Hillary Clinton said former President Donald Trump would end democracy in America if he’s reelected during a recent interview.

While appearing on ABC’s daytime talk show The View, Clinton said that Trump’s possible return to the White House “would be the end of our country as we know it, and I don’t say that lightly.”

“When I was secretary of state, I used to talk about ‘one and done.’ What I meant by that is that people would get legitimately elected and then try to do away with elections, and do away with opposition, and do away with free press,” Clinton said.

“Hitler was duly elected,” Clinton continued. “All of a sudden somebody with those tendencies would be like, ‘Ok we’re gonna shut this down, and we’re gonna throw these people in jail.’ And they didn’t usually telegraph that. Trump is telling us what he intends to do.”

Clinton was referencing Trump’s recent statement about using the Justice Department to investigate his political opponents and former allies who have since turned on him, should he be reelected.

The former president has also discussed invoking the Insurrection Act on his first day in office, which would grant him the use of the U.S. military to halt domestic protests and dissent.

Trump is currently leading President Joe Biden in several battleground states, despite the four criminal cases he is facing.

“Trump is telling us what he intends to do,” Clinton warned. “Take him at his word.”

Clinton was recently in the news when she said, “MAGA cult members need to be deprogrammed.”
