Chris Hayes Names Only Thing Standing Against 'Authoritarian Decline' Under Donald Trump

Chris Hayes on Friday night broke down what he believes is the only thing standing between the rule of law in America and “a kind of authoritarian decline” under President Donald Trump.

And that ― the host of MSNBC’s “All In” declared ― “is us.”

“It’s not any law anywhere and it’s certainly not the words as written in the Constitution,” said Hayes, while picking apart the ongoing fallout surrounding Attorney General William Barr’s intervention in cases against Trump allies including Roger Stone.

“The laws we have, the institutions we have, those are all vitally important, but fundamentally we are what stands in the way,” Hayes added.

What if he cheats again and steals the election? What is there to stop him?

I'm not saying I believe that. I think that any of our major candidates should be able to beat him. He might be able to steal a close election but he probably could not overcome a landslide. So that's what we have to do. We need to beat him in a landslide.
