The sun went down over the East Coast quite a while ago, but former Trump aide Sam Nunberg is still talking, this time to CNN’s Erin Burnett.
To be fair, there’s no way journalists are going to pass up a circus act like Nunberg who says he thinks Robert Mueller has “something” on Trump, but maybe either 1) not have him on the air if you think he’s been drinking, or 2) don’t bring it up on air.
Burnett: People are telling reporters that "you're drunk or off your meds." Asks him to respond. Nunberg says he doesn't care what they're saying, ignoring concerns about his health pic.twitter.com/9MKJYqZi01

Here’s Erin Burnett doing the honors, “because it is the talk out there.” She’s just trying to understand.

My contrarian view is that journalists should not put on air guests they know to be drunk or otherwise in the midst of an episode. Which everyone has known for many hours now. https://t.co/QfXGH5mmq8

We’d bet good money he’s already booked on at least three morning shows.

totally irresponsible of CNN to put this guy on air suspecting that he's been drinking. Good job, being assholes. https://t.co/ghVELlTCCT

Then she is responsible for putting an impaired person on air. How would she be able to justify her culpability if she didn't act to stop him from driving. how is she different than forced behavior on an impaired person (decision-making ability). Interview should ceased. https://t.co/FkUYSYHhZt

@CNN : Hey let's find someone who's eating anti depressants and drunk!
