Scandal-scarred former first son Hunter Biden went on a scorched-earth rant against actor George Clooney and other Democratic Party luminaries who urged his father Joe to drop out of the 2024 presidential race.
During an interview with YouTube personality Andrew Callaghan released Monday, the 55-year-old Hunter bristled at Clooney, 64, over his July 10, 2024, New York Times op-ed that urged Democrats to pick a new presidential nominee due to Biden’s advancing age.
“F— him and everybody around him, I don’t have to be f—ing nice,” Hunter said of the “Good Night and Good Luck” star.
“Number one, I agree with [director] Quentin Tarantino, George Clooney is not a f—ing actor … he is a brand,” he added. “He’s great friends with [former President] Barack Obama. F— you. What do you have to do with f—ing anything? Why do I have to f—ing listen to you?”
Clooney had co-hosted a June 15, 2024, Hollywood fundraiser for Biden’s re-election campaign — during which the 46th president froze up onstage before being led away by former President Barack Obama.
In their recent book “Original Sin,” co-authors Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson revealed that Biden did not recognize Clooney at that same event, despite having known the “Ocean’s Eleven” and “The Descendants” heartthrob for more than two decades.
“George Clooney wasn’t going to show up to that fundraiser and he was bitching to the White House staff,” Hunter recalled. “He was so angry that the president would criticize the arrest warrant that was executed for [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu.”
Clooney’s wife, Amal, a human rights lawyer, had been one of six experts who recommended the International Criminal Court seek to haul in Netanyahu for purported war crimes against Palestinians in Gaza, a move that the Biden administration rebuked.
In response, Clooney sent “reams” of text messages threatening that he was “going to embarrass the president and pull out of the fundraiser,” Hunter claimed.
According to Tapper and Thompson, Biden had to be helped walking into the event by an aide who initially told the president “you know George” before clarifying “George Clooney” after the Democrat gave a perfunctory greeting.
“Oh, yeah … Hi, George!” Biden reportedly responded after perking up.
In the interview released on the anniversary of Joe Biden ending his re-election bid, Hunter claimed Clooney had fabricated the story of the 46th president having to be introduced to him — and claimed it was standard practice for aides to formally identify supporters to the commander in chief.
Hunter suggested that Clooney was “given the blessing” by Obama allies to throw Joe Biden under the bus and lashed out at each of them in turn.
“James Carville, who hasn’t run a race in 40 f—ing years, and David Axelrod, who had one success in his political life, and that was Barack Obama — that was because of Barack Obama, not because of f—ing David Axelrod,” Hunter began.
“And David Plouffe and all of these guys in the ‘Pod Save America,’ guys who were junior f—ing speech writers on Barack Obama’s Senate staff who have been dining out on the relationship with him for years, making millions of dollars, the Anita Dunns of the world, who’s made $40, $50 million off the Democratic Party they’re all going to insert their judgment,” he added.
A rep for Clooney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
