The gloves are out between George Clooney It is President Biden — from those of us concerned about the marketing campaign, we’re taking another shot at Clooney over the Hollywood fundraiser the actor co-hosted… saying he was anything but accommodating to the POTUS.
As you recognize, Clooney took the lead shot along with his NYT op-ed on Wednesday, saying Biden can’t win the election and called on him to drop out of the race. In the letter, Clooney referenced last month’s record-breaking fundraising, saying… “The Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fundraiser was not the ‘big F-ing deal’ Joe Biden of 2010. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.”
Now… a source close to the Biden campaign, who is deeply aware of the Hollywood fundraising planning, is dismissing Clooney’s review and pointing the finger directly at him.
We’re told the event took months to plan, and during that process, Clooney left the Biden campaign with only one possible date for it to take place… June 15. The Biden campaign made it clear that this wasn’t a good date, because Biden was attending the G7 Summit in Italy on the 14th, but we’re told Clooney wouldn’t budge.
After all, the Biden team didn’t want to miss out on the chance to have a fundraiser headlined by Clooney, so they agreed. Because of this, Biden had to take a 13-hour flight from Italy to Los Angeles on the same day of the event.
Financially, the occasion turned out to be a resounding success… TMZ broke the story, the marketing campaign raised US$28 million going to the fundraiser, making it the single largest Democratic fundraiser in U.S. history.
As for Clooney’s statement that Biden was no longer the same individual he was used to seeing… we’re told the president’s grueling schedule — to meet Clooney’s demands — may have had something to do with it.
We reached out to Biden’s marketing campaign, who referred us the letter the president sent to Democrats in Congress earlier this week… saying he has no intention of withdrawing from the election.
