Actor George Clooney admitted in an interview Thursday that the media failed to report on former President Biden's fitness and service abilities.
Clooney told Maureen Dowd of the New York Times that Biden was irresponsible to cover up his “insufficient” and added that “in many respects the media dropped the ball.”
Reacting the moment former President Obama led Biden off the stage with a Los Angeles fundraiser in June, Clooney said, “I saw him for hours at the Kennedy Center, and I saw someone who wasn't that sharp.” He spoke.
Dowd writes that the experience left Clooney “gobsmack.”
“I've always liked Joe Biden, and I still like him,” he added.
Clooney also reflected why President Donald Trump won the election, pointing to Biden's message.
“The Biden administration was terrible to explain that we were in the global economy and were actually doing better than all the other G7 countries. They said the least, to say the least. “I was not good at telling stories because the messenger of the company wasn't working at his best,” he said.
Biden's team did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
The longtime liberal actor has specifically called for former President Biden to drop out in July, following the president's rough debate performance of Trump.
“It's devastating to say that, but Joe Biden, who I was with on a fundraiser three weeks ago, wasn't Joe's 'big F-contract' in 2010. He wasn't even Joe Biden in 2020. He was the same. Clooney focused on the fundraising campaign in Los Angeles in June 2024 in the New York Times guest essay.

After talking to Clooney in Thursday's article, Dowd explained:
Clooney also attacked Trump during the interview.
“I believe I have a general idea that the arc of history is bent towards justice, and I know I don't feel that way right now,” he told Dowd. . “I think there will always be those pendulums. I think the first Trump election was the result of an eight-year black president.”
“The rules aren't counting anymore,” Clooney said of Trump. “It's like having a toddler walk on the 405 highway in the afternoon.”
Clooney also spoke to Dowd about his new Broadway show, “Goodnight and Good Luck.”
