Hunter Biden Blasts George Clooney for Comments on Father's 2024 Campaign
In a heated response, Hunter Biden criticizes George Clooney after actor's remarks about Joe Biden's campaign.
Hunter Biden has expressed his outrage toward actor George Clooney following Clooney's remarks questioning the mental acuity of President Joe Biden during the 2024 election campaign. In a recent interview with YouTube's Channel 5 hosted by Andrew Callaghan, Hunter accused Clooney of overstating his father's vulnerabilities, claiming that his comments influenced Joe Biden's decision to exit the race.
Clooney, an influential figure within the Democratic party, met Joe Biden at a charity event in Los Angeles in the summer of 2024 and quickly became vocal about his concerns, suggesting Biden should step aside for Vice President Kamala Harris, who was eventually nominated to replace him. Just days after Clooney's public statements, Biden announced his withdrawal from the race, which resulted in a loss to his Republican challenger, Donald Trump.
The actor raised these concerns in a New York Times opinion piece titled "I Love Joe Biden. But We Need a New Nominee,” where he highlighted the president’s poor performance in a debate against Trump. Hunter Biden pointed to external factors, such as a demanding travel schedule and medication for sleep issues, as reasons for his father's perceived lapses during the campaign.
In his Monday interview, Hunter Biden referred to Clooney's observations as an attempt to undermine a sitting president. He used strong language to express his disapproval, questioning the actor's involvement in political matters. Hunter hinted that Clooney's motivations might relate to disagreements over international policies, especially concerning Israel, noting that his wife, Amal Clooney, was involved in legal proceedings against the Israeli prime minister.
Hunter also pushed back against claims that he had a significant role in White House operations during his father's final months in office, stating he had only spent a few days there. Before departing the presidency, Joe Biden had granted Hunter a pardon related to past legal issues, including felony weapon charges and tax evasion. Although past controversies involving Hunter Biden affected the 2020 election narrative, Joe Biden managed to win against Trump then.
In commentary on his father's political retirement, Joe Biden reflected that he had no regrets about withdrawing from the race and downplayed speculation that a different timing could have altered the election result. In light of health challenges, including a prostate cancer diagnosis earlier this year, inquiries into Biden's capacity during his presidency have resurged, continuing to spur discussions in political circles.
