Evidence is emerging that former President Barack Obama gave the green light to actor George Clooney before he submitted a devastating op-ed to the New York Times calling for President Joe Biden to end his reelection bid.
“Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough said as much on Thursday, claiming the 44th president is believed to be “working behind the scenes” to “orchestrate” Biden’s departure from the race. The revelation comes from a scoop by Politico revealing that Clooney spoke privately with the former president ahead of the piece being published earlier this week.
“I’ll say one thing that we do have to underline here so viewers can follow what’s going on behind the scenes, is the Biden campaign and many Democratic officials do believe that Barack Obama is quietly working behind the scenes to orchestrate this,” Scarborough claimed next to a stunned Mika Brzezinski.
