NextImg:George Clooney’s bizarre Biden comparison: Letters to the Editor — Sep. 5, 2024

The Issue: George Clooney heaping praise on President Biden for dropping out of the 2024 race.

George Clooney must be suffering from short-term memory loss because he says that President Biden should be applauded for doing the most selfless thing that anyone has ever done since George Washington opted not to run for a third term (“Clooney’s new spin on Joe go,” Sept. 2).

What’s next?

Putting Biden on Mount Rushmore?

Clooney said he “loves Joe Biden,” but what kind of “love” consist of publishing an embarrassing New York Times op-ed stating that the president is such an ineffective candidate that he needs to go and be replaced with a “new nominee”?

Clooney and the Democratic establishment panicked after that disastrous debate with former President Donald Trump.

Biden did not “agree” to step down.

Everyone knows he was forced out.

Clooney is seeking to hide his Brutus-like role in taking down Biden by lauding the president for a selfless “George Washington performance.”

The reality is more complicated.

The Democrats probably made Biden an offer he couldn’t refuse: Either give up the campaign for reelection, or we’ll invoke the 25th amendment.

Clooney was way off the mark when he equated Joe with George Washington because Biden abdicated the nomination.

There are few men who can match Washington in the hearts and minds of Americans, which only highlights the emptiness of Clooney’s attempt to make Biden seem heroic for stepping down from the ’24 Dem ticket.

Joe didn’t willfully step aside, he was carted off by the party bigwigs unwillingly, something that hasn’t been in seen in American politics since the days of party bosses and smoke-filled rooms.

Nice try, George.

The Issue: Gov. Tim Walz’ brother lambasting the Democrat Veep candidate’s politics.

Jeff Walz is telling it like it is in regards to his brother, the Democratic vice-presidential candidate and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (“Oh, Brother,” Sept. 1)

Tim, a former soldier (although much less vaunted than he has boasted) allowed Minneapolis to be wantonly burned, beginning the alarming, nightmarish summer of 2020 for Americans.

The governor turned his back as the mob commenced to set fires and lay waste to dozens of buildings across Minneapolis and St. Paul, including a police precinct.

What kind of soldiery is that?

It’s always sad to see a conflict between two brothers which they can’t seem to resolve.

For every Liam and Noel — the bro-duo behind the recently reunited Oasis band — there is always a Tim and Jeff Walz.

One of the most famous sibling conflict in the American imagination was that between Michael and Fredo Corleone.

Fortunately, in real life, brothers are usually able to resolve their differences in a more amicable fashion than in cinema.
