Hollywood liberal George Clooney shocked Democrats last year when he told Joe Biden to quit the presidential race. The actor admitted he wrote his New York Times op-ed because fellow Democrats were lying about Biden’s mental state. Clooney called it his “civic duty” to expose the truth after watching Biden’s disastrous debate performance. His bombshell opinion piece helped push the crumbling president to drop out.
Conservative commentator Dave Rubin blasted CNN’s Jake Tapper for pretending to care about Biden’s decline now. Rubin reminded viewers that Tapper’s network spent years hiding Biden’s cognitive issues from voters. He mocked CNN for suddenly acting shocked while trying to sell Tapper’s new book about the Biden cover-up. “This is liberal hypocrisy at its worst,” Rubin said.
Clooney’s confession proves what conservatives knew all along – Democratic leaders lied to protect their power. While ordinary Americans saw Biden struggling, elites like Clooney stayed silent until it hurt their party. The actor only spoke up when Biden became a liability, not out of real concern for the country. This selfishness shows how coastal elites treat regular voters as fools.
Rubin praised Clooney for accidentally doing the right thing despite his liberal politics. The truth about Biden’s unfitness was too obvious to hide after that trainwreck debate. Even lifelong Democrats couldn’t keep pretending the 81-year-old was sharp enough to lead. Clooney’s op-ed gave cover to other scared liberals to finally admit the truth.
The whole scandal exposes the media’s role in protecting Democratic presidents. Major networks like CNN parroted White House talking points instead of reporting honestly. Now they want credit for “exposing” a crisis they helped create. Conservative voices like Rubin’s remain the only reliable truth-tellers in today’s biased media landscape.
Clooney’s Broadway play ironically deals with journalists fighting government lies. Yet real reporters today act more like Democratic Party cheerleaders than truth-seekers. Rubin noted the sad irony of Clooney playing a heroic journalist while his real-life media allies enable corruption. America needs real watchdogs, not lapdogs for the left.
This saga proves President Trump was right about the “fake news” media. While celebrities like Clooney pretend to care about democracy, they only protect their liberal friends. Regular Americans saw through the lies and voted Trump back into office. The people always know more than the elites give them credit for.
The Biden disaster should be a wake-up call for honest Democrats to break from their party’s radical leadership. But as Rubin warned, most will keep putting power over truth. That’s why conservatives must keep fighting to save America from these corrupt elites. The fate of our republic depends on it.
