George Clooney, an ardent supporter of Democrat causes, penned a scathing op-ed piece in The New York Times yesterday calling upon President Biden to abandon his re-election bid mere weeks after hosting a lavish fundraiser for him. This stunning reversal raises questions about the sincerity of these self-proclaimed champions of democracy.
According to Clooney, the Joe Biden he met recently bears little resemblance to the confident leader many once admired:
“It’s devastating to say it, but 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 lamented.
Rather than acknowledging the elephant in the room – namely, concerns over Biden’s fitness for office due to advanced age – Clooney instead chose to deflect criticism towards those unwilling to confront reality:
“Was he tired? Yes. A cold? Maybe. But our party leaders need to stop telling us that 51 million people didn’t see what we just saw. We’re all so terrified by the prospect of a second Trump term that we’ve opted to ignore every warning sign.”
Make no mistake, folks – behind closed doors, even high-profile donors such as Clooney recognize the writing on the wall regarding Biden’s prospects against Donald Trump:
“This is about age. Nothing more. But also nothing that can be reversed. We are not going to win in November with this president.”
Moreover, whispers among influential insiders reveal widespread unease within the Democratic Party hierarchy concerning Biden’s viability:
“This isn’t only my opinion; this is the opinion of every senator and congress member and governor that I’ve spoken with in private. Every single one, irrespective of what he or she is saying publicly.”
As if echoing sentiments shared privately amongst powerbrokers, popular radio host Charlemagne bluntly stated “All I Hear Is Ego” while urging fellow Dems to challenge Biden for nomination during last month’s DNC meeting.
Meanwhile, Clooney implores leading Democrats including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Representatives Hakeem Jeffries & Nancy Pelosi, along with vulnerable incumbent politicians facing tough reelection battles, to coax Biden into stepping aside voluntarily.
