George Clooney Slammed by Barstool Sports Founder Dave Portnoy for Biden Remarks

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy mocked actor George Clooney for criticizing President Biden after waiting three weeks following a fundraiser and urging him to exit the 2024 race.

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy has unleashed a barrage of criticism against actor George Clooney for his recent comments regarding President Biden. In a New York Times guest essay, Clooney called on Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, describing him as "a vegetable."

Portnoy took aim at Clooney's timing, pointing out that he had recently attended a star-studded fundraiser where he raised millions of dollars for Biden. "Three weeks ago, he's raising tens of millions, co-chair for Biden. Today comes out, he's like, 'Guess what? The guy you saw in the debate, that vegetable, that's f------ Biden, he's a vegetable. He was a vegetable three weeks ago.' Acting like he's doing some heroic thing," Portnoy remarked mockingly.

Portnoy went on to question why Clooney remained silent about Biden's cognitive abilities for the past two years. "If you just found out Biden was a vegetable, where have you been for two years? Everyone knows he's a vegetable," he said. "He can't get on and off a stage without getting lost, he talks about dead people like he had lunch with them yesterday. He can't f------ ride his bike without falling down."

The Barstool Sports founder accused Clooney and the Democrats of engaging in dirty politics. "They're fine with doing a fundraiser three weeks ago for a vegetable. So f--- it, let's just have Trump run versus a head of lettuce. Honestly? The votes will probably be the same," he joked.

Portnoy suggested that Democrats have always preferred California Governor Gavin Newsom to run against former President Trump. "It's all about power. They wanted to have Gavin Newsom, the good-looking guy from California, to run to be president instead of Biden," he claimed.

He slammed Democrats for their lack of transparency and accused them of suppressing other candidates. "You had Biden go win it, and now the Democratic Party is trying to say who comes next. It's a game," he said.

Portnoy concluded by reiterating his belief that Biden's cognitive decline is widely known. "Everyone with a brain knew that. So why are these Democrats pretending to be concerned now?" he questioned.

Fox News Digital reached out to representatives for Portnoy and Clooney but did not receive immediate responses. Portnoy's comments reflect a growing chorus of criticism from Hollywood elites and megadonors who have turned against Biden following his perceived poor performance in the recent Democratic debate.
