George Clooney has once again demonstrated his remarkable ability to alienate millions of Americans, this time through his participation in a cringe-worthy ad promoting none other than Vice President Kamala Harris. The Hollywood elite, who evidently think they know what’s best for the rest of America, are pushing a message so unsettling that it makes one wonder how disconnected they truly are. This ad turns the notion of loyalty—and frankly, masculinity—on its head, suggesting that men should deceive their families and friends about their voting choices, all in the name of political allegiance.
Clooney’s previous betrayal of President Biden—after a lavish fundraiser on his behalf—is hardly a surprise. His op-ed that preceded the 2024 election campaign calling for the president to step aside only cemented the idea that Clooney’s loyalty lies solely with opportunism. Now, he has decided to double down on this theme of deceit by not only pitching for Kamala but also by embodying an archetype of modern masculinity that seems to mock the values held dear by many American men.
George Clooney makes ad encouraging men to hide their Harris vote from friends
"Real men" don't need to lie to their friends.
We The People stand up for our beliefs.

The visuals in this latest venture are nothing short of bizarre: portraying two men exchanging soft smiles and secretive glances while casting their votes. This isn’t merely an awkward depiction; it feels more like a poorly executed romcom than a genuine appeal to American voters. Real men, the kind who embody values of integrity and honor, certainly don’t express camaraderie in this overly sentimental—and frankly uncomfortable—manner. A firm handshake and honest conversation are far more indicative of respect than the butt-slapping antics suggested in this ad.
Even more alarming is the broader implication of this campaign strategy. By suggesting that dishonesty is the new norm for men, Clooney and the Harris camp are pushing a narrative that flies in the face of personal principles. It raises a pressing question: Is this how Democrats envision a new definition of masculinity? If so, they are sorely out of touch with what it means to stand up for one’s beliefs. The real challenge lies not in lying about one’s political choices but in upholding one’s values with sincerity and courage, qualities that seem to be in short supply among Hollywood personalities.
This desperate attempt by the Democrats to reshape public perception, especially among men, has missed the mark horrifically. No one wants a model of masculinity defined by deceit and superficial gestures. The real warriors of our society—be it the veterans who have defended freedom or the everyday fathers providing for their families—know that true strength lies in honesty, hard work, and an unwavering commitment to one’s principles. There is no room for the kind of pandering that Clooney and his Hollywood pals are engaging in when it comes to the essential question of what it means to be a man in America today.
In the end, this effort by Clooney and the Harris team may resonate with a niche audience in liberal enclaves but will likely be met with scorn by the millions of Americans who hold traditional values dear. The pretentiousness of such celebrity endorsements only serves to reinforce the divide between the Hollywood elite and the everyday American. The campaign’s wrongheaded approach to defining masculinity is not just a misstep; it’s an alarming indication of the disconnect between the left and the heart of America.
