George Clooney calls Hunter Biden's rant about op-ed 'outright lies,' Kamala Harris' presidential bid 'a mistake'
"Obama didnt put me up to it, it wasnt my fundraiser," Clooney says.
By Shania Russell
George Clooney is slamming Hunter Biden for voicing "outright lies" in his expletive-filled rant attacking the actor for his 2024 presidential election op-ed.
Earlier this year, Hunter made headlines for angrily calling out Clooney's New York Times op-ed titled, "I Love Joe Biden, but We Need a New Nominee," which called for his father Joe Biden to drop out of last year's presidential race. Hunter defended his dad and directed a "f--- you" at Clooney several times in an interview published roughly a year after the consequential essay.

Elsewhere in the conversation, Clooney shared his thoughts on the decision to appoint Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee, pointing out that he suggested an open primary in his 2024 op-ed.
"I think the mistake with it being Kamala is she had to run against her own record," Clooney explained. "Its very hard to do if the point of running is to say, 'I'm not that person.' Its hard to do, and so she was given a very tough task. I think it was a mistake, quite honestly. But, we are where we are. We were gonna lose more House seats, they say. So, I dont know."

F*** George Wilkes Clooney. He should go back to his villa in Italy and shut up.

OP
I don't think Clooney is wrong here, but see little point in these recriminations, from him or Hunter.

George Clooney is the personification of what is perceived as the worst notions of a Democrat.

Hunter Biden does not need to shut up. It is not making things worse. Not much can make things worse.

Democratic infighting? Now? We're trying to watch MAGA Repukes tear each other apart. Damn.

It was far too late to have an open primary by the time of Biden's debate disaster.
