Hunter Biden has strongly blasted Hollywood star George Clooney for what he said about President Joe Biden’s mental capacity in a frank and heated interview. Hunter said that Clooney’s comments had a big impact on the older Biden’s decision to get out of the 2024 presidential race.
The younger Biden, in his first major interview since the election, directly questioned Clooney’s judgment and accused him of being part of a media-driven effort to bring down the former president. He also disagreed with what some recent political novels said about President Biden showing signs of cognitive deterioration at important times during his last year in office.
What Did George Clooney Say About Joe Biden?
Clooney had already spoken out about his worries in a widely read opinion piece in which he asked for a new Democratic candidate. He said that Biden’s poor performance in a debate with Donald Trump and a private fundraising event were indicators that his abilities were becoming worse.
After Clooney spoke out, other Democrats voiced similar worries, and in the end, President Biden stood down and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. She would lose the main election to Trump later. Here is the link to our article on Stunning Election Comeback
What did Hunter Biden say?
Hunter Biden was quite upset and said Clooney was being disloyal and taking advantage of the situation. He said that the actor made his father’s condition seem worse than it was and got people talking about it when they shouldn’t have. Hunter asked Clooney why he was talking about presidential issues and what gave him the right to do so in a response full of explicit language.
He said that Biden’s bad debate performance was due to tiredness and the sleep medication he was taking, such as Ambien, not cognitive loss. “They give him Ambien to help him sleep.” “Then he’s on stage looking like a deer in headlights,” he said.
Was Clooney’s Criticism Based on Politics?
The interview suggested that Clooney’s comments may have been affected by policy differences, especially when it comes to the Biden administration’s position on Israel. Hunter mentioned Amal Clooney, George Clooney’s wife, who was active in legal efforts to get the world community to take action against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
President Biden strongly rejected the idea of seeking a warrant for Netanyahu, calling it “outrageous.” This caused problems in liberal circles, including Hollywood. Here is the link to our article on Record Election Turnout
What about the claims that Hunter affected decisions made by the White House?
In the months before Biden left office, news stories said that Hunter Biden was playing an unusually important role in White House meetings. He pushed back, saying that he had only gone to the White House about a dozen times in two years and firmly denied being involved in any policy decisions that were not proper.
He also talked about recent problems, such as his conviction on firearms charges and other legal problems he had in the past. He said that his father had forgiven him before he left office and that anyone who said his personal life affected presidential acts was wrong.
Did Joe Biden Wish He Hadn’t Stopped Running for President in 2024?
President Biden, who later found out he had prostate cancer, said that quitting the race was the proper thing to do. He said in an earlier interview that resigning early would not have impacted the outcome, even though he admitted that Trump lost. He stated, “I don’t think it would have made a difference.”
Final Thoughts
The fight over Hunter Biden, George Clooney, and President Biden’s 2024 campaign shows how politics, celebrities, and the media are becoming more and more connected. Hunter Biden is still a polarizing character. He defends his father’s legacy while also questioning stories told by political allies who have become detractors. As the next election season gets closer, these kinds of events will probably keep affecting what people talk about.
