It seems actor George Clooney is still facing backlash for advocating that President Joe Biden drop out of the 2024 presidential election months before U.S. citizens were set to cast their ballots. But a recent comment from an alleged insider suggests that the “Wolfs” star wants to drag his friend, former President Barack Obama, into the controversy with him.
RadarOnline reported this week that its supposed unnamed source claims it was Obama who urged Clooney to publicly call for Biden to step aside and hand the reins over to Vice President Kamala Harris.
Radar reported that the unnamed tipster said, “George is furious with Obama for disappearing after the election disaster and leaving him holding the bag for pushing the plan with his Hollywood pal.”
“Obama and Clooney have been tight for years,” the outlet reports it was told by the anonymous mouthpiece. “And George became Barack’s surrogate in leading the charge for Joe to step away. Barack knew he would look like a traitor if he publicly called for Joe to be cut loose. And now, he’s trying to walk away from it all.”
n July Clooney wrote a scathing op-ed in The New York Times where he expressed his love and support for the president but strongly urged him to abandon his campaign for the country’s sake after a disastrous performance in the first presidential debate.
“We are not going to win in November with this president,” he said in the piece, suggesting several alternatives. He even addressed concerns about shifting gears.
“All of the scary stories that we’re being told about what would happen next are simply not true. In all likelihood, the money in the Biden-Harris coffers could go to help elect the presidential ticket and other Democrats,” he wrote, offering, “The new nominee wouldn’t be left off ballots in Ohio. We Democrats have a very exciting bench. We don’t anoint leaders or fall sway to a cult of personality; we vote for a president.”
But now that the “cult of personality” actually hurt the replacement candidate, Vice President Harris, who is widely regarded as one of the most qualified to ever run for the top office, Clooney has become the target of many jokes from low-information commenters and trolls.
On social media, some even blamed him for the devastating loss: “It’s all George Clooney’s fault!”
“George feels duped and vows he’s not going to be anyone’s political water boy anymore,” Radar also reported its alleged insider said.

Circus monkeys thinking they are more important than they are.....It’s a big club and George wasn’t in it.
That said.....I’m glad that even his true believers are beginning to see what a giant piece of garbage Obama truly is.
Obama is nothing but one more shuck and jive ghetto BS artist with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
Hopefully he keeps it up and alienates so many people he goes down in history as one of the biggest frauds of all time.
