We reported yesterday about how CNBC’s Jim Cramer called US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “Crazy Nancy” while he was interviewing her on his show Mad Money. Cramer attempted to backtrack the label and brought up President Trump, who often uses the label, saying “That was the President.”
Cramer later issued a formal apology on his show after she was no longer a guest. President Trump shared a video of that apology and chastised Cramer, saying, “Jim, you didn’t make a mistake. It’s true, and that’s why you said it. No pandering!”

Cramer’s apology: Today when I talked to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Squawk on the Street, I made a very stupid comment. It was a tongue in cheek attempt to make a point about the harsh tone about the negotiations in Washington but it fell completely flat and I apologize for that.
As I said immediately after the comment, I have incredible respect for the Speaker and the office she holds.
Most responses, by Democrats, were not accepting of the apology. One “blue wave” respondent said that this is “How the world works when you’re a white male. Thinking you can say and do whatever – then wipe away its offensiveness with an insincere (I got caught) apology.”

Another, who lets people know she is not a bot despite no profile picture, said “Apology not accepted. Calling her “Crazy Nancy” instead of Madam Speaker is inexcusable. There is no way to spin such disrespect.”

A resister and proud radical left Democrat tells Cramer that he is “a rude person. She then explains how she has “taught kindergartners to give a fulsome apology.”
“I am sorry that I ________. This was wrong. I will try not to do it again. Will you please forgive me?” If not forgiven, follow up with: “What can I do to make this better?”

You are a rude person. Here's how I taught kindergarteners to give a fulsome apology.
"I am sorry that I ________.
This was wrong.
I will try not to do it again.
Will you please forgive me?"
If not forgiven, follow up with:
"What can I do to make this better?"
In a tweet earlier today however, one Trump supporter wondered, “How many times did Cramer call her Crazy Nancy behind closed doors before his subconscious spit it out TO HER FACE? Have you ever seen somebody pivot so fast to blame Trump. All I can say is, the TRUTH will set you free. Trump 2020”
