As Breaking Digest reported Wednesday, Hollywood elite George Clooney wrote an op-ed for the New York Times, in which he publicly called for Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 race.
This criticism was despite the fact that the actor just held a major fundraiser for the Biden campaign, in which he, along with other Hollywood leftists, raised a staggering $28 million for Joe Biden’s re-election campaign.
“…the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe ‘big F-ing deal’ Biden of 2010. He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate,” Clooney wrote, admitting that he was aware of Biden’s cognitive decline prior to the CNN debate debacle.
I’m sure George Clooney fully intends to pay back the $28 million he conned donors into giving Joe Biden, in light of this new revelation.
The Biden campaign’s reaction to this situation is quite laughable. They are actually suggesting that Joe Biden has more stamina than George Clooney, since Clooney left the fundraising event before Biden did.
When this was mentioned on CNN, Jake Tapper even laughed out loud and responded with, “OK.”
The Wrap reported:
Clooney is just one of the many people urging Biden to step down and lift up another Democratic presidential hopeful. Soon enough the White House responded.
“In response to those comments from George Clooney, Jake, a campaign official who attended that Los Angeles fundraiser tells me that George Clooney left three hours before the president. So clearly, the gloves are off, Jake,” Tausche said.
“But what does that mean, that George Clooney left three … what’s the point?” Tapper questioned. Tausche then explained that Biden was insulting the fact that Biden was able to maintain his presence at the fundraiser longer than Clooney could, alluding to the comments people often make about his physical condition.
“The point of that is to suggest that Biden’s stamina is better than Clooney’s and Clooney didn’t have eyes on the entire event. That’s the response to the Clooney op-ed.”
“Ok,” Tapper replied unamused.
Watch:
It must be so strange and disorienting to be the Biden WH and other Dem leaders and watch the same media figures that have defended and praised everything you’ve done for 8 years suddenly turn on you like this, and even express skepticism about your assertions. https://t.co/4WSMMlHxV9

You don’t need to be a big fan of George Clooney to recognize that he could easily outpace Joe Biden. The Biden campaign’s attempts to manage the fallout from his disastrous debate performance have been remarkable to witness, turning a poor performance into a nationwide crisis. It’s clear that despite their prior knowledge about Biden, his team was unprepared for the debate’s outcome and the ensuing backlash, even from ordinarily friendly media outlets.
