In a new interview, former Democratic Secretary of State and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton gave a sobering warning to the American people and legislators in Washington, saying former Republican President Donald Trump will run for President again in 2024 if he is not held accountable.
Clinton went on to paint an alarming scenario of what might happen if he were to win in 2024 as well, saying it could be the end of American democracy.
Clinton spoke about the threat Trump poses during a discussion with NBC's Willie Geist which aired this past Sunday in which she also took the Republican Party to task for allowing Trump's takeover of the American right.
See the interview below.
Clinton was unsparing in her words about the threat Trump poses, expressing certainty about Trump running again in 2024 if he is not held accountable for his misdeeds while in office—which include a mounting list of potential criminal charges.
"If I were a betting person, right now I'd say Trump is going to run again. He seems to be setting himself up to do that, and if he's not held accountable, he gets to do it again."
Clinton went on to sound an alarm for what a second Trump presidency would mean for the country.
“I think that could be the end of our democracy."
"Not to be too pointed about it, but I want people to understand that this could be a make-or-break point."
"If he, or someone of his ilk, were once again to be elected president, especially if he had a Congress that would do his bidding, you will not recognize our country."
Clinton also excoriated the Republican Party for enabling Trump at every turn, decrying the Party's cowardice in refusing to push back against the "demagogue" that has taken over their party.

Clinton told Geist:
“Honestly, they have hung their spines up on the wall as they walk into their offices. They have no conscience.”
On Twitter, many people cheered Clinton's stark words about the GOP and Trump.

Once again Hillary Clinton is warning that Agolf Twitler may likely run again in 2024 and that if he regains power, it\u2019s a make or break moment for the United States and democracy aka it would all be over. Her warnings are never wrong and she continues to be ignored.— Ricky Davila (@Ricky Davila) 1639245431
I don't know who needs to hear this, but @HillaryClinton WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING.https://dlvr.it/SFHktf— Crooks and Liars (@Crooks and Liars) 1639414623

I just disagree with one word - not\u201dcould be\u201dthe end of democracy -\u201cwill be\u201dthe end of our democracy. And if GQP get control on 2022,next year,it\u2019s over.They will continue to suppress voting, gerrymandering and it will be the beginning of the end -everyone needs to realize that— VictorianPleasantries2.0 (@VictorianPleasantries2.0) 1639352659
We need to be extra active in 2022, because it will be all over then if the R's get House and Senate. They are bad enough now with the contributions of Manchin and Sinema.— Mary Wooster (@Mary Wooster) 1639250243
Clinton also told Geist she at times feels a sense of "responsibility and guilt" for losing the 2016 election and allowing Trump to take power.
Hopefully the American people will heed her warnings about Trump this time.
