Hunter Biden Slams George Clooney Over Op-Ed That Derailed Joe Biden’s 2024 Campaign

Hollywood heavyweight George Clooney finds himself in the crosshairs of Hunter Biden's fiery criticism, following the actor's influential op-ed that contributed to President Joe Biden's exit from the 2024 presidential race. Hunter, the former president's son, didn’t hold back, unleashing a barrage of expletives and personal jabs at Clooney during recent podcast appearances.

Hunter, 55, accused Clooney, 64, of betraying his father by publicly urging him to step aside as the Democratic nominee. In a scathing rant on the At Our Table podcast, Hunter dismissed Clooney’s relevance in political matters, questioning why an actor should wield such influence over a man who has dedicated over five decades to public service. "Why do I have to listen to you?" he challenged, referencing Clooney's New York Times piece that painted a grim picture of Biden’s debate performance and overall vitality.

The tension reportedly dates back to a pre-election event where Hunter claims Clooney acted aloof, barely engaging with attendees except for a brief exchange with former President Barack Obama. Hunter even recounted whispering frustrations to his father during the event, revealing deep-seated resentment over Clooney’s alleged arrogance and refusal to acknowledge Biden’s stature.

In a separate podcast with Andrew Callaghan, Hunter’s anger escalated into a full-blown tirade, accusing Clooney of sabotaging his father’s re-election with the supposed backing of Obama’s inner circle. He went as far as to echo filmmaker Quentin Tarantino’s harsh critique, branding Clooney as more of a 'brand' than a true actor. Meanwhile, Clooney has remained silent, offering no public response to the onslaught.

The actor’s op-ed, published shortly after Biden’s faltering debate performance, struck a nerve by suggesting the Joe Biden of 2024 was a far cry from the dynamic leader of years past. Clooney later defended his stance as a 'civic duty,' emphasizing the need for honesty within his party. Yet, Hunter sees it as a personal attack, accusing Clooney of spreading falsehoods about his father’s mental sharpness.

Adding another layer to the drama, Clooney’s personal life has come under scrutiny amidst broader political tensions. His wife, Amal Clooney, a renowned human rights lawyer, has been linked to legal actions involving Israeli officials, raising questions about potential repercussions under new U.S. policies targeting international court actions. While this subplot simmers, the core clash between Hunter Biden and George Clooney remains a stark reminder of how personal and political grievances can collide in the public eye.
