Nancy Pelosi calls Wolf Blitzer an 'apologist' for the 'Republican position' in tense interview

WASHINGTON – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer an "apologist for the Republican position" during a tense interview about the current state of a COVID-19 stimulus package.

Democrats and the Trump administration remain at an impasse over the total amount to spend on a new stimulus deal.

Progress around a new plan has been inconsistent and rocky: President Donald Trump briefly pulled out of negotiations last week, telling Senate Republicans he wanted them to focus on Judge Amy Coney Barrett's Supreme Court nomination hearing instead.

Since then, the president reversed course, first calling for stand-alone bills on airline relief and $1,200 stimulus checks, and then offering a $1.8 trillion proposal that Democrats rejected as inadequate.

“As you know, there are Americans who are being evicted from their homes. They can’t pay their rent. Many Americans are waiting in food lines for the first time in their lives,” Blitzer noted at the beginning of the interview with Pelosi. “Can you look them in the eye, Madam Speaker, and explain why you don’t want to accept the president’s latest stimulus offer?”

Pelosi then pondered if Blitzer would “ask the same question of the Republicans” before insisting the GOP bill doesn’t meet the needs of Americans.
