CNBC host Jim Cramer stunned guest House Speaker Nancy Pelosi when he referred to her as “Crazy Nancy” during a live interview with her Tuesday, before both agreed to blame President Donald Trump for the whole thing.
Cramer made the remark while he and the California Democrat were discussing a deal for coronavirus relief, according to a video p osted on Twitter.
“What deal can we have, Crazy Nancy — I’m sorry, that was the president,” he said. “I have such reverence for the office, I would never use that term. But it is hard, isn’t it?”
“But you just did,” Pelosi shot back.
“Oh, come on, you know what I mean,” Cramer said.
“I know what you meant,” the speaker replied.
The “Mad Money” host valiantly tried to dig himself out.
“You know what I mean, the reverence I have for the office is so great that I think it’s a travesty to ever call — look, you’re, look, you spent your whole life in public service,” he stammered before Pelosi cut in.
“Let me just say this, anything the president says is a projection of his own insecurities,” she said. “He calls other people crazy because he knows he is. … He’s a master of projection.”
Twitter users laid into Cramer for the incident, and he fired back.
