Clooney Does Big Interview With 60 Minutes

George Clooney strutted back into the public eye this week via a red-carpet puff segment on 60 Minutes, trying to sound noble while promoting his Broadway vanity project and fumbling for some sort of moral redemption after tossing Joe Biden under the bus.

Yes, that George Clooney—the same one who just months ago was throwing glitzy fundraisers for “he’s-fine-I-swear” Biden, complete with expensive wine, studio lights, and fake smiles. Back then, Clooney was parading Biden around like a wax figure in a museum, asking the rest of us to pretend the emperor wasn’t wandering around in his pajamas. Fast-forward a few months, and suddenly Saint George finds his moral compass?

Let’s rewind the tape a bit. When Clooney penned his now-infamous New York Times op-ed titled “I Love Joe Biden. But We Need a New Nominee,” it was only after the public had already started noticing the obvious: Biden was in no condition to run for reelection, let alone run a lemonade stand. Conservatives had been saying this for years. But the media, Hollywood, and Clooney’s cocktail-party circuit ignored the signs, labeled it all “misinformation,” and told us everything was fine while Grandpa Joe shuffled from cue card to cue card.

And now, after doing his part to get Biden across the finish line in 2020 and clinging to him well into 2024, Clooney suddenly wants to pretend he was just “telling the truth”? Please. Where was that truth-telling instinct when the entire left-wing machine was gaslighting America into thinking Joe was sharp as ever?

Where was his journalistic integrity when 60 Minutes and every major outlet were cropping videos, editing interviews, and downplaying gaffes? Clooney isn’t some brave truth-teller. He’s the guy who waited until it was politically safe—until the donors had turned, until the DNC had its knives out, until even Pelosi couldn’t spin it anymore—then he stepped in with his pre-approved, focus-group-tested “honesty.”

In his interview, Clooney complained about “cowardice” in his party. Well, that’s rich. It takes a special kind of chutzpah to describe your own calculated betrayal as courage. George may have been raised to tell the truth, but apparently not until it was convenient—or until Kamala Harris was already crashing in the polls. And speaking of Harris, Trump didn’t miss a beat when he lit Clooney up on Truth Social, calling out exactly what the rest of us were thinking: George is a rat jumping from one sinking ship to another. First Biden, then Kamala. Who’s next? Gavin Newsom? Michelle Obama? Pick your fantasy candidate; Clooney’s press agent is already prepping the monologue.

And let’s not overlook the other half of this farce: 60 Minutes. Once the gold standard of investigative journalism, now reduced to running cleanup duty for Democrat operatives and Hollywood elites who need a little image rehab. This wasn’t an interview—it was a glorified PR commercial, all but wrapped in velvet and handed to Clooney with a ribbon. Of course, the same show that reportedly edited Harris’s blunders to avoid another meltdown was more than happy to give George his 12 minutes of redemption. And for what? To make voters forget the role he played in selling them a bill of goods?

Trump didn’t mince words when he posted about Clooney trying to save face. Here’s what he said:

What Clooney and his buddies in media still don’t get is this: Americans remember. They remember being told their eyes were lying to them. They remember being censored, mocked, and shut down for asking questions. And now, these same actors and anchors want to stroll back into the room, admit some of what we knew all along, and expect a round of applause?

Nice try, George. But the standing ovation days are over. You picked your side, you played your role, and now the curtain’s coming down.
