Hollywood’s liberal elite just turned on their own — and it’s sending shockwaves through the Democrat Party.
Oscar-winning actor George Clooney, one of Hollywood’s most recognizable stars, is now admitting what millions of Americans have known for years: Democrats made a massive mistake by choosing Kamala Harris as their 2024 presidential nominee after Joe Biden’s disastrous exit.
In a no-holds-barred interview with CBS News Sunday Morning, the Ocean’s Eleven star stood by his explosive New York Times op-ed that accused Biden of being too mentally “diminished” to defeat President Donald J. Trump.
“I wanted us to have an actual primary,” Clooney explained. “We needed to test the candidates fast and get the process moving.”
But then came the line that left Washington insiders gasping.
“I believe the problem with choosing Kamala was that she ended up having to distance herself from her own record,” Clooney remarked. “When your campaign message is essentially, ‘I’m different from who I’ve been,’ that’s an almost impossible position to defend — and frankly, it was a misstep.”
Clooney’s words echo what conservative Americans have been warning about for years — that Kamala Harris simply cannot defend the failures of the Biden era. From the border crisis to the economy, Harris has been forced to carry the baggage of an administration seen as weak, confused, and out of touch.
Clooney Confirms Biden’s Mental Decline
Clooney’s remarks followed his Times column from July 2024, where he admitted Biden appeared “feeble” and “confused” even at a private Los Angeles fundraiser that Clooney himself co-hosted. According to CNN’s Jake Tapper and journalist Alex Thompson in their book Original Sin, Biden didn’t even recognize Clooney — despite knowing him for over 20 years.
After Biden’s humiliating debate loss to Trump, Clooney urged Democrats to stage an open mini-primary featuring Harris, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and Maryland Gov. Wes Moore. But instead, party insiders coronated Harris overnight, cutting off any chance for a fair contest.
“We are where we are,” Clooney said, almost shrugging at the mess his own party created.
He added that Biden at least deserved some credit for stepping down, calling it a “selfless act.”
“It’s very hard to let go of power,” Clooney admitted. “For someone to say, ‘I think there’s a better way forward,’ all the credit goes to him.”
Hunter Biden Explodes With Profanity
Not everyone in the Biden family was as gracious. Hunter Biden lashed out at Clooney in a profanity-filled rant that stunned even liberal media hosts.
“F—k him and everybody around him,” Hunter raged. “George Clooney is not a f—king actor — he’s a brand. Why do I have to f—king listen to you?”
The meltdown only deepened the impression of a Democrat Party in total disarray — fighting among themselves while President Trump surges ahead in national polls.
A Party in Chaos
Clooney’s rare honesty exposes what Hollywood and the mainstream media have tried to hide: Kamala Harris was never ready for prime time. Her poll numbers are sinking, donations are drying up, and even her own party’s biggest celebrities are starting to abandon ship.
The same Democrats who spent years lecturing Americans about “unity” are now publicly eating their own — and Donald Trump is the one smiling.
