In case there was any doubt that this was about Trump. Here's what followed:
"[The founders of the Munich conference] would be alarmed by an increasing turn away from universal values and toward old ties of blood and race and sectarianism.
They would be alarmed by the hardening resentment we see towards immigrants and refugees and minority groups -- especially Muslims.
They would be alarmed by the growing inability -- and even unwillingness -- to separate truth from lies.
"They would be alarmed that more and more of our fellow citizens seem to be flirting with authoritarianism and romanticizing it as our moral equivalent."
That's Trump, Trump, Trump and Trump.

In case you haven't noticed, they control both the House and the Senate. We can't do this without at least some allies.
It's not about Party.
