Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein claims White House staffers have witnessed as many as 20 examples in which President Biden demonstrated “marked incidents of cognitive decline” in the past 18 months.
Bernstein discussed Biden’s debate performance on Thursday which saw the President often looking bewildered, slurring his words, misstating facts, and losing his train of thought with his “mouth agape.”
He discussed the stunning display with CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, revealing that staffers close to the President say “in the last six months, particularly, there has been a marked incidents of cognitive decline and physical infirmity.”
Bernstein claims aides have witnessed “15, 20 occasions” of cognitive decline in the past year and a half.
“They are adamant that what we saw the other night — the Joe Biden we saw — is not a one-off,” he told Cooper.

Multiple sources tell him that there have been at least 15 occasions in the last year and a half “where the president has appeared like he did at that horror show (his debate performance).”

Biden’s Cognitive Decline Witnessed By Staff For Almost Two Years
The question here is: Why did none of President Biden’s aides warn the American people that his cognitive decline was putting the nation in peril? When did they tell Carl Bernstein this information?
Well, the famed journalist states that Biden’s former White House chief of staff Ron Klain was, in fact, warned multiple times that the President has “lost his train of thought” and “can’t pick it up again.”
He then told Cooper about a fundraiser in which things were so bad that Biden was essentially compared to a corpse.
“There was a fundraiser at which he started at the podium. And then he became very stiff, according to the people there, as if it were almost a kind of rigor mortis,” Bernstein said.
“This was a year ago almost exactly at the old Four Seasons restaurant on Park Avenue. And he became very stiff and a chair had to be brought for him to do the latter part of the event.”

Carl Bernstein Says He’s Back, Baby
Absurdly, Carl Bernstein said that despite the numerous instances of Biden’s cognitive decline, his speech about the Supreme Court immunity case on Monday was the President “at his absolute best.”
Biden though spoke for a mere 4 minutes from a teleprompter, refused to take questions, and appeared to have been ‘bronzed’ by staff to make him look better than he did at the debate.
You may recall our report that aides to the President were upset that he “was made up to look pale and pallid” for the debate.
“I think that what these folks are saying and have been saying for a while is, ‘Yes, he’s great when we see him, as we have tonight,” Bernstein explained. “But he also has these inexplicable moments …”
Of course, Biden’s statement on the Supreme Court was delivered at 7:45 PM, which may explain why he was unable to speak for more than four minutes.
An Axios report earlier in the day says White House staffers have seen the President remaining most functional during the hours of 10 AM and 4 PM.
Son Hunter Biden and First Lady Jill Biden have implored the President to stay in the race, to stay in power, suggesting they have a hand in this administration.
Bernstein says the cognitive decline exhibited by Biden shows the nation is “dealing with two sets of one person.”
“And it really needs to be explored, according to the people I’m talking to,” he said. “And I think an awful lot of major Democrats believe this, including some who have made statements to the contrary. But this is a problem that’s not gonna go away.”
If only there was some sort of award-winning investigative journalist out there who could get on top of this. Or actual media members who aren’t working as de facto publicists for the White House.
