Well, well, well—look who finally decided to admit what the rest of us have been saying for years. George Clooney, Hollywood’s favorite self-appointed political analyst, is now bravely declaring that, oops, the media totally botched its coverage of Joe Biden’s mental fitness. Stunning. Courageous. Only several years too late.
In a sit-down with The New York Times’ Maureen Dowd, Clooney let it slip that Biden was “irresponsible” for covering up his “incapacities” and that the media “dropped the ball.” You don’t say, George. So, all those clips of Biden wandering aimlessly offstage, struggling through sentences, and giving that thousand-yard stare into the void—those weren’t just “cheap right-wing attacks”? Turns out, the man actually is declining before our eyes. Shocking.
Clooney even went so far as to say he was “gobsmacked” watching former President Obama literally lead Biden off the stage at a June fundraiser in Los Angeles. That’s quite a visual, isn’t it? The real leader of the Democratic Party guiding his successor away like a lost grandpa at the mall. But Clooney isn’t mad at Obama or the Democratic Party for forcing this charade onto the American people—no, he blames the Biden team for not “explaining” how great the economy is.
That’s right, folks. It’s not that inflation crushed the middle class, that gas prices skyrocketed, or that people are struggling to afford homes. No, no—the real problem was Biden’s “messaging.” Maybe if they had just put together a snappier TikTok campaign, we’d all be living in paradise.

This is the same George Clooney who, just a few months ago, penned an op-ed calling for Biden to step aside. Back then, it was a devastating realization. Now, it’s an “I told you so” moment. But here’s the kicker—Clooney swears he went rogue with this whole thing. Despite whispers that Obama was nudging Biden toward the exit, Clooney insists, nope, he did this all on his own. Sure, George. Just like every other major Democratic donor, strategist, and media figure suddenly “realizing” Biden’s not up for the job—all completely independently, of course.

Naturally, Clooney couldn’t get through the interview without taking a few swings at Donald Trump. He says Trump’s presidency was nothing more than a backlash to America having a Black president for eight years. Because, you know, working-class Americans struggling under Obama’s policies didn’t matter—no, the only reason they turned to Trump was good old-fashioned racism. What a convenient way to ignore the actual issues that got Trump elected.
And then there’s the pièce de résistance—Clooney, in all his infinite wisdom, compared Trump to an “infant walking across the 405 freeway.” The irony is almost too much. Here we have a man lamenting the media’s failure to be honest about Biden’s decline, and in the very same breath, he’s peddling the same tired hysteria about Trump. No rules count anymore, Clooney says. Well, no kidding—his own party is trying to swap out their nominee after securing the nomination. But sure, Trump’s the reckless one.
This interview isn’t about honesty or accountability. It’s about damage control. The Democratic elite, Hollywood included, see the writing on the wall. The media carried Biden across the finish line in 2020, but they know they can’t do it again. So now it’s time to pretend they were just as fooled as the rest of us. But no one’s buying it. The only question is, who’s next in line to suddenly “discover” that Joe Biden isn’t fit to be president? Stay tuned.
