MSNBC guests say radicals have taken over mainstream conservatism, compare GOP to Hitler, Mussolini

MSNBC guests Vox Senior Correspondent Zack Beauchamp and NYU Professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat said that "radicals" are influencing mainstream conservatives.

Joe Silverstein is a production assistant for Fox News Digital. 

Beauchamp began by talking about "the distinction between conservatives and the radical right," and said, "There’s a consistent element of the population and intellectual vanguard that believes very firmly that the idea of equality of democracy is a mistake." 

"It is the ideology of slaveholders, the Ku Klux Clan, of the John Birch Society, George Wallace's presidential run," he continued.
