George Clooney ‘furious’ at Obama for ‘manipulating him’ into forcing Biden out of election race

Sky News host James Macpherson claims actor George Clooney is reportedly “furious” Barack Obama used him to force President Joe Biden out of the US election race.

“Clooney’s newspaper article, calling for Biden to stand aside for Kamala Harris, was widely credited for changing the course of the election,” he said.

“Clooney is now complaining that Obama who sort of manipulated him into doing the dirty work on his behalf has left him to take most of the blame for the election loss.”

Clooney doesn’t seem to be very bright.

Who is George Clooney to be asking Biden to step aside? A rich actor is asked to do this? Who was runner-up for this job, Oprah? DiNiro? Ellen? Jake Tapper?

Celebrities need to wake up and realize no one respects their opinions anymore. Celebs need us not the other way around

[Bob-mnob]

Clooney has destroyed what little respect Americans had for him.

Clooney and Kimmel look and sound like idiots now.

Who cares what George Clooney thinks. He needs to get over himself

[Zona-dwrp]

You can't think for yourself, Clooney?

[bilson]

The first mistake Clooney made was getting involved in politics.

[traceyesparza]

Why is Clooney involved in the Presidential election and deciding who the nominee should be?!

[karenkershaw]

Was it worth ruining your career George? Sucks to be you!

Hey Clooney, that's why American voted like it did, where all tired of being manipulated.

"He manipulated me!" This lack of accountability and self-reflection is why they continue to lose.

[hker]

Hey blame yourself. You are not a kid.

Do you recall a year or so ago (maybe longer?) when AOC and her friends were being gently asked by a police officer to move off the road (during a protest), and stand on the nearby grassy area instead?

AOC and her some of her "squad" looked around and saw cameras. They all quickly held their hands behind their backs, as if being handcuffed.

Photos were out the next day, showing AOC and her crew with their arms behind their backs, grim expressions on their faces, seemingly handcuffed.

Ultimately though, the camera angles of other film and photos, plus the police officer not even touching them, betrayed the ruse.

They were clearly faking, and they were never handcuffed at all.

I guess they were hoping for a good media moment pose though. It didn't work.

This story should surface again if AOC decides to run for office in the future.

He's an adult and made his own choices. He's not a victim.

[oliphauntsneverlie]

That moment when Clooney found out he was nothing but a useful idiot! 🤣

[drpepper]

How does Clooney have that much power over JB?

[ngarenestevens]

It was Georges vanity that manipulated himself.

[mbrown]

Damage control for Clooney. He didn't do this for free though

Hollywood needs to learn that most people dont care what they have to say. Glad I stopped watching movies and tv. I wont support that crowd ever again.
