Hunter Biden has expressed his anger over actor George Clooney's recent comments questioning his father's mental capabilities during the crucial 2024 election period. This outburst followed Clooney's opinion piece in the New York Times that suggested the necessity for new Democratic leadership amid the president's less-than-stellar performance during debates.
During a candid YouTube interview with Andrew Callaghan, Hunter accused Clooney of exaggerating his father's frailty. He suggested that the president's stage performance, which Clooney cited as evidence of cognitive decline, could be attributed to exhaustion from traveling and medications, specifically Ambien used for sleep issues.
The tension between Hunter Biden and Clooney began at an LA fundraising event, where the actor became vocal about his concerns over Joe Biden's viability as a candidate. Just days after Clooney's intervention, President Biden announced his decision to step down, paving the way for Vice-President Kamala Harris to become the Democratic nominee. Ultimately, the election resulted in a victory for Republican Donald Trump.
Clooney's article had praised Biden’s agenda while clearly expressing skepticism regarding his ability to lead effectively into the general election. He noted the apparent cognitive struggles witnessed in Biden's debate performance against Trump.
In the latest interview, Hunter dismissed these claims and launched a vitriolic tirade against Clooney, questioning his authority and suggesting that the actor's motives were influenced by political disagreements over international issues, including U.S.-Israeli relations.
Amidst this bitter exchange, Hunter also refuted claims that he played an active role in White House decision-making during his father's presidency, arguing that he only spent a limited time at the White House in the last two years of the administration.
Additionally, Joe Biden's recent health diagnosis reignited discussions about his fitness for office, particularly following his exit from the campaign. Biden has since stated he does not regret stepping down but acknowledged the ambiguity surrounding how earlier withdrawal might have affected election outcomes.
As the political landscape evolves following President Biden's exit, Hunter Biden's fierce defense of his father's legacy seems to be just the beginning of the continued scrutiny both he and his father could face in the wake of the 2024 election.
