Joy Behar Isn't Vibing With George Clooney Over His Biden Op-Ed: 'He Has To Write' That?
HuffPost
"The View" co-host slammed the actor for taking his concerns about the president to The New York Times.
Joy Behar admitted she’s “mad” at George Clooney after the actor and Democratic fundraiser called on President Joe Biden to end his reelection bid in an opinion piece for The New York Times on Wednesday.
“The View” co-host pointed to the op-ed where Clooney, who helped raise over $30 million for Biden in June, wrote that he loves the president but the person he saw weeks before “wasn’t even” the person he saw in 2020.
“George Clooney, couldn’t he tell him that in person for God’s sake? He has to write an op-ed piece?” Behar asked on Thursday’s show.
She went on to flip to a clip of Jon Favreau, “Pod Save America” co-host and former Obama White House speechwriter, where he offered his takeaway on Biden at the Clooney-backed event.
“I remember my wife, Emily, turned to me after the fundraiser and said, what are we going to do?” Favreau told CNN on Wednesday.
