Carl Bernstein claims Biden White House insiders have told him that the president's visibly ailing health at the first debate Thursday has been seen on numerous occasions in the past 18 months.
The torturous 90-minute debate saw the president frequently lose his train of thought, trail off mid-sentence and mix up topics, prompting a cacophony of calls from politicians and pundits for the 81-year-old to step down.
The performance has sparked an unprecedented panic in the party, leading many to wonder if Biden, 81, should drop out or even resign.
Bernstein, 80, is a longtime journalistic icon in Washington, having broken the Watergate scandal that took down Richard Nixon 50 years ago.
While he told Anderson Cooper Biden was 'at his absolute best' during his brief speech in response to the Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, his advisors and staffers who love and admire the president say 'in the last six months, particularly, there has been a marked incidents of cognitive decline and physical infirmity.'
In an interview Monday, Bernstein confessed to multiple sources telling him that Biden's looked very similar to the way he did Thursday night at least 15 to 20 times in the past year and a half.
'[My sources] are adamant that what we saw the other night—the Joe Biden we saw— is not a one-off,' he told Anderson Cooper.
Bernstein said that many have gone as far as ex-White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain - who took heat for his performance in preparing Biden for the debate from his family and advisors - with their concerns over the president's health.
'They have all gone to Ron Klain in the past year to say 'we have a problem' such as we saw the other night.'

They were two lazy-ass left-wing “journalists” (is that redundant?) who happily received information fed to them like Pablum.

I disagree.... and may I strongly recommend the book ‘Silent Coup’ as a start to get a much better picture of what went on. I have zero doubt that Woodward and Bernstein were not acting as ‘reporters’ at all in this sad chapter of American history... https://www.watergate.com/
Watergate was complete BS manufactured by the democrat filth of the time.
Ask not what I can do for my country.
Ask what my country can do for me and my crime family.
...with apologies to President Kennedy.
Again and again...
The necessary follow-up question is...
How can this man be President of the United States of America, right now?
We are in grave danger!
I’ve noticed that there are many elder care experts around here. With no medical training at all we were able to diagnose Joe’s problem four years ago.
Investigative Reporter?
LOL
Bernstein is no longer an investigative reporter if he has to be told that biden has been demented for the past 18 months.

Carl needs to read Free Republic more; Biden’s mental acuity has been discussed for three years on FR.
Why would anyone love or admire Joe Biden?
Why exactly! Biden is a mean and nasty man.
Interesting. Thank you.
Glad you caught that. It was in jest. The sad part is how predictable things are that I can ask that and not have Woodward/Bernstein disappoint me.
OMG! The just put a fundraising ad for Barry of the dumbo ears and well-trimmed suits on a You Tube video! Have they no decency? Is there no way to stop this obscene display?!
This is “shocking” only if you have been dead for four years.
He had his 15 minutes and has been living on it ever since
He along with the rest of them have known xidens condition and “all of the sudden “ they are shocked to see how bad he is.
Bs
They hoped that xiden would at least have a passable performance, but like no other debate before it, they had it before the nominations were formal and there was time if what happened happened
Leftist lie, project and are hypocrites
B-but he said “I want you to stonewall it, plead the fifth amendment!” and...and...sob...he fired Archibald Cox! If that isn’t a high crime and misdemeanor what is./sarc
Does it bother anybody else that a declining POTUS is also responsible to decide whether to use the “football”?
It wasn’t shocking at all. Lying journalists knew it and simply withheld it from us. Every one of the productive people (e.g. not politicians and journalists) knew the truth. This is why journalism is regarded as almost as sleazy and fit for only the stupid as “studies”.
I’m going to throw out a theory....I think the ‘debate’ was a trial balloon by the cabal behind the scenes to see if the general public can be convinced that they are ok with the concept that the president is really just a representative/figurehead for this ‘amazing support structure’.
Before the 2020 election, Brib’em supposedly campaigned from his basement.... well, we know that we never saw him. Then somehow miraculously, they pulled off the steal and as Maobama told Stephen Colbert right after the election, that “I used to say if I can make an arrangement where I had a stand-in or front-man or front-woman and they had an earpiece in and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff and I could sort of deliver the lines while someone was doing all the talking and ceremony, I’d be fine with that because I found the work fascinating,” Obama quipped. https://deadline.com/2020/11/barack-obama-stephen-colbert-president-third-term-1234635491/
It was known well before the 2020 election that Brib’em had dementia but the family went along with the idea that the Maobama cabal would look after him well and just use him as a ‘figurehead’.
The problem of course is this issue of personal appearances... not all appearances can be done with masks. I think that when the cabal pushed Brib’em out to do the debate, they of course had to already know what was going too happen.... so why did they do it? There might be three separate answers to that question....
1. If Joe did ok, the cabal could carry on with him as the figurehead.
2. If Joe was outrageously horrible, since the ‘debate’ was June, they still have some time albeit short to replace him.
3. If Joe was outrageously bad but they can convince the great unwashed that he is good enough (and better than that unbelievably dangerous alternative) even if he can only function for a few hours a day because of this incredible ‘support system behind him’, then they will keep him as the figurehead.
The way the narrative has shifted in the past few days, I think it is actually number 3 that you are seeing.... see the comments by Maobama on supporting Joe, the statements from all the other DemRatMarxists and even the statements about Pinocchio being only good from 10 to 4.... and then finally, the statement where Joe commented on presidential immunity where ‘he at least follows the law’ etc.
That at least is what this looks like to me....I suspect that instead of the DemRatMarxists running from Joe, we are going to see the narrative shifting to them promoting the image of ‘the kindly grandfatherly type’ whose wisdom and experience they greatly admire.... and don’t worry about the fact that he is only awake a few hours a day, you aren’t really voting for Joe... it’s the Joe and his crowd of support structure that you’d be voting for, in other words the 4th term of Maobama.
No one could truly love a loathsome, lying, little stupid turd as is Pedo Joe. I will cry when my dog dies. I will celebrate when Pedo assumes room temp and hope that I can get a chance to visit his grave and take a bodacious Obama on it.
