George Clooney’s recent foray into political commentary has unveiled a glaring hypocrisy within the Democratic Party, as he weighs in on the apparent behind-the-scenes efforts to push Joe Biden out of the 2024 presidential race. Clooney showcased his selective memory regarding the democratic process, seemingly oblivious to the millions of primary votes cast for candidates other than Kamala Harris. Instead of acknowledging the mountains of evidence suggesting Biden’s cognitive decline, Clooney appears more interested in polishing the party’s tarnished image, while ignoring the real concerns of the American public.
The reality is that Biden’s plummeting approval ratings following a disastrous debate have prompted a frantic scramble among Democrats to reshape their leadership narrative. While Harris, with her zero primary votes, is suddenly elevated to be the face of a party in crisis, the Democrats exhibit a profound disregard for the electoral process they so fervently claim to champion. Instead of addressing Biden’s evident struggles, they seem poised to jettison him in favor of a fresh face, all in the name of political survival.
Clooney’s op-ed seems to cast Biden’s potential departure in a heroic light, suggesting that his willingness to ‘step aside’ is akin to George Washington’s voluntary relinquishment of power. However, this comparison falls flat when considering that Washington stepped down voluntarily, without pressure from party elites orchestrating a last-minute coup. Clooney’s attempt to frame Biden as a selfless leader is nothing less than a caricature of historical reality, designed to distract from the actual motives and machinations of a party that fears losing.

The notion of a “selfless act” from a sitting president who remains in office despite concerning mental acuity is enough to raise eyebrows. Clooney’s assertion that all criticisms regarding Biden’s condition should be forgotten is laughable at best. The Democrats have shown a clear willingness to ignore glaring issues as long as it serves their electoral ambitions, proving once and for all that the party is more interested in power than the welfare of the nation.
The situation borders on absurdity, with former President Trump’s anticipated victory looming large over these political games. The Democratic Party’s calculated maneuvers, portrayed through Clooney’s op-ed as noble, are nothing short of desperation in the face of inevitable defeat. As history marches on, it will remember the lengths to which the Democrats went to prop up a faltering Biden administration while disregarding the very principles of democracy they claim to uphold. Irony runs deep when one considers how such tactics may ultimately pave the way for Trump’s triumphant return to the White House.
