Hunter Biden is still very angry with actor George Clooney, who wrote a New York Times op-ed last July pushing then President Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential race.
The younger Biden sat down for a three-hour-long, very foul-mouthed interview with YouTuber Andrew Callaghan, hosting him in Wilmington, Delaware.
Biden used four-letter words when discussing Clooney and other Democrats who had been critical of his father or helped orchestrate the president’s exit from the 2024 race. The anniversary of the senior Biden bowing out of the race was Monday.
‘F*** him, f*** him and everybody around him,’ the former first son said of Clooney, as he discussed the actor’s decision to pen the op-ed that insinuated that the Democratic president was senile.
‘I agree with Quentin Tarantino, F***ing George Clooney is not a f***ing actor. He is a f***ing, like, I don’t know what he is. He’s a brand,’ Biden continued. ‘F*** you, what do you have to do with f***ing anything? Why do I have to f***ing listen to you?’
Clooney said of the president that ‘the one battle he cannot win is the fight against time.’
The actor had seen Biden at a June 15 fundraiser in Los Angeles ahead of Biden’s disastrous June 27 debate in Atlanta.
In the op-ed, Clooney divulged that the Biden he saw at the fundraiser was the same one who appalled Democratic voters on the debate stage.

‘This is about age. Nothing more,’ Clooney wrote. ‘We are not going to win in November with this president.’

The president’s debate performance against President Donald Trump had heightened calls for the 81-year-old to drop out, with Clooney’s op-ed published less than two weeks later.
Behind-the-scenes, CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson wrote in their book Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again that President Biden didn’t recognize Clooney when he arrived at the LA fundraiser.
The younger Biden countered that Monday saying that Tapper and Thompson’s sources misinterpreted presidential protocol.
Biden said Clooney was introduced to the president at the fundraiser because that is the customary part of presidential photo lines.
‘And he may know George for the last 30 years and he may have met him 15 times but the guy on his shoulder, who’s usually a military officer, has one job, to say the name of the person who’s walking up,’ Biden said.
He added: ‘I was there. I watched George Clooney be introduced to my dad with 30 other people in line and the guy said, “Mr. President, George Clooney and Julia Roberts.” That’s it, that’s the story.’
Biden claimed that Clooney used that incident to undercut his father.
‘What right do you have to step on a man who’s given 52 years of his f***ing life to the service of this country and decide that you, George Clooney, are gonna take out basically a full-page ad in the f***ing New York Times to undermine the president at a time in which, by the way, what do people care about the most?’ Biden said. ‘Why do you think that the Republicans have an advantage over us? Because they’re unified.’
Representatives for Clooney did not immediately respond to the Daily Mail’s request for comment.

Biden went after both Tapper and Thompson by name as well.
The former first son called the book a ‘money grab’ on Tapper’s part and mocked the cable news host’s ratings.
He objected to Tapper suggesting he was acting as some sort of ‘chief of staff’ who helped hide President Biden’s declining condition.
‘Jesus Christ Jake, grow the f*** up,’ Biden said.
Throughout the three-hour-long sit-down, Biden also slammed David Axelrod several times.
Axelrod was former President Barack Obama’s longtime political adviser who suggested early in the 2024 cycle that Biden should consider dropping out and allowing the Democrats to have a primary instead.
‘David Axelrod had one success in his political life and that was Barack Obama and that was because of Barack Obama not because of f***in’ David Axelrod.,’ Biden said.
Obama chose Joe Biden to be his running mate during the 2008 election cycle – but there have long been reports about there being rifts between the Obama and the Biden camps.
That was on full display during the interview, when Biden went after the Pod Save America podcasters too.
He mocked the group – made up of four former Obama aides – Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, Dan Pfeiffer and Tommy Vietor.
Biden called them ‘four white millionaires that are dining out on their association with him from 16 years ago, living in Beverly f***ing Hills, telling the rest of the world what black voters in South Carolina really want.’
‘The Anita Dunns of the world, who’s made 40, 50 million dollars off the Democratic party, they’re all gonna insert their judgment over a man who has figured out, unlike anybody else, how to get elected to the United States Senate over seven times,’ Biden added.
Dunn served in his father’s administration but also worked for Obama.
Biden also mocked Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s former White House chief of staff, for having presidential ambitions.
‘What a f***ing …,’ Biden said trailing off. ‘David Axelrod’s going to run his campaign for him,’ he said, rolling his eyes.
