Ok, why do we care who an actor thinks should or shouldn’t be President? Not be an actor? Sure! They have a lot of experience knowing who would be good or bad. But politics? Come on.

[TheRealOne]

I’m still riding for Biden if trumps running doesn’t matter my vote won’t change and Clooney be quiet

[kimberleeulrich]

I like George but I couldn’t care less, he’s an actor not a political strategist.

George Clooney go make a movie or something, and if you don't feel like making a movie, then you should run for president. A few weeks ago you were saying you couldn't stand Trump 🤔. I'm sure they deleted that clip already.

[monooogity]

Sorry I like his movies before now I know Boycott him.

[chrisconger]

Why do I care what this paid pretender thinks?

[toasti]

what makes him any different from a neighbor of friend saying the same thing? Who cares!

[JackycClark]

You can't switch horses mid race .

[francesgarcia]

I don't care what George said for me he is lying.

[calidreamin]

Stay with a tried and true man who has been nothing but fully invested in serving this country! Perfect, no! But he 100% better than the alternative‼️

[LPS-sg]

George Clooney should be ashamed of himself you are Ridiculous

[glenn]

George needs a peacemaker, right now!

[WarH]

George, when you go back to acting and say out of politics. You can’t be that foolish to want that man to run this country again. Why don’t you try to go win an Oscar?

George Clooney might want to throw his hat in the ring. Don't put this all on Biden's shoulders.

[tedspens]

I'm voting BLUE no matter who. Clooney may be right, I honestly don't know. But I'm voting for what really matters, maybe the only thing that matters, defeating Donald Trump. I wish Biden was younger but he's not. He's also not Trump. I'm voting blue!

Biden left the 3-day G7 Summit in Italy, which ended on June 15, and flew over to LA to attend that fundraiser on the same day, crossing 9 time zones. Leading up to the Summit there were the Memorial Day activities in France from June 6 to 11, then Biden flew to the US to be with his son on June 12, then flew back to Europe for start of the G7 on June 13th. Who wouldn't be bloody exhausted after all of that?! Then, to top it off, Biden underwent several days of gruelling preparation for the debate. So yes the Biden you saw at the fundraiser, George, was the one we all saw on debate night...an exhausted Biden.

[grizzlyfan]

I'm a lifelong democrat and i'm still riding with Biden

[DARKEMERALDFLAME]

I simply cannot believe that voters have been put in this position.

I'd vote for Howdy Doody, however, to make that traitor go away.

BLUE NO MATTER WHO

[jccarriere]

Yes, President Biden is a normal 81 year old grandfather!

[onenote]

All things aside, why are people listening to a retired actor? Who is the alternative candidate who can kick Trump under a bus? Make a suggestion or shut up and let the current candidate do what needs to be done. The alternative is to let the Supreme Court crown God-Emperor Trump.
