Carl Bernstein: ‘Appropriate’ for Media to Address Trump’s Stability and Fitness for Office – Mediaite

One of the legendary journalists who helped uncover the Watergate scandal explained today that President Donald Trumps mental fitness and stability are important parts of the story when it comes to a possible coverup regarding Trump/Russia collusion. At the same time, he acknowledged that these subjects are extremely difficult for reporters to cover.

Appearing on CNNs Reliable Sources this morning, political analyst and Washington Post veteran Carl Bernstein pointed out that we are now hearing conservative commentators questioning the stability of Trump, noting that this is unheard of. He went on to say why this is so important right now.

Republicans on Capitol Hill, the Republicans during Watergate were heroic, he told host Brian Stelter. They are the ones who said, What did the president know and when did he know it? They investigated and investigated and voted for his impeachment because they were willing to see the truth served.

Stating that we have yet to see GOPers on the Hill go this far yet, Bernstein pointed out that privately, they doubt the presidents stability and fitness for office.

Donald Trump is a president with whom there is a grave question about his fitness and ability to conduct the office of the presidency, the iconic reporter said. Thats going hand in hand with the possible coverup into collusion with a foreign power.

Stelter highlighted that the Post this morning put a quote from an anonymous source close to the White House on its front page in which the person said the president is in the grip of some kind of paranoid delusion.

It is an anonymous quote on the front page of the Washington Post, Stelter asked Bernstein. Is that appropriate, Carl?

Bernstein responded by saying it was not only appropriate but that its part of the story and its very hard to cover. He concluded his point by discussing Trumps tweeting habits.

Its a different dynamic than we have ever had to deal with before, he noted. But the tweets that the President of the United States has been making are a roadmap of his mind. And that roadmap takes some very crooked corners.

Over the past couple of months, Bernstein has claimed that there is a serious belief by the FBI that theres an active coverup going on to hide Trump/Russia connections and that Trump is impeding the investigation. Hes also said that Trumps lying makes him the most dangerous enemy of the people.
