I saw this tweet go by in my main Twitter timeline and did a serious double take. I knew Ed Schultz had been working for Russia Today after losing his MSNBC show, but I didn’t realize how deeply he’d gone into the RT mindset.

The #Clinton campaign continues to manufacture news to vilify #DonaldTrump and connect him to Putin in order to win the election.

And there’s a video to go along with this, in which Schultz looks like he’s coming off a four-day bender.

The media hysteria is amazing. CNN claims #DonaldTrump is ‘unpatriotic’ for doing an interview on @RT_America. pic.twitter.com/E96RPsCXjh

I was never a huge fan of Ed Schultz, to be honest — the self-styled “Glenn Beck of the left” who once advised his Democratic viewers not to vote in the midterm elections. But this really took me aback.
