 The case that George Clooney is making in this New York Times op-ed is based on a fundraiser that Clooney hosted where Barack Obama nudged President Biden off the stage. The White House told us was an out-of-context, cheap fake. But now Clooney writes, it's devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three and a half weeks ago at the fundraiser was not the Joe big effing deal Biden of 2010. He wasn't even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.
