Washington (CNN) Former President Ronald Reagan would be "horrified" and "heartbroken" by America's current state of affairs under President Donald Trump, the late president's daughter said in a recent interview.

In an interview with Yahoo News that was published Tuesday, Patti Davis sharply criticized the Republican Party and Trump's presidency, saying the President is endangering American democracy and "assaulting" the Constitution.

"What would you think (Reagan) would think about this moment?" Zainab Salbi, the host of Yahoo News' "Through Her Eyes," asked Davis.

"I think he would be horrified," Davis replied. "I think he would be heartbroken because he loved this country a lot, and he believed in this country. I mean, that was in all of his speeches. And he believed in the goodness of people."

At another point in the interview, Davis said there are "crickets (from Republicans) when Trump keeps assaulting the Constitution."
