Wolf Blitzer Tears Into Pelosi For Refusing To Accept Trump Deal
America's economy is still trying to recover during this pandemic. Many Americans are still out of work. They are struggling to pay the bills and keep food on the table. This is an even bigger problem in blue states where they are very rigid in how they follow the CDC guidelines. Congress and the Senate have been duking it out over what the next Corona relief bill should include, while Americans suffer. Trump tried to remedy this and meet both parties in the middle, but Pelosi is refusing to compromise. Pelosi appeared on CNN's "The Situation Room" where she found herself scrutinized for not doing her job.
"The fireworks began when Blitzer asked Pelosi why she "won't accept the president's latest [coronavirus] 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 interjected, telling Pelosi that Americans "really need the money now" and quoted Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., who recently said, "People in need can't wait until February. $1.8 trillion is significant & more than twice the Obama stimulus ... Make a deal & put the ball in McConnell court."
"So what do you say to Ro Khanna?" Blitzer asked.
"What I say to you is I don't know why you're always an apologist -- and many of your colleagues [are] apologists for the Republican position," Pelosi fired back, adding "Ro Khanna, that's nice, that isn't what we're going to do and nobody's waiting til February."

Here's how the interview ended (after just over 14 minutes). Pelosi kept trying to have the last word, including probing Blitzer on whether he feeds and gives money to poor people on the streets of D.C. because, in her words, "we" (as in the federal government) "feed[s] them." pic.twitter.com/E95ZZJeToi

Pelosi was pissed. She was definitely not expecting that kind of treatment while on a Liberal friendly network like CNN. Usually, the Liberals on CNN side with her against Trump but this time they were telling her she should be siding with the president. You could tell that she had her claws out especially at the end of that interview, she wouldn't allow Blitzer to get the last word in.
