Pelosi Blasts CNN’s Blitzer For Being A GOP ‘Apologist’ When Grilled On COVID Talks | Talking Points Memo

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) increasingly lost her patience during a tense interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Tuesday as he grilled her on stalled COVID-19 relief talks, following President Trump’s abrupt move to call off negotiations last week.

“What I say to you is I don’t know if you’re always an apologist — and many of your colleagues — for the Republican position,”

Transl: “Fuck you, you posturing AIPAC asshole, there’s about to be a new sheriff in town.”

Finally a Democrat calls one of these assholes out. Why are the Democrats always supposed to be the “reasonable” ones? (Where reasonable = doormat that takes whatever crumbs the Republicans offer)

We need a new class of journos.

Wolf ‘sees them on the street, begging for food, begging for money.’
From the backseat of his towncar.

Off with his head!

Forgive my vulgarity but Wolf Putzer is still trying to wash W’s jizz out of his beard.

You’d think these people would learn that using Яepublican framing only makes you look stupid.

Good on Pelosi, Blitzer’s relevancy passed 25+ years ago, since then he’s been given the benefit of the doubt because he was one of the early (or earliest) faces of 24/7 news. The only thing he’s been consistent on other than his conservative stance towards journalism is his shallow opinions.

She’s all done with crapola. Blitzer had his head handed to him by a Grandma. No one better.

It’s like the bullshit “court packing” issue. The Republicans dangle shiny keys, and the “liberal” media goes running and lets them set what the story line is.

Pathetic.

This may be an unpopular view here, but I don’t think Nancy explained her position well. You’ve got to give stronger explanation that’s easily understood for why you won’t take drumpf’s offer. Of course there are major things the WH offer will drop, so call them out clearly. All I heard was holding out for child care support.

Did Pelosi just bring a gun to a knife fight?!

No fucks given!

What exactly is ‘Trump’s offer’ and what is his authority? None. There is basically your answer in a nut shell. He has veto authority.

Folks!

You’re going to assume Nancy Pelosi has more command of the facts than someone who set a, um, record on Jeopardy???
