From George Clooney to James Carville, Hunter Biden is angry with the Democrats. Here's why
Hunter, 55, has been the subject of a major scandal involving his drug use and firearms license, which resulted in his conviction in June 2024. He was pardoned by Joe Biden towards the end of his Presidential tenure.
Speaking to Callaghan, Hunter Biden spoke about the chain of events leading to his father's decision to drop out of the Presidential race in 2024, and how a section of the Blue Party forced that. He targeted actor George Clooney, a mega donor of the Democrats, who wrote an op-ed in the New York Times on July 10 urging the Democratic Party to name a new nominee for the 2024 US elections.
'F—k him and everybody around him, I don't have to be f—king nice,' Hunter Biden said. 'Number one, I agree with [director] Quentin Tarantino, George Clooney is not a f—king actor … he is a brand."
"He's great friends with Barack Obama. F—k you. What do you have to do with f—king anything? Why do I have to f—king listen to you?'

Clooney was crucial in persuading the Democratic Party to sack Biden and, subsequently, decide on former VP Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party's candidate. On June 15, George Clooney held a fundraiser for the Biden campaign in Hollywood, where Joe Biden froze on the stage, sparking major concerns around his competency to serve as POTUS for another term.
Hunter also took aim at several Democratic Party advisors and strategists and made a number of serious allegations against them. He said James Carville, the eminent Democrat strategist, "hasn't won a race in 40 f------ years." Hunter Biden said, David Axelrod, former Obama advisor, "had one success in his political life and that was Barack Obama and that was because of Barack Obama."
Meanwhile, he said Anita Dunn "has made $40-$50 million off the Democratic Party," and Jake Tapper "has the smallest audience on cable news."

President Donald Trump 's approval rating has sunk to its lowest level of his second term, according to a new Gallup poll , as Americans grow increasingly divided over his handling of immigration, the economy, and the federal budget. The Gallup survey, conducted July 7-21, puts Trump 's job approval at 37 percent, down from 47 percent at the start of the year. Fifty-eight percent disapprove, marking one of the steepest drops in his presidency.

That figure is the lowest Gallup has recorded for independents in either of Trump's terms. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Elegant New Scooters For Seniors In 2024: The Prices May Surprise You Mobility Scooter | Search Ads Learn More Undo 'About six months into the second Trump administration, the president's approval rating has stabilized in the mid-40s,' said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling. 'While his disapproval has steadily increased about a point each month since the inauguration and now stands at 47 percent.' An Emerson College poll conducted from July 21 to 22 found Trump at 46 percent approval and 47 percent disapproval, largely unchanged from June. Trump scored highest on immigration, with 45 percent approving and 46 percent disapproving, and lowest on the economy, where just 41 percent approve and 51 percent disapprove. Live Events A Fox News poll taken July 18-21 mirrored those numbers, showing 46 percent approval and 54 percent disapproval. Republicans remain solidly behind the president, with nearly 9 in 10 backing him, but independents and Democrats overwhelmingly disapprove. Trump's weak marks come as his administration faces scrutiny over immigration enforcement and recent tariff policies. Public confidence in his economic leadership has slipped sharply amid fears of slowing growth. Gallup reports just 19 percent of Americans approve of his handling of the federal budget, the lowest on any major issue tested. Despite the dip, Trump retains near-unanimous backing among Republicans and strong support on border security, where Fox News found 56 percent of voters approve of his approach. The erosion of independent support could have big implications for the 2026 midterm elections . Historically, second-term presidents tend to see their approval rebound after early turbulence.
