Fox News host and reliable Donald Trump supporter Sean Hannity is all in favor of the actor George Clooney running for president in 2020, a possibility floated by The Drudge Report on Tuesday under the banner: "Clooney 2020 Vision?" (Drudge linked to an article about Clooney and his wife, Amal, donating $500,000 to a planned student march on Washington, D.C. to advocate for gun control.)
"My attitude is, 'Run, George, run,'" Hannity said on his radio show on Tuesday afternoon. "If George Clooney wants to run, I'm all for it."
Hannity compared Clooney to another entertainer who has been bandied about as a presidential candidate despite not expressing any real interest in running for president.
"I think Oprah Winfrey would be infinitely better as a candidate than George Clooney," he said.
Clooney said his family will attend the march, slated for March 24. "Our family will be there on March 24 to stand side by side with this incredible generation of young people from all over the country, and in the name of our children Ella and Alexander, we’re donating 500,000 dollars to help pay for this groundbreaking event," he said. "Our children’s lives depend on it.”
But, while Hannity (somewhat sarcastically) boosted a Clooney campaign, the Fox News host is bearish on a candidate Clooney's platform.
"I think George Clooney's positions, when they come out, would be so asinine to be hilarious," Hannity said on Tuesday.
George Clooney is a poser. Really just a poser.
Always has his hand in his pocket for some reason.
The Original Soggy Bottom Boy — Clooney 2020.
Yeah, Clooney and Jennifer Lawrence: the “Dumb and Dumber” ticket! I can see the campaign shirts and hats now: “I’m with stupid!”
“”Our children’s lives depend on it.””
No, George - your children’s lives depend on you hiring security to protect them with GUNS! As well as your own!
He may not have meant “our” as in “his” but it still applies....
Clooney is quick on his feet. With the media on his side, don’t misunderestimate him.
