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.

“ Republican attacks on his age”
Tiresome media red herring. Nobody has attacked his age, it’s his shriveled substandard brain that’s the problem.
Katzenberg is one of the leading members of the gay mafia.
Biden committed incest and is a pedophile and appoint others like him in gov’t offices. THAT is why Katzenberg supports him.
They’re disgusting. They didn’t care about Biden arming terrorists or opening the border, but they care he might lose the election? They’re disgusting pigs who only care about power. I absolutely pray Trump slaughters Biden in the election and Repubs take the house AND senate. Just absolutely obliterate these pigs once and for all
How could they not know? Didn’t they see him at international events wandering, mouth agape, shaking hands with nobody, people having to steer him in the right direction? Don’t they hear him talk? Badahadkefcare gibberish, slurring, faint voice, etc?
Whether I’m for or against Biden, or for or against Trump, all I’m going to say is that I’m REALLY going to enjoy watching Katzenberg get humiliated like this. That guy ruined Disney by forcing in needless sociopolitical messaging with Beauty and the Beast and Pocahontas, not to mention came close to sabotaging the Renaissance multiple times, and was also the guy directly responsible for hiring Linda Woolverton, the same idiot who wrecked Sleeping Beauty with her Maleficent movie, and also nearly wrecked Toy Story. Basically the prototype to what Bob Iger inflicted onto Disney. As far as I’m concerned, he DESERVES the humiliation for being such a petty jerk.
I’m definitely for Trump, but even if I weren’t, just watching everyone turn on Katzenberg after everything he did is nothing short of cathartic.
