CNBC host Jim Cramer shocked viewers Tuesday morning when he called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “Crazy Nancy” to her face during a live interview -- but Cramer later claimed it was to make a point "about how horrendous it is that the president" uses the nickname. “What deal can we have, Crazy Nancy,” Cramer said when discussing coronavirus relief proposals before catching himself and immediately blaming President Trump. “That was the president, I have such reverence for the office I would never use that term,” Cramer said, referring to the nickname Trump uses to mock Pelosi. “Let me just say this, anything the president says is a projection of his own insecurities,” Pelosi said. “He calls other people crazy because he knows he is... he’s a master of projection.”CNBC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
