George Clooney recently made headlines with a provocative op-ed calling for President Biden to abandon his 2024 reelection campaign. In an interview with CNN, Clooney expressed that he felt it was his civic responsibility to voice concerns over Biden's physical and mental fitness, particularly following a debate that raised alarm bells about the president's viability against Donald Trump. His remarks ignited significant discussions within Democratic circles and led to Biden's eventual withdrawal from the race shortly after. Clooney acknowledged that while some may still be upset with him, he felt it necessary to speak the truth at a critical moment.
Clooney stated, 'I thought it was time to speak...when I saw people on my side of the street not telling the truth.'
Clooney expressed his feelings on the op-ed, calling it 'civic duty,' and emphasized his frustrations with the status quo in the Democratic Party.
In response to concerns about his op-ed's impact, Clooney mentioned that, 'Some people, sure,' are still mad at him.
Clooney reacted strongly to a connection made on Morning Joe between his op-ed and Obama, stating it infuriated him to suggest Obama had influenced him.
