Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy launched into a furious tirade at George Clooney on Wednesday, after the Hollywood A-lister U-turned on Joe Biden and called for him to pull out of the presidential race.

Clooney's op-ed in the New York Times stunned the world, as he asked Biden, 81, to step down just three weeks after hosting a record-breaking $28 million fundraiser for the president on June 16.

Portnoy was quick to give his thoughts on the incredible turn of events, taking to X to give his scathing take.

'What a f****** hero this guy is,' he says of Clooney, who claimed in his piece that the President 'was not the Joe "big f-ing deal" Biden of 2010' when they met last month.

'So what, George?' Portnoy continued. 'If he didn't do the debate and wasn't a vegetable, you were just going to keep your mouth shut?

'And by the way, if you just found out Biden is a vegetable, where have you been for two years? Everyone knows he's a vegetable.

'The guy 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. He can't get up and down f****** Air Force One without taking a tumble.

25 year old girls use it the most.

I've noticed, lol

We may have to update the old saying "curses like a sailor" to "curses like a tik-tocker" or "curses like a youtuber".

They were distracted by Obama, on purpose.

Obama was there because as far as political donors go, Biden couldn't draw flies.

True.

You are gifted (to say the least) and do beautiful work.:-)

I suppose that means I'm an old fuddy duddy.

No, sounds like you're more intelligent and mature than your boss :)

He’s a good boss, and my life situation has changed from “wanting to work” to “having to work.” Not whining, that’s the way it is. Not pleasant at age 70.

I had a lady friend in Germany that liked it when I swore: “Americans swear with such passion!” lol
