The remarkable unhinged media blitz by former Trump aide Sam Nunberg in the wake of his receiving a subpoena from Special Counsel Robert Mueller requesting all the correspondence he had with a bevy of top Trump campaign officials hit a new level of absurdity when he hit his sixth interview of the day with CNN’s Erin Burnett.
Having already publicly declared that he was not going to honor the subpoena, called Sarah Huckabee Sanders “a fat slob,” and said that Trump knew about his son Don Jr.’s meeting with the Russians in Trump Tower, Nunberg was on a manic roll throughout the day.
TV viewers took to Twitter to question his sobriety, figuring he had to be day drinking to act so insanely on live television. It was the elephant in the room when Erin Burnett decided to just come right out and confronted Nunberg with the accusation that was on everyone’s minds.
“Talking to you, I have smelled alcohol on your breath,” Erin Burnett told Nunberg.
Nunberg proceeded to deny having had anything to drink and said he was only on his meds, prescription anti-depressants. Given his appearances today, let’s hope that they are working well for him. He’s going to need them once the aftermath of his televised rants arrives.
