Pelosi slams GOP 'apologists' at CNN in row with Wolf Blitzer
US House speaker Nancy Pelosi has slammed "apologists" for the Republican Party at CNN, which frequently comes under attack from President Donald Trump.
"With all due respect, and you know we've known each other a long time, you really don't know what you're talking about," Pelosi said in an interview with journalist Wolf Blitzer. "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."

The Democratic lawmaker was defending her opposition to a $1.8 trillion Covid-19 relief package.
Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer, who often used to engage in contentious dialogs with CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta and CNN contributor April Ryan during daily press briefings, took the chance to mock the news network as well as the House speaker.
"I'm just upset. Six years at the [Republican National Committee] and working with President Trump, and I had no idea I had Wolf Blitzer in my pocket the whole time," Spicer, the host of Newsmax's "Spicer & Co.," told Fox Business. "Gimme a break... CNN is in the pocket of the president? That's insane!"
This is while the Spicer's former boss has put a lot of efforts into defaming the mainstream media since making his way into the White House.
Trump has described any negative coverage of his administration as "fake news," calling the media "enemy of the people."
