After Thursday's disastrous CNN debate, President Joe Biden and the First Lady Jill tried to get ahead of the inevitable backlash, glossing over the debacle with a flurry of soft-ball publicity appearances.
A quick stop off at a debate viewing party held by ardent Biden-loyalists was followed by a midnight visit to an Atlanta Waffle House.
As the President – still looking stunned after his televised humiliation – greeted fellow diners who awkwardly remained seated, Jill swept up to the counter and giggled: 'Order for Biden.'
But, for all her slick attempts to paper over the cracks, what happened next seemed highly revealing of her behind-the-scenes panic.
One of the reporters who had made their way into the Waffle House alongside TV crews asked the President how he thought he'd performed in the debate with Donald Trump.
'I think we did well,' Biden said, before straining a smile as he was hammered with follow-up questions about 'concerns' over his competency.
Then came the blink-and-you-miss-it moment: Just behind Biden, but still in camera shot, Jill glanced across to an otherwise unassuming man, with thinning hair and in a beige suit jacket, who in turn raised his eyebrows and widened his eyes, looking alarmed.
A silent but perhaps telling interaction – for this man was Anthony Bernal, Jill's ever-present and most senior adviser.
Behind White House walls, Jill refers to Bernal, 51, as her 'work husband', with the pair rarely seen apart.
'Bernal is the most powerful person in the East Wing [the First Lady's White House quarters], he has dominion over everything that happens in it, from trips and scheduling to speeches and messaging… he's on senior calls every day,' Jill's biographer Katie Rogers says.
Crucially, Bernal helps 'blueprint' and orchestrate 'how the president looks when [the public] see him...

“NEW via NYT:
Democrat megadonor/Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings calls on Biden to “step aside”
Remember Reed is the one whom threw millions at Bathhouse and Big Mike to produce Netflix Content tripe.
Unelected bureaucrat in charge of the “free world”?
“ Funny how they had his food all sacked up and ready. “
This being strictly a photo op neither one took a bite of the peasant food.
They will all be unemployed soon and unemployable.
Bernal is gay. If he has a husband or boyfriend, and that person is satisfied, then why does he need to worry about other people’s weiners?
I guess that question answers itself.
giggling beard Jill brings her ‘work husband’ and ‘prop husband’ into a public place at midnight...when both are surrounded by staffers who could easily have picked up the to-go order on the QT. What drugs is She on?
While Sleepy Joe is in bed by 4 PM, Jill and Bernal have time for themselves. I get it.
...Anthony Bernal, Jill's ever-present and most senior adviser.
Anthony Bernal - a name to remember.
I’m disgusted to confirm he attended my Alma Mater, Carleton College. His CV claims he “attended” it but gave rather a BA from somewhere TX. Alumni directory listed him as class of ‘95 but didn’t say whether he’d graduated. Prof Paul Wellstone ran all MN college politics from there in my day but it was a wonder tolerant place unless you sought out the trash. I came out the same Reagan voting conservative who’d come in even though the only vote I’d gotten was over Ford. I knew before Ronnie had proved it. Alas the trash networked VERY well. A classmate and my senior floor RA was on Hillary’s Healthcare task force. Happily she was rarely on the floor. Another classmate was big enough on Bill’s staff that Bill’s final Commencement Address as Pres. was there. On my last big reunion every iprogram item was gay this or that. Figured they didn’t want my single straight white company or money so gave neither. But its far left political networking explains why Bernal oddly listed a once highly prestigious school from which he’d apparently bombed out on his CV. Says “I’m in the club”. (This ‘I’ isn’t) And anyone who could conceivably have gotten admitted there had to seem beyond genius to Mrs. ED. Wisdom alas not similarly required.
