Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Tuesday defended holding out for a more expansive COVID-19 economic relief package than the current proposal offered by the Trump administration in an unusually contentious interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, telling the news anchor that "you really don't know what you're talking about" and calling him an "apologist" for Republicans.

Pelosi and the Trump administration have been trying to negotiate a pandemic relief package for months to no avail, with Democrats currently pushing for a price tag of $2.2 trillion â€” down from their initial proposal of $3.4 trillion this spring â€” and the Trump administration most recently offering a $1.8 trillion proposal.

Blitzer asked Pelosi to respond to a tweet from progressive Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) earlier this week urging Democrats to consider the White House's latest offer and "make a deal & put the ball in [Senate Majority Leader Mitch] McConnell's [R-Ky.] court" because "people in need can't wait until February."

Speaker Pelosi to CNN's Wolf Blitzer when he calls her out for refusing to make a deal on COVID-19 relief:

"I donâ€™t know why youâ€™re always an apologist and many of your colleagues are apologists for the Republican position."
