Who thought it’d be a good idea to let this guy advise ANYONE? I really wanna know.
Yesterday, we told you about former Trump campaign advisor Sam Nunberg. He made headlines after saying he wouldn’t comply with Mueller’s subpoena. He even told MSNBC that it would be “really funny” if Mueller tried to arrest him.
The man is completely bonkers. CNN’s Erin Burnett even said she could smell alcohol on his breath.

That man shouldn’t have been on air. They should’ve pulled him off. Clearly, he’s in the middle of some sort of breakdown. It’s obvious.
totally irresponsible of CNN to put this guy on air suspecting that he's been drinking. Good job, being assholes. https://t.co/ghVELlTCCT

Why is CNN interviewing someone who's been drinking? https://t.co/MD0JN1exTK

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

Everyone noticed. He even admitted to drinking. Breitbart has the details:
In a Fox Business recap of the Nunberg saga, Charlie Gasparino claimed that, as an old acquaintance of Nunberg’s, he did not “want to be doing this story right now,” adding later that he did not feel it was his “professional obligation” as a reporter to “blow this guy up.”
“When he told me this stuff, that he wanted to go public with it, that he wanted me to break it, I asked him three times whether he was sure and is he of sound mind to do this, because I didn’t think he was,” Gasparino related to Fox Business colleague Liz Claman. “He told me he was drinking. … I just watched him on MSNBC and CNN, and the man needs help.”
“If you’re listening Sam, get help. What I just witnessed was a trainwreck and I feel bad for the guy,” Gasparino pleaded.
Well, there’s good news. Nunberg is going to comply with the subpoena AND get help.
i spoke to @NunbergSam before he did what he did; im a journalist but also someone who cares about people in trouble and tried to talk him out of going public w this stuff because of his state of mind https://t.co/ph7g6rj0nk

what do u think–see my report from yesterday
— Charles Gasparino (@CGasparino) March 6, 2018
@CGasparino I’m simply curious and not a journalist so I don’t know how this works. If you knew he was drinking why didn’t you warn the other nets?

At least he’s getting help. Clearly, he needs it.
