Insanity': Critics Slam CNBC for Asking One 'Pathetic' Question During Undercard GOP Debate

CNBC was slammed by viewers Wednesday for asking candidates at the undercard debate whether they think the day after the Super Bowl should be a national holiday.

"Should day after the Super Bowl be a national holiday?" CNBC asked the candidates.

Almost immediately, the financial news channel was blasted by critics.

CNN political commentator Ben Ferguson called the question a sign of "insanity."

RedState's Erick Erickson echoed Ferguson's remark, writing on Twitter that the question was "pathetic."

Others also chimed in.
