Hunter Biden goes off on George Clooney: ‘F— him and everybody around him'
Appearing on YouTube personality Andrew Callagan's web series 'Channel 5,' Hunter Biden lashed out at Clooney and other members of the party who publicly criticized the former president after his disastrous debate against President Trump in summer 2024.
'F— him, f— him, f— him and everybody around him,' Hunter Biden said during the interview released Monday, in response to an anecdote about Clooney's political involvement. 'I don't have to be f—— nice. No.1, I agree with Quentin Tarantino…F—— George Clooney is not a f—— actor. He is a f—— , like…I don't know what he is. He is a brand.'
Cooney was among the first prominent Democrats to call on former President Biden to drop out, warning in an op-ed in The New York Times last July that the party would lose the election otherwise.
Within two weeks, the former president announced he was dropping his reelection bid and endorsing Vice President Harris to fill his place. Clooney thanked Biden 'for saving democracy once again' in response and endorsed Harris.
The former president's son also lashed out at other high-profile figures in the party.
'What do you have to do with f—— anything? Why do I have to f—— listen to you?' Biden asked. 'What right do you have to step on a man who's given 52 years of his f—— life to service of this country and to decide you, George Clooney, are going to take out basically a full page ad in the f—— New York Times…to me, and James Carville who hasn't run a race in 40 f—— years and David Axelrod who had one success in his political life, and that was Barack Obama and that was because of Barack Obama, not because of f—— David Axelrod and David Plouffe and all of these guys…and the Pod Save America Guys, who were junior f—— speechwriters on Barack Obama's Senate staff who had been dining out on their relationship with him…'
Hunter Biden, who was pardoned over multiple federal charges by his father during the last weeks of the former president's administration, has reemerged in public for the first time in months to slam the Democratic Party's handling of the election.
He is slated to appear on former DNC Chair Jaime Harrison's new podcast, where he has blamed the Democratic Party's loss on its lack of loyalty to his father.
'You know what, we are going to fight amongst ourselves for the next three years until there's a nominee. And then with the nominee, we better as hell get behind that nominee,' Biden told Harrison on 'At Our Table.'
Tommy Vietor, one of the hosts of 'Pod Save America,' responded to Biden's comments in a tweet.
'It's good to see that Hunter has taken some time to process the election, look inward, and hold himself accountable for how his family's insular, dare I say arrogant at times, approach to politics led to this catastrophic outcome we're all now living with,' he wrote.

Bryson DeChambeau's ‘uncomfortable exchange' with British Open ball spotter divides fans
Bryson DeChambeau is catching heat from some on social media after his exchange with a ball spotter at last week's British Open went viral. In a video shared Tuesday by Golf on CBS — that was titled 'An uncomfortable exchange between Bryson DeChambeau and a ball spotter at The Open' — the LIV Golf star asked the spotter where his ball landed in the rough at Royal Portrush, with the staffer pointing to the area. Before DeChambeau, 31, lined up to take the shot, the two-time major champion appeared to say 'thank you' and told the spotter, 'You can move out of the way.'

Golf on CBS/Youtube Advertisement Some golf fans took exception to the conversation and chided DeChambeau's actions in the post's comments. 'Come on Bryson, this is pathetic behavior, no matter how rich and good at golf you are,' one fan wrote. 'That was rude yo. Did you just exposed true self as a fake???' another posted. 5 Some fans took exception to his behavior and called him out in the comments. REUTERS Advertisement DeChambeau rallied to a 10th-place finish at the final major of the year after carding an ugly 7-over 78 in the opening round — As the DeChambeau pile-on continued in the comments, with some likening the behavior to 'childish' and a 'lack of class,' others spoke out in defense of the former U.S. Open champion following a seemingly innocuous exchange. 'That wasn't so bad. People just being their typical judgmental selves when they're not in the situation,' a fan posted. 'People overreacting on what he said. Nothing to see here,' another expressed.

He opened the major season on a high note in April when he sealed his best Masters finish with a tie for fifth. He followed up that performance a month later with a tie for second at the PGA Championship. 5 The two-time major champion played through the weekend at Royal Portrush and finished tied for 10th place. REUTERS Although DeChambeau failed to defend his 2024 U.S. Open title after missing the cut in June, he played his way through the weekend in Northern Ireland after a bumpy British Open start. 'I was able to hold myself together under the pressure and fight for every shot,' DeChambeau said after shooting a 7-under 64 in Sunday's final round for a 9-under par total. 'I'm super proud of the round I played today. Just wish I could have that 78 back.' Scottie Scheffler went on to capture his second major of the year with an overall score of 17-under. He won the PGA Championship in May.

Thune keeps options open on recess
Speaker Mike Johnson is managing a delicate balance between appeasing antsy Republicans over the Jeffrey Epstein files and buying President Donald Trump time by shutting down the House early for August recess. The Louisiana Republican tried to quell dissent in a closed-door House GOP meeting Tuesday. He told members to stay united, arguing it would take time for the administration to release files that would also protect the names of Epstein's victims. But Republicans are getting impatient. In an Oversight subcommittee hearing Tuesday, lawmakers voted to compel the full committee to subpoena Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) later told reporters he had warned GOP leadership last week that if the Epstein files came up in his committee, most of his members would vote on the side of transparency. 'Everyone knew that,' Comer said, adding that his team will visit Maxwell in prison for the interview once they negotiate details with her attorneys. The saga has given Democrats just the platform they needed to land a successful blow on the White House. In her latest column, Rachael Bade outlines just how much the party has found its mojo in effectively hijacking the House and sticking it to Trump. Democratic efforts to further drive the MAGA wedge has legs beyond this week. The bipartisan bill led by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), which would compel the release of more files, could hit the floor as soon as lawmakers return in September. That means Republican leaders are bracing for Democrats to keep the Epstein issue hot during August recess. And some of their own members who are itching for an outlet acknowledge that five weeks off may not stop Johnson's headache. 'The Epstein issue has contributed to their desire to just get us out of town because they hope that the energy will dissipate,' Massie told reporters Tuesday. 'I doubt that's the case.' What else we're watching: — Dems' appropriations strategy: As the Senate continues working through appropriations bills, Democrats met Tuesday to discuss their demands ahead of a government shutdown deadline in September. The Democratic leaders emerged Tuesday with no specific ultimatums for Republicans but called for them to negotiate in good faith. — Senate's version of the CLARITY Act: Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and Sens. Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Bill Hagerty of Tennessee and Bernie Moreno of Ohio released draft legislation Tuesday for a digital asset market structure overhaul. It's the Senate's version of the House's CLARITY Act, which passed the House on July 17 with support from 78 Democrats and would divvy up regulation of digital assets under the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. — More funding clawbacks: Republican leaders are in talks with the White House about a second rescissions package, after pushing through the first rescissions package last week. The package would include Education Department funding, which was first reported by the Daily Signal. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise did not disclose the specifics of upcoming rescissions but told POLITICO talks were well underway. Meredith Lee Hill, Hailey Fuchs, Jasper Goodman, Juan Perez Jr. and Eli Stokols contributed to this report.
