Veteran investigative journalist Carl Bernstein said President Trump's son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner, played a key role in convincing the commander in chief to take more serious steps in combating the coronavirus.
The Watergate sleuth told CNN colleague Chris Cuomo on Friday that Kushner, who is leading a coronavirus task force, helped sway the president in March to get serious about the pandemic, along with Drs. Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx, as the number of cases and deaths shot up.
Citing people in the White House, Bernstein said he was told Kushner "had to convince" Trump "to stop being delusional and in denial."

I wonder if Carl has figured out that the, 'I'm with Stupid,' t-shirt Woodward always wore was directed at him?

Berstein wasn't much even back in his younger days. He is now a useless fool, and hasn't done any useful work in decades.
And he is a known liar, inventing things all the time.

So we have Bernstein's word that some anonymous person told him about stuff that no one else witnessed. We don't know if it was Anonymous who saw the event, or if that person was also told about it, or how long the chain really is and where it leads back to, if anywhere.
Bernstein ain't changed much.

Doesn't he and his side kick realize they have discredited themselves over the years for what they didn't do. Their extreme partisan writings showed their true colors and where they were coming from.

Yes! Of course Carl is in close contact with ‘those’ in the White House! Just who would they be? Holdovers on the Maintenance Staff? CB just a fading celebrity seeking a moment of recognition and the Examiner gave it to him!...WHY!

Carl Bernstein ... the Al Bundy of the media (FYI .. Al Bundy, on "Married with Children," often referred to his prowess as a high school football player many, many years before).

Bernstein's buddy cited "sources" too, that being Colin Powell. Liars sourcing other liars.

Loser Leftists keep trying to sell the idea that Trump continually needs rescuing from himself. It's a lie.
I'm sure Kushner has had conversations with Trump and may have provided information and insight. Trump clearly talks to lots of people and incorporates their ideas into his planning. Good leaders do that. The Leftists cannot accept that Trump is a good leader so they assume that others are steering him. They are blinded by their bias and hatred. That's OK. They keep running into walls and it's amusing to us and damaging to them.

Bernstein is the always reliable lap dog for whatever talking points the Democrats and media are pushing
Citing people in the WH, really. What people would those be, the WH press corps. People like Bernstein are pathetic, corrupt losers who want back into the limelight.

Fake news! What Kushner and Trump talk about in confidence is not going to be “leaked” to Bernstein.

al Bundy was a towering intellectual, compared to Bernstein. and I suspect that the story, distorted by Bernstein, might have been something like this, but taken out of context.
The White House King Flu task force (too many white people, remember) had to grapple with the reality of the risk, and Kushner or someone else might very well have said, in that context, 'we can't be in denial or delusional about the potential risk. That would have been a logical statement, in setting parameters of debate.
but one of the snipers, probably an NSC employee, twisted the story for bernswine.

What a steaming pantload THIS is!! Bernstein, who was briefly famous for writing something FORTY SEVEN YEARS AGO, is hardly a good source of what goes on in the Trump White House!! And it wasn't Jared Kushner who closed the borders to China flights in late January, nor was it Jared Kushner who talked about Kung Flu in the State of the Union speech!! Talk about pulling quotes out of your backside!!
