CNBC host Jim Cramer apologizes for calling Pelosi 'Crazy Nancy' to her face during interview after outrage — online mob wants him fired anyway

CNBC host Jim Cramer apologized after online outrage over his use of the president's insult, "Crazy Nancy," during an interview with the Democratic leader on Tuesday.

Cramer used the phrase while speaking to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) about negotiations for further coronavirus economic relief.

"What deal can we have, Crazy Nancy? I'm sorry, that was the president. I have such reverence for the office. I would never use that term," Cramer said.

"But you just did," laughed Pelosi. "But you just did."

"Oh c'mon, you know what I mean," replied Cramer.

Cramer reiterated that he had been joking at the end of the interview.
