Pelosi Spectacularly Unravels on CNN After Being Asked WHY She's Holding up $1.8T COVID Relief Bill
Daily Mail UK ^ | 10/13/2020 | Francis Mulraney

Posted on 10/14/2020 7:52:39 AM PDT by sevinufnine

Nancy Pelosi slammed CNN'S Wolf Blitzer as a 'Republican apologist' in a fiery meltdown on Tuesday evening. 'I don't know why you're always an apologist — and many of your colleagues, apologists for the Republican position,' Pelosi responded as Blitzer mentioned Khanna's comments on the bill. 'Ro Khanna, that's nice. That isn't what we're going to do. And nobody's waiting until February.' She said she could not accept the Republican deal as it is, because child tax credits and earned income credits were 'eliminated'. 'They minimize the need for childcare, which is the threshold with which people, mothers and fathers, can go to work if they have that,' she added. 'I want this very much now, because people need help now, but it's no use giving them a false thing just because the president wants to put a check with his name on it in the mail.'

'We know the problem out there,' Blitzer interrupted, 'but there are millions of Americans who have lost their jobs. They can't pay the rent. Kids need the food—'

'That's right, and that's what we're trying to get done,' Pelosi fired back. The fireworks began early in the interview as Blitzer off the bat asked Pelosi why she wouldn't accept the Republican party offer.

He asked her to look Americans 'in the eye... and explain why you don't want to accept the president's latest stimulus offer'.

'I hope you'll ask the same question of the Republicans on why they don't want to meet the needs of the American people,' Pelosi responded.

'But let me say to those people because all of my colleagues -- we represent these people ... and their needs are not addressed in the president's proposal. So when you say to me, "Why don't you accept theirs?' Why don't they accept ours?'

Blitzer also asked Pelosi why she wouldn't call President Trump directly to try to work on the deal.

'Why not work out a deal with [President Trump] and don't let the perfect as they say here in Washington, be the enemy of the good?' Blitzer said.

'Well I will not let the wrong be the enemy of the right,' Pelosi answered.

'What's wrong with $1.8 trillion?' Blitzer asked, as he pressed her further.

'You know what, do you have any idea what the difference is between the spending that they have in their bill and what we have in our bill?' an increasingly frustrated Pelosi said.

'With all due respect you really don't know what you're talking about,' she snapped.

That was spectacular to watch....Wolf Blitzer just would not back down in the face of Nanzi’s posturing.

She also said something about how Wolf Blitzer was being an apologist for the Republicans.

She was clearly rattled and getting unhinged, at being challenged. Something is not quite right about her.

She launched into bizarre behavior, rather than telling us all what was bad about the Republican proposal. Rather than telling us the shortcomings of the Republican proposal, she calls liberal Wolf Blitzer an apologist for the GOP. She was clearly thrown off by the line of questioning.

Well, unfortunately while I was posting this someone else posted same story from another source. Although I always check first...one cannot control somebody else posting same time :( They’ll likely pull this one.

“Something is not quite right about her.”

Um, yeah. For certain.

Something is a foot.

Obama or Clinton families wish to take out Nanzi and replace her with someone more energetic, younger but still pliable...

Who?

CNN wouldn’t touch her without some power telling them to.

Why didn’t she tell us, when she is on national television and has the opportunity to educate us all about it. No, I don’t know the difference between the bills, and still don’t because she didn’t tell us what they were.

Think this is my favorite line out of her mouth. She’s sounding a whole lot like Biden lately:

‘Well I will not let the wrong be the enemy of the right,’ Pelosi answered.

I’ve heard speculation that, even if the Democrats retain control of the House, that Nancy may not be Speaker any longer.

I would love to see Wolf pressure nancy more and more.

Just to watch her go full dictator on him.

Whoever replaces her will be equally insane I’m sure of it.

I think that even Blitzer is seeing internal polling of the campaigns and panicking that Quenn Nancy is killing Biden’s numbers.

My guess is that Wolf Blitzer is seeing through Nanzi Pelousy’s mental illness and is, in his own way, showing the world that she is, indeed nuts.

Wolf Blitzer could be an apologist for the Republican Party only in an alternate universe. Maybe Nancy lives there and accidentally crossed over into our own world. That would explain a lot.

What amazes me is that all these millionaire politicians who are in their 70’s absolutely REFUSE to just retire on those millions and ENJOY their last few years..

It’s simply amazing how power - til their dying day, means everything to them.

Wolf Blitzer as a ‘Republican apologist’.........
...........
Nancy, you and Uncle Mumbles are clearly headed for rocking chairs and a sunny porch, watching the world go by, wondering what happened.

The whole exchange is a bit too long for a politic ad, perhaps an opponent can edit it down a bit?

Just shows how insulated the 'rats are. They get one fair question and they start accusing the questioner of being in cahoots with the GOP. Hillary was the same way when Matt Lauer asked her a difficult question back in 2016. If Chris Wallace had been a fair moderator, the Biden camp would have made the same allegation against him.

Maybe Wolf could get Biden on and ask him a serious question or two as well.
