According to Fox News, George Clooney’s world tilted when Joe Biden blanked him at a 2024 fundraiser. The Hollywood star, a longtime Biden ally, was left reeling by the former president’s failure to recognize him. It’s not every day a celebrity gets snubbed by a friend of 15 years.
Clooney, shaken at the star-packed event, saw Biden’s decline up close, prompting his public push for Biden to exit the 2024 race. This bombshell comes from “Original Sin,” a new book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson. The incident, detailed in a New Yorker excerpt, paints a grim picture of Biden’s fading faculties.
Back in December 2022, Clooney saw Biden at a Kennedy Center Honors event. Biden seemed older but sharp, even playful. Fast forward to 2024, and the contrast was stark—Biden appeared a decade older, barely shuffling along.
At the 2024 fundraiser, Clooney, joined by Julia Roberts, noticed Biden’s tiny steps and reliance on an aide’s arm. The former president looked “severely diminished,” a far cry from the vibrant Biden of years past. Woke Hollywood’s golden boy was rattled.
Biden approached Clooney, repeating, “Thank you for being here,” like a broken record. An aide prompted, “You know George,” but Biden only mumbled, “Yeah, yeah.” The blank stare said it all—Biden had no clue who was hosting his fundraiser.
“It was like watching someone who was not alive,” an insider dished. Observers swapped horrified glances, whispering it was “so awful.” Even liberal elites can’t ignore reality when it’s this glaring.
Clooney’s gut churned during the encounter, a knot of dread forming. He’d already flagged Biden’s health to a White House aide months earlier, hearing vague promises about fixing Biden’s wobbly gait. Those fixes didn’t stick. By June 2024, Clooney’s alarm hit a boiling point at another Hollywood fundraiser. Biden’s frailty was undeniable, his mental slide painfully obvious. The left’s denial wasn’t just foolish—it was dangerous.
“It was not O.K.,” an insider told the authors, describing Biden’s delayed recognition as “uncomfortable.” The moment wasn’t just awkward; it was a wake-up call. Clooney, of all people, saw the emperor had no clothes.
In July 2024, Clooney penned a New York Times essay, urging Biden to bow out. “This is about age. Nothing more,” he wrote, slamming Biden’s debate flop against Trump as proof of his unfitness. Actions have consequences, and Clooney wasn’t playing along with the charade.
“The Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe ‘big F-ing deal’ Biden of 2010,” Clooney wrote. He wasn’t even 2020 Biden—just a shell of his former self. Brutal, but honest.
On “60 Minutes” in March, Clooney doubled down, saying, “I was raised to tell the truth.” He called out his party’s “profiles in cowardice” for ignoring Biden’s decline. Finally, a Hollywood star with a spine.
Insiders at the fundraiser noted Biden’s “obvious brain freezes” and “clear signs of a mental slide.” It wasn’t just Clooney’s imagination—everyone saw it. Yet the left’s machine kept spinning fairy tales about Biden’s vigor. Representatives for Clooney, Biden, Tapper, and Thompson stayed mum when Fox News Digital reached out. No surprise there—silence is the go-to when the truth stings. The woke crowd loves preaching accountability, but only for others.
Clooney’s saga underscores a hard lesson: no amount of star power can mask reality forever. Biden’s decline wasn’t just a personal tragedy; it was a national embarrassment. Maybe next time, the elites will listen when the warning signs flash this brightly.
