Hollywood donors ‘furious’ at movie mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg for ‘agewashing’ Biden: report
NY Post ^ | 7/05/24 | Ariel Zilber

Big-money Hollywood donors are reportedly enraged at movie mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg for the “agewashing” of President Joe Biden.

Katzenberg, who was named a campaign co-chair due to his prolific fundraising abilities, is being accused by his entertainment industry peers of misleading them by downplaying Biden’s age-related decline and failing to sound the alarm in time to allow the Democrats to pick a suitable replacement, The Ankler reported.

“Everyone in town is furious with him. Furious,” a top Hollywood observer told The Ankler when asked about donors’ views about Katzenberg, who has long insisted that the president is “fine” even though there were apparent signs of cognitive decline that came into full view during last week’s debate against Donald Trump.

“He had this famous quote for everybody, which was ‘I’m happy to put you in a room with him and you’ll see for yourself.’ But nobody did it,” another Hollywood veteran and longtime Democratic donor told the Financial Times.

James Carville, the veteran Democratic Party strategist, told The Ankler that Katzenberg was “pissing up a rope” when he told donors not to worry about Biden’s condition.

Carville, the former adviser to Bill Clinton, has encouraged Democrats to move on from Biden long before the debate debacle — which saw the 81-year-old commander in chief give halting answers, appear to stare out into space and fumble his words.

**SNIP**

The move raised eyebrows among close Biden observers, particularly given Katzenberg’s proximity to the president.

Katzenberg, who has given nearly $4 million to Biden’s campaign and a pro-Biden super PAC, was quoted last year as saying that he viewed Biden’s age as a “superpower.”

He told Reuters last year that Biden was “energetic” and “effective,” and suggested Republican attacks on his age will backfire.

Anyone who thought Bidet had all his marbles shouldn’t be trusted with a remote or iPhone.

These Hollywood donors are furious because now they have to pretend they didn’t already know that Jao Bai-din is a potato and has been for years.

I want to, but unfortunately, what is this that I just heard that Trump challenged Biden again for another debate and I hear that Biden agreed to take up his challenge. This is the time to just sit back and enjoy all the chaos that’s going on in the rat party. This is no time to go on the offense just because of a leaked Video of you speaking the truth. Nobody cares about a video that speaks the truth! Please please President Trump if you are reading this please I pray that you just sit back and enjoy the disaster that’s happening in the rat’s sinking ship! Continue golfing! PLEAAAASE!

Liberals realizing they’ve been completely lied to by other liberals is funny beyond words.

Allowing the electorate to choose a candidate through the primary process was out of the question. Now the DNC can install their candidate.

They fixed the primaries because they didn’t want RFK Jr to win.

RFK Jr is like a far left version of Trump, and would refuse to listen to the people who actually run the country. There’s no way they could allow him to be their candidate.

What an unbelievable pile of BS. Biden has always been stupid, always been an evil bully, always been a chomo, and an idiot. He has been in public office 50 years and these idiot hollywoodies expect us to believe they didn’t know Biden is trash.

Trump should host a debate or townhall between himself and RFK. I,agine the chaos in the democrat party with that. RFK is a loon and would take so many votes from Chomo Joe their cheating wouldn’t be big enough. K

Tucker Carlson should be the moderator. Elon Musk can post the livestream on X.

RFK jr. Would have America in marshal law and lock down because of his paranoid schizophrenia over climate change in no time... And everything taken from everybody.

Even Joe's puppet masters aren't as batshit crazy as him. I'm glad he was kept out of everything.

If we have a democracy, RFK Jr should get to compete in the Democratic Party primary.

And then run against Donald Trump.

RFK wouldn’t have won... He was polling low single digits and couldn’t even meet the threshold they set for debates.
