Actor and Democrat activist George Clooney recently compared Joe Biden to George Washington for being ‘selfless’ and stepping aside from the 2024 presidential election. Bill Clinton made the same comparison at the Democratic National Convention. It’s all so tiresome.
Joe Biden did not step down due to some sense of higher purpose or integrity. He was forced out of the race by Democrat party power-brokers, including George Clooney himself, who wrote a column for the New York Times calling on Biden to drop out.
Do Democrats keep saying this to make themselves feel better about what they did?
FOX News reports:
George Clooney praises Biden stepping aside as ‘most selfless thing’ since George WashingtonActor George Clooney praised President Biden’s decision to leave the 2024 race as “the most selfless thing that anyone’s done since George Washington” on Sunday.In July, Clooney famously penned a New York Times guest essay headlined, “I Love Joe Biden. But We Need a New Nominee,” which admitted Biden had declined and insisting the Democratic Party needed a new candidate to defeat former President Trump. Biden eventually obliged, and Clooney couldn’t be happier.”The person who should be applauded is the president who did the most selfless thing that anyone’s done since George Washington,” Clooney told reporters when asked about the easy, according to the Washington Post.”What should be remembered is the selfless act of someone who — you know, it’s very hard to let go of power. We know that. We’ve seen it all around the world,” Clooney continued. “And for someone to say, ‘I think there’s a better way forward.’ All the credit goes to him … And all the rest of it will be long gone and forgotten.”Clooney, who spoke to the press at the Venice Film Festival where his new film “Wolfs” premiered on Sunday night, did not mention Vice President Kamala Harris during his remarks, according to the Post.

Nick Arama of RedState commented on this:
George Clooney, who wrote a pivotal op-ed about Biden being in bad condition and urging Biden to step aside from the election, is speaking out. What he has to say shows just how much they think they can put one over on the American voters.According to him, we should all just forget about the “machinations” behind the move…No, sorry, we won’t forget and neither will history. Clooney admitted Biden was in bad condition at the fundraiser, but then didn’t write the op-ed until after Biden flamed out at the debate and his condition couldn’t be argued away anymore. So that tells you right there everything you need to know about him and anything he has to say.Comparing him to George Washington takes some nerve. George Washington stepped aside voluntarily. He wasn’t threatened by Democratic Party bigwigs in an apparent coup to shove him out. This is just straight-up propaganda, to make it all sound and look better.
If Democrats get away with this switcheroo, what are the odds that they’ll do something like this again? Will Democrat primary elections become obsolete?
