York Times columnist Charles Blow said Thursday on MSNBC’s  “The Last Word” that Republicans were a “threat to democracy.”

Blow said, “Conservatism in this country has always been against democracy. They have never wanted full democracy. They have always pushed against it.”

He continued, “For a long time, there were people who suggested, be more moderate…the Reagans and the Bushes. But Donald Trump comes along and says, you can actually do your anti-democratic thing without having to moderate. You can go headfirst into it and be your full self and unapologetically say that you do not want to be a democracy, and that is OK. That is what we are seeing now. Right now, the conservative party is the Republican Party. That is what they have become, the threat to democracy.”
