CNBC's Jim Cramer calls Pelosi 'Crazy Nancy' to her face in live interview

Source: MSN

CNBC host Jim Cramer addressed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as “Crazy Nancy” during a TV interview Tuesday morning, then sent several tweets in which he defended his actions and claimed he was being treated unfairly for using the phrase, which is also employed frequently by President Trump.

Pelosi (D-Calif.) was on CNBC on Tuesday morning to discuss the negotiations over a new round of coronavirus relief legislation. At one point in the interview, Cramer questioned Pelosi about a CNN interview days earlier in which she had said she was optimistic about the likelihood of a deal as talks between Trump administration officials and congressional Democrats remain stalled.

“Really?” Cramer said. “I mean, I thought I’d take it right off the table right this very minute. You’ve got [White House Chief of Staff] Mark Meadow[s] going and saying he was the skunk at the party. He didn’t really — you know, he’s gotten in the way between you and, I think, [Treasury] Secretary [Steven] Mnuchin. I mean, what deal can we have, Crazy Nancy?”

He then quickly added: “I’m sorry, I — that was the president. I have such reverence for the office, I would never use that term.” “But you just did,” Pelosi said with a laugh. “But you just did.”

I don't get it. Same thing NBC did when hiring Megyn Kelly. Is the goal to somehow capture the FoxGnus audience? How much white-right-wing media do they think America needs?

Tried to do a search for contacting NBC and all I found was an email to a nebulous NBC site that appears useless.

Appreciate advertisers and contact info at NBC.

I am following the lead of the brave purple lady on ABC tonight. Time to not put up with the disrespect for women anymore.

No more.

Hoinestly, why is this bozo still on the air? He's a lousy journalist, he's abrasive, he disrespects any Democrat or woman he interviews, and doing the opposite of his advice has never steered me wrong.

There used to be consequences for that sort of disrespect for the Speaker of the House.

Oh, right, penis.

20. Everyone on CNBC has become a democrat-basher and water-carrier for the GOP

They try to make any Democrat appear to be the kiss of death for capitalism,
always relying on fear-mongering, bullshit claims.

They did it to Elizabeth Warren when she was in the lead, early in the primaries.

They do it to Bernie and Nancy all the time. Now they are doing it to Biden, too.

Their basic message is this: If you vote for a Democrat, the stock market will crash,
you will lose your job, and the country will be miraculously transformed into
socialism or communism. (How this could be accomplished, I don't know.)

They espouse the myth that "Democrats are economy killers" when the GOP is
notorious for triggering economic collapse, fraud, and corruption. The standard line
at CNBC is that the stock market will go down 20% if Biden wins. (NYSE went from
6,000 to 18,000 under Obama)

They are greed-heads who know that Republicans will deregulate and give away
billions -- if not trillions -- of dollars in tax cuts to the already obscenely wealthy.

They are drunk with greed. They know the party is over if Biden wins, and that
they are completely screwed if the Dems win the Senate. We can only hope!!!

The reason why Cramer let this slip is because it is part of daily discourse over at CNBC.
Gotta toe that party line. . . . . . . . . .

When I was a kid, Mohammed Ali said (paraphrased) “If you want to defeat someone, make them angry first”.

She brings out the worst in her opponents, and then swats them like flies for their weakness.

Skilled politicians are a dying breed, I’m thankful she’s on the right side of history.

Fuck you Jim "Bear Stearns is fine" Cramer!

Cramer is claiming that he was trying to mock Trump. Like he was saying "Here is how Trump will respond." But because he is socially deficient numbskull he doesn't understand that when you watch the video the way he says it just sounds like he's just mocking her too. It's because he's about as much of an orator as Michelle Bachman and doesn't seem to grasp how important tone is. What he should have said is speaker Pelosi you know Donald President Trump is going to say something along the lines of "crazy Nancy...." how would you respond to that?

And let's just face it the real issue is for Jim Cramer is. As one of the leaders of the Democratic Party Nancy Pelosi is his target because she is A.) A women and B.) She wants to make him pay more in taxes each year and God forbid that.
