Carl Bernstein, the former Washington Post reporter and current CNN political analyst, said on the air Monday that he has heard from sources “very close” to President Joe Biden who say that his poor debate performance last Thursday was not a rarity.
As concerns about the president’s age and fitness for office mount, Bernstein told AC360 anchor Anderson Cooper that his sources “are adamant that what we saw the other night—the Joe Biden we saw—was not a one-off,” and “that there have been fifteen, twenty occasions in the last year, year-and-a-half, when the president has appeared somewhat as he did in that horror show that we witnessed.”
Bernstein explained, without naming names, that the identities of those who have expressed concerns carries weight.
