George Clooney was entirely up Hillary’s butt during the entire 2016 election. He even hosted one of those fancy super-expensive celebrity fundraisers.
Well, he either had a change of heart, or never liked her in the first place, because he’s now saying she wasn’t fit for the job.
George Clooney, who supported Hillary Clinton amid the 2016 presidential campaign and once hosted a fundraiser for her, said he believes she wasn’t fit for the White House.
The A-list actor and new father, 56, spoke during a wide-ranging interview with the Daily Beast revealing that while he believes the Democratic nominee was ‘qualified for the job,’ she wasn’t a skilled communicator like some of her counterparts.
Being qualified for the job does not necessarily mean you’re the right person to be president,’ Clooney said in the interview.
‘Here’s what I mean … She was more qualified than even her husband was when he was elected president, but she’s not as good at communicating things. That’s simply true.
‘When she got up and gave a speech, it didn’t soar. Now, that doesn’t mean that she wouldn’t have done a great job as president, and I supported her because by the time we did the fundraiser the primary was over at that point and it was time to get on with picking someone to move forward, and she was the right person to side with.’
The “qualified” BS is just crap he has to say to make sure the Dems don’t riot against him…
So basically he supported her because he didn’t have a choice. (He DID have a choice, but the day Clooney supports a Republican is a cold day in Hell.)
And he says he’s NOT the only one who feels this way…
The Academy Award-winning filmmaker and humanitarian had several liberal acquaintances who also believed Clinton faced a ‘harder uphill battle’ against Trump.
‘It was frustrating because I never saw her elevate her game. I saw it. And I had a lot of liberal friends who were like, ‘She’s not good at this.’ And I see that, and I understand it. I also think, though, that if it was a guy it wouldn’t have been so polarizing.
‘I think that she wasn’t particularly good at articulating the things that she wanted to do, and unfortunately we live at a time right now where articulating what you want to do is more potent in the electorate than the other way around, obviously, when Trump only said he was going to ‘Make America Great Again,’ said Clooney.
DAAAAAANG. Other than his dig at Trump, Clooney is EXACTLY RIGHT! (I can’t believe I’m saying that.)
Hillary NEVER stepped up her campaign. She coasted on what she believed was a sure win. She underestimated the power of the silent majority, and felt she could sneer at the American people in disdain while still winning the presidency.
She thought wrong.
It’s interesting to hear libs say out loud what we’ve known all along.
