On two occasions during the opening panel segment of MSNBC’s The Last Word, liberals Charles Pierce of Esquire and MSNBC’s Joy Reid mocked radio talk show host and Resurgent writer Erick Erickson for leading the anti-Donald Trump movement when he’s “quite the vulgarian” like Trump.

Before their comments, host Lawrence O’Donnell played this clip of Erickson speaking to NPR after he presided over the meeting of conservative activists dedicated to preventing a Trump nomination: “I think that if Donald Trump becomes the Republican nominee, the Republican Party ceases to be the party that I was an elected representative of so there is going to have to be the ground work for a new political party in the country that represents people who typically have been Republican voters in the past.”
