The aftermath of Kamala Harris’ epic electoral faceplant against Donald Trump has resulted in a classic case of leftist finger-pointing, and the blame game has reached the upper crust of the Democratic Party. George Clooney, the high-profile Hollywood actor and staunch Democrat, is reportedly livid at none other than former President Barack Obama. According to sources, Clooney feels he was used as a political “patsy” to nudge Biden toward an early exit from the 2024 race, only to be left in the cold once the fallout occurred. Sounds like a plot twist straight out of a Hollywood drama, but this is real life on the Left.
Back in July, Clooney seemed to be in charge of the Democratic Party’s rescue mission after Biden’s catastrophic debate performance against Trump. In a written tirade for the New York Times, he questioned whether the sitting president was actually capable of pulling off a victory in November. He painted a grim picture, asserting that the Biden of today was a shell of the ‘big F-ing deal’ guy from 2010. Clooney even claimed that Biden had become so diminished that he wouldn’t even win a game of chess against his 2020 self. In his op-ed, Clooney went so far as to suggest that if Biden didn’t bow out, the Democrats would be putting the House and Senate in jeopardy—as if they weren’t already on shaky ground.

Once Clooney had placed the call for change—endorsing Harris as the new face of a beleaguered party—it seemed he was operating under the assumption that Obama had his back. Fast forward to post-election time, and Clooney feels more like a college student who took an exam but found out there was no teacher around to grade it. After Harris flopped harder than a Hollywood star in a badly produced sequel, Obama ghosted Clooney, leaving the actor feeling more than just a little betrayed.
The insiders reveal that Clooney is not only furious but determined not to be anyone else’s political punching bag in the future. The elite actor believes he took a bullet for the team, and now he’s watching from the sidelines as the Democratic circus continues with little appreciation for his sacrifice. Apparently, he thinks it’s not too much to ask for Obama to publicly back him up, claiming he did the right thing by speaking out. But that endorsement doesn’t appear to be on the horizon, leaving Clooney feeling like he was just the actor in a B-list movie.
Clooney isn’t the lone wolf howling in the woods. Other prominent Democratic donors are feeling the sting from the Harris campaign flop as well. With donors everywhere getting endless fundraising pleas after pouring over a billion dollars into a doomed campaign, many are starting to question the wisdom of throwing more cash after losing causes. Even a liberal political consultant has conceded that this can’t keep up without eroding trust among the party’s financial backers. While the party’s top-tier figures like Clooney are busy pointing fingers, the average voter is left pondering whether the Democrats have anything substantive to offer.
