Actor George Clooney is being blamed by raging Democrats for President Donald Trump’s landslide victory, arguing that Trump won because the actor pushed President Joe Biden out of the race and replaced him with Vice President Kamala Harris.
Clooney reportedly played a major role in forcing Biden to end his reelection bid and replacing him with Harris, and even published a New York Times op-ed in July calling on Biden to drop out.
“We are not going to win in November with this president,” he wrote.
“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,” the lifelong Democrat added, noting that the Democrat Party needed to find a replacement candidate.
After Biden was forced out on July 21, Clooney praised him for being “selfless” and celebrated Harris’ candidacy.

Critics have been slamming Clooney on social media following Harris’ devastating loss, which saw Trump winning 312 electoral votes and winning the popular vote by nearly five million votes — becoming the first Republican in two decades to win the popular vote.
The political commentator group altNOAA, which is reportedly led by veterans despite having the LGBT flag and the trans flag in its bio, ominously wrote: “Someone bring me George Clooney. We need to have a…talk.”
The post included a GIF of Batman throttling The Joker.

“Since I’m in a deep depression and feel like lashing out at someone, what’s the plan now George Clooney,” one since-deleted post read.
“I blame George Clooney he said no more money… and now look…” another user wrote, referring to Clooney’s op-ed where he called on Democrats to stop funding Biden’s campaign.

“Thanks George Clooney, Stephen King and the Dems to name a few!” another replied.

Republicans joined in on the trend as well, thanking Clooney for helping Trump win.
“Thank you George Clooney,” veteran Joshua Hartley wrote.

That post prompted a hilarious reply, which highlighted the fact that Democrats have blamed everyone and everything for Trump’s victory except themselves — including Russia, Clooney, Harris’ running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), Latinos, men, and the Amish.
“They miss the fact that they have no platform. They put forth no ideas to help American workers or the middle-class,” the user added.
