Pelosi on DNC Denying a Speaking Spot to Palestinian-American: ‘We Are Here to Talk to the American People’
EXCERPT:
PELOSI: “We are here to talk to the American people. Joe Biden was the leading person to call for humanitarian assistance. What happened is terrible to children. The collateral damage of war should teach us that it’s not a civilized way to resolve conflict. There has to be a two-state solution there so that the Palestinians can live in a self-determined way, and Israelis safely and securely as well. But it can't — we have to defeat a person who is a threat to our democracy of the kind that we have not seen. At the beginning of our country, Thomas Payne said, 'The times have found us.' Declare war, establish a new nation. Abraham Lincoln took up that charge to keep our country together years later, decades later. And now the times have found us to save our democracy. That is what we are here to do.”
