<p>Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told MSNBC on Thursday that the Democrats&#8217; election battle against Donald Trump in November is comparable to the U.S. warring with England for its independence.</p>
<p>Pelosi was interviewed by MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell as the Democratic National Convention begins its fourth and final day in Chicago. Many of the DNC speakers have focused on attacking Trump as a &#8220;threat to democracy,&#8221; and Pelosi repeated that rhetoric during her Thursday morning interview.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have to defeat a person who is a threat to our democracy of the kind that we have not seen,&#8221; Pelosi said. &#8220;At the beginning of our country, Thomas Paine said &#8216;The times have found us — declare war, establish a new nation.&#8217; Abraham Lincoln took up that charge to keep our country together years later, decades later.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And now the times have found us to save our democracy,&#8221; she added. &#8220;That is what we are here to do.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Trump campaign responded to Pelosi&#8217;s comments, calling them &#8220;unhinged.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Democrats are now outright alluding to political violence if President Trump wins,&#8221; the Trump campaign wrote on X.</p>

<p>Pelosi quoted Thomas Paine&#8217;s line, &#8220;The times have found us,&#8221; in reference to Trump five years ago. In 2019, Pelosi shared a photo of herself standing up and pointing at Trump during a White House meeting between Democratic leadership and the Trump administration.</p>
<p>&#8220;In the darkest hours of the American Revolution, Thomas Paine wrote: &#8216;The times have found us.&#8217; The times have found us today to fight for our democracy,&#8221; Pelosi <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pelosiforcongress/videos/in-the-darkest-hours-of-the-american-revolution-thomas-paine-wrote-the-times-hav/403212687023571/">said</a> at the time. &#8220;We owe it to our children; we owe it to the generations of Americans who have fought and died to defend this country.&#8221;</p>

<p>Vice President Kamala Harris will formally accept her party&#8217;s nomination and address Democrats Thursday night to wrap up the convention. Pelosi <a href="https://apnews.com/article/biden-democrats-drop-out-election-2024-3f9e3d15431fd4974771a54e1d0e4ea7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> played a crucial role in pushing for President Joe Biden to end his 2024 campaign and usher in Harris as the new nominee.</p>
<p>“Sometimes you have to take a punch for the children. I did what I had to do,” she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chris-wallace-eviscerates-dncs-attempt-to-show-love-to-biden-he-got-thrown-out-of-a-window">said earlier this week</a> when asked about Biden&#8217;s exit from the race and her relationship with him. “My concern was not about the president, it was about his campaign.”</p>
