Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy heavily criticized Hollywood megastar George Clooney for his recent comments regarding President Joe Biden.
Knewz.com has learned that Clooney called for a new Democrat nominee to replace Biden in the 2024 Presidential elections.
Clooney recently penned his concerns regarding Biden's advancing age and his performance at the June 27 Presidential debate, conveying his worries as an ardent Democrat supporter.
He mentioned that although he considers Biden a friend and "loved" his presidency the first time, he believes it is time the Democrats nominate someone else for the presidential ballot.
"In the last four years, he’s won many of the battles he’s faced. But the one battle he cannot win is the fight against time. None of us can," Clooney wrote.
He also pointed out that the Biden he saw during the Democratic fundraiser ahead of the CNN debate, was the same person the world saw debating Donald Trump and stumbling his way to the end of a sentence—and sometimes failing.
"It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe “big F-ing deal” Biden of 2010. He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate."
While concerns regarding Biden's age and capability to run for Office have been raised every time he made a verbal gaffe – with Trump making it one of the key points of his Presidential campaign – the dissenting voices have never been as loud as they were after the debate.
Notably, Biden's performance at the June 27 debate also led to prominent Democrats calling on him to take his name out of the running, with reports suggesting that the camp is already brewing a plan to help find his replacement.
While talking about border security at the debate – a rather crucial topic for this year's presidential election – Biden's statement became increasingly unintelligible, with Trump grabbing the chance to reply: "I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don’t think he knows what he said, either."
Another notable example was when he tried to respond to a question about the national debt, and he trailed off toward the end of his response and ended his statement with another one of his verbal gaffes, saying, "We finally beat Medicare."
Trump immediately pounced on the opportunity when it was his turn to respond: "Well he's right, he did beat Medicare. He beat it to death and he's destroying Medicare."
Clooney wrote that the fear of a second-term Trump presidency has made supporters "ignorant" of "warning signs" Biden has shown, while repeatedly emphasizing that "this is about age" and "nothing more."
"We are not going to win in November with this president. On top of that, we won’t win the House, and we’re going to lose the Senate," Clooney wrote in his guest essay for The New York Times.
"This isn’t only my opinion; this is the opinion of every senator and Congress member and governor who I’ve spoken with in private. Every single one, irrespective of what he or she is saying publicly."
However, the founder of Barstool Sports has pointed out something many have talked about on social media: why did Clooney call for Biden's removal from the presidential ballot weeks after co-hosting a fundraiser for the President.
"George Clooney, what a hero this guy is. Comes forward today... and he's like, 'Guess what? The guy you saw on the debate? That vegetable? That's f------ Biden, he's a vegetable!'... [Clooney is] Acting like he's doing some heroic thing like 'We can't have a vegetable run for President,'" Portnoy said in a video he posted on X.
"You just found out Biden was a vegetable three weeks ago? Where have you been for two years, everyone knows he's a f--- vegetable."
"The guy cannot get on and off a stage without getting lost. He talks about dead people like he had lunch with them yesterday... He's been a vegetable for two f------ years. Democrats don't f------ care," Portnoy added in his rant.
He further claimed that Democrats let Biden go ahead in the debate, despite Clooney, the Obamas, and everyone in the world being aware that Biden is a "vegetable," because the party wants "to show the world that they have no choice but to f------ whack him."
He further indicated that the Democrats likely want California Governor Gavin Newsom to run in his stead, saying, "You have the good-looking guy from California, Gavin Newsom, waiting. It's all dirty politics."
It was previously reported that Newsom has endorsed Biden in the Presidential campaign and has also stated that he would not run against Vice President Kamala Harris either in the event she replaces Biden in the upcoming election.
"The Democrats were fine for the last year-and-a-half, two years... putting a vegetable in our face. They're fine with doing a fundraiser three weeks ago for a vegetable. So f--- it! Let's have Trump run [against] a head of lettuce," Portnoy said.
