George Clooney taking step back from politics after being made a 'scapegoat' for Kamala Harris' loss

George Clooney feels he is being used as a ‘scapegoat’ in the furious blame game over who could have cost Kamala Harris the election – and will now take a step back from politics.

The Hollywood star, 63, threw his support behind Harris after penning a blistering op-ed on why Joe Biden would cost the Democrats the win if he didn’t abandon his campaign, but it still wasn’t enough to prevent an historic victory for Donald Trump.

Clooney has since been criticized by Democrats for his influence during the election, with some claiming Harris' loss was his fault.

The Oscar-winner is ‘disheartened’ by the backlash, with insiders claiming he did not immediately endorse Harris because he felt the Democrats should have ‘taken a step back’ to weigh up their options.

‘George feels that the backlash he is getting for Kamala losing is not at all warranted,’ a source told DailyMail.com exclusively. ‘He thinks it is completely unfair to try and make him a scapegoat for her loss.

I have a better question. Why would anyone put their trust in a political party who made it’s decision based on the opinion of an actor?

I think suicide is a realistic and worthy option for Clooney to consider. He is a worthless human being.
He caused the Democratic Party to self-destruct. The only relief and atonement is if he takes his own life.

That said, I have to admire him for helping to elect Donald Trump. Way to go, George!

” ‘He thinks it is completely unfair to try and make him a scapegoat for her loss.”

LOL. Awww, poor little George. Maybe if you can’t handle the backlash from pushing your political views, you should stay in your lane (i.e., overrated, over paid has-been)

I hope he doesn’t look where he’s going when he steps back, and he falls backwards over a cliff. ‘Bye George, you POS!

It’s OK, George. It’s not just you; they’re pointing fingers at anybody and everybody—Hispanics, white women, Black men, men in general, racists, misogynists —everything except their lousy candidate and their failed ideas.

George turns tail and runs. Of course he’ll be back...but not until it’s convenient for him.

Dems never learn from their stupid mistakes.

Oh, no! He’s so super intelligent (just ask him.) how will the nation survive without his guidance?

The commies are not going away. DNC National Finance Committee member and Harris campaign fundraiser Lindy Li

The person in charge of fundraising for Kamala, Li was born in Chengdu, Sichuan, China

Call me crazy but it looks like the communist party was and will continue running the DNC.

,,, I've often wondered about the obsession with endorsements from minstrels. George's adverts for Nespresso have made me stick with Moccona. Reptile.

George had Zero influence in what happened as far as Harris losing is concerned. He only jumped aboard after the Coup had taken place.
