George Clooney “lost it” during a heated moment on Morning Joe when pressed about the op-ed that allegedly “brought down” former President Joe Biden.
The Ocean’s Thirteen star reportedly erupted into a screaming match with an MSNBC producer after co-host Mika Brzezinski implied that former President Barack Obama had encouraged Clooney to write the explosive 2024 op-ed calling on Biden to step aside from the presidential race.
According to a new book, George Clooney, 63, reportedly yelled at an MSNBC producer after a Morning Joe segment aired in 2024.
Brzezinski said on the show: “This wasn’t George Clooney. I think that Barack Obama has a lot of influence.”
The allegation made by the morning show host reportedly left Clooney livid, journalist Chris Whipple claimed in his new book about the Biden campaign — which he shared with Substack The Red Letter.
During a phone call with an MSNBC producer that reportedly lasted several hours, Clooney allegedly yelled: “How the f**k could you let her link me with Barack Obama, saying he made me write the op-ed?”
The Hollywood actor allegedly became even more frustrated when the producer denied any involvement in Brzezinski’s claims.
Clooney referred to the producer as his “friend” but continued to yell: “You f***ed me… You should have stood up for me.”
The producer allegedly responded: “George, this is not a fucking movie. There’s no script.”
Let me know if you want to tighten anything else up or tweak the tone.
After Clooney and the producer went back and forth, the MSNBC employee told the actor they would try to “take care of it” the next day.
Clooney allegedly responded: “This is a morning talk show on a cable channel. Nobody gives a fuck if we say he should get out or he should stay in.”
Over the years, Clooney has made it clear he’s an extremely passionate Democrat, having voiced support during the presidential campaigns of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden.
Following the June 2024 debate between President Trump and Biden, Clooney penned an op-ed for The New York Times a few weeks later, calling for Biden to drop out of the race. He wrote: “We are not going to win in November with this president.
“On top of that, we won’t win the House, and we’re going to lose the Senate. This isn’t only my opinion; this is the opinion of every senator and Congress member and governor that I’ve spoken with in private. Every single one, irrespective of what he or she is saying publicly.”
Let me know if you’d like this tightened up further or adapted for a different tone or outlet.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris ultimately stepped in to run against President Trump during the 2024 presidential election—and lost.
After the humiliating defeat, George Clooney faced heavy backlash from angry liberals who blamed him for Harris’ loss.
Critics took to social media to vent their frustration over Clooney’s perceived negative influence.
One user wrote: “Trump should not forget to thank the Hollywood celebrities. Especially George Clooney.”
Another added: “Someone bring me George Clooney.”
A separate Democrat supporter posted on X: “This is all George Clooney’s fault.”
