When the Democrats booted Joe Biden and swapped in Kamala Harris in a truly anti-democratic move, it was a truly unprecedented act. It was putting aside the primary choice of the Democratic voters for someone who ended up losing spectacularly.
But one of the people who factored into the drama was actor George Clooney, who wrote an op-ed asking Joe Biden to step aside and said they weren't going to win with Biden. That was after he helped throw a fundraiser for Biden just weeks before. But Clooney didn't say anything about a problem until the op-ed, even though he realized there was a problem during the fundraiser.
Clooney even tried to sell us on how Biden was like the most selfless person since "George Washington" in September.
Then of course it all went south for them, when they got crushed on Nov. 5.

George Clooney Reveals What He Thinks of the 'Machinations' to Get Joe Biden to Step Aside
According to a new report from Radar Online, Clooney "is furious with Obama for disappearing after the election disaster and leaving him holding the bag for pushing the plan with his Hollywood pals," a showbiz insider said.
A "political mole" told Radar it was Barack Obama who asked Clooney to call for Biden to step aside, "fearing fallout if he did it himself."
"Obama and Clooney have been tight for years, and George became Barack's surrogate in leading the charge for Joe to step away", explained the source. "Barack knew he would look like a traitor if he publicly called for Joe to be cut loose. And now, he's trying to walk away from it all.
"George feels duped and vows he's not going to be anyone's political water boy anymore."
Now, Clooney feels like he's taking heat, according to the report, and people are blaming him.
"George feels he stepped up and took a bullet for the team, and now everyone's complaining about the bloodbath", explained the source. "Lots of celebrities, like Beyoncé, were on the campaign trail pumping up Kamala, but George became the face of the Hollywood liberals by directly calling for Biden to end his campaign and throwing the whole process into chaos.
"He thinks Obama should come forward and say that George did the right thing and it isn't his fault that it didn't work out.
"But he doesn't expect that will be forthcoming. and it's left George feeling like a patsy."
Guess what? If this report is true, you are a patsy, George. You believed in Obama and you let yourself get used as cover for him. You learned a lesson about Obama being manipulative, but you're an adult, so you fell for it.
Here's a thought -- maybe you should re-evaluate everything you've been sold, because you're not on the right side in this equation.

There's a lot of blame to go around in Kamala losing but a lot of of it has to fall at the foot of the Democratic elite and, in particular, Barack Obama. They didn't have to run with Kamala Harris and if they'd been straight about Biden's problems and put someone else forward in the primary, they could possibly have had a better candidate.
By then it was too late, and they went with Kamala. Obama didn't help by scolding black men and blaming them for not enough people coming out for Harris. No, you had a lousy candidate. The reason the black men and so many others weren't coming out for her is they had sense; they wanted a better way.
Just like with Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who was also involved in shoving Biden to the side, Obama's influence is likely to take a huge hit, and justifiably so. They played a manipulative game and their candidate lost badly. Now finally, they may suffer some consequence to their own influence--if people finally wake up and no longer listen to them.
