"Let’s start with the obvious — a tyrant sits in the White House," Walsh added. "The very thing our Founders feared most is here. Throw in the fact that one of our two major political parties is a real and direct threat to democracy and the rule of law. These are unprecedented, dangerous times in America. I know it. You know it. There are even Republicans who know it."
Walsh called out Republicans who have appeased Trump or opposed him as he attacks what the former lawmaker called "fundamental values. [including] the rule of law, democracy [and] pluralism," and he urged them to unite – as Democrats – in a broad coalition that includes even conservatives.
