The latest portion of Sam Nunbergs media tour consisted of the former Trump aide brushing off everyone whos convinced hes gone off the deep end.
Nunberg has given SIX unhinged interviews today about his refusal to cooperate with Robert Muellers subpoena, his newest interview being with CNNs Erin Burnett. In light of how many explosive, unflattering comments Nunberg made about Donald Trump and his staff, Burnett reached out one of the presidents allies who had this to say about the presidents former aide:
Youre drunk or off your meds.
Nunberg laughed this off, saying I really could care less what the Trump White House has to say about me. He continued to argue that Trump would be in a much better place if he and Roger Stone were still part of the presidents inner circle.
Later in the interview, Burnett decided to straight up ask if Nunberg was impaired in any way during their exchange. Burnett said she smelt alcohol on Nunbergs breath during their exchange (which he denied), and she asked him no, you havent had a drink today?
Nunberg insisted he only took antidepressants today before continuing his attack against former and current members of the Trump team.

Back and forth and back and forth. His Uber driver must have made a fortune.

(46,166 posts)4. That was my take watching the video with Katy Tur earlier this afternoon
He was off in that way that alcohol can affect a person. He certainly wasn't the same sharp guy who had it way more together during Melber's interview of a few weeks ago. Today he was sloppy in presenting his case repeating himself over and over.
He may not have been blotto but I believe he needed a little bit of liquid courage to carry out Stone's request that he perform today. Btw, that's another theory of mine. Nunberg didn't decide to call the press on his own. That had to be Stone all the way. It doesn't appear to have gone as planned.
