George Clooney Calls Biden Dropping Out Most Selfless Act Since George Washington

Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D. 2 Sep 2024

Hollywood actor George Clooney praised President Joe Biden Sunday for his “selfless” act of dropping out of the 2024 presidential race.

Speaking at the Venice Film Festival in northern Italy, Clooney was asked about his July New York Times op-ed in which he urged President Joe Biden to bow out of the election after his disastrous debate performance.

“The person who should be applauded is the president who did the most selfless thing that anyone has done since George Washington, and that’s true” said Clooney, which drew enthusiastic applause from Brad Pitt, who shared the platform with Clooney and co-stars with him in the film Wolfs.

George Washington was forced out of an Election because he was senile?

No "selflessness" involved. He was forced out.

   Chucky and Pelousy finally offered bidet something he could not refuse ($$$/pardons, etc.), they bore the responsibility.  I see a lot of similarities to what transpired as to who caused Nixon to resign.

In 1974, Goldwater and Rhodes told Nixon he was doomed

Three leading Capitol Hill Republicans - Senate Minority Leader Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania, Barry Goldwater of Arizona and House Minority Leader John Rhodes of Arizona - told embattled President Richard Nixon he did not have the support to survive impeachment proceedings.
Saturday is the 40th anniversary of President Richard Nixon's resignation.

Thursday, however, marks the anniversary of a related incident that has since become legendary in Arizona political lore. On Aug. 7, 1974, U.S. Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., U.S. House Minority Leader John Rhodes, R-Ariz., and U.S. Senate Minority Leader Hugh Scott, R-Pa., made it clear to the embattled Nixon that he faced all-but-certain impeachment, conviction and removal from office in connection with the Watergate scandal.

Nixon announced his resignation the next evening, effective at noon on Aug 9, 1974.

Over the years, Goldwater, Rhodes and Scott have been lionized for their often exaggerated role in precipitating Nixon's exit.

In his 2006 book "Conservatives Without Conscience," former Watergate figure John W. Dean wrote that the Capitol Hill trio "traveled to the White House to tell Nixon it was time to resign." A Los Angeles Times headline over Rhodes' 2003 obituary recalled that the longtime representative from Mesa "helped persuade Nixon to resign." A 2007 Politico column recalled the episode as "When the GOP Torpedoed Nixon."

Actually, Goldwater, Rhodes and Scott did not try to persuade or urge Nixon to resign in their meeting in his "working office" in the Old Executive Office Building. They just confirmed to the doomed president the extent to which his support on the Hill had evaporated.

Clooney is a nice looking mad but he's dumb as dirt.

He was withdrawing funds and calling for Joey to step down...hypocrite.
