Original Sin, the bombshell new book revealing the crisis of the Democrat campaign, has claimed that Joe Biden was so lost at a fundraiser that he did not recognise George Clooney. Clooney was shaken to the core and then wrote his (in)famous piece in the NYT asking Biden not to contest this election. After this revelation was made by this yet-to-be-published book written by Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper, social media users started saying that now everything makes sense — as to why a lifelong Democrat like Clooney turned against Biden, his longtime friend. The awkward interaction took place at a Biden fundraiser that Clooney organized. The book says the assisting aide alerted Biden by saying ‘You know George’ as the duo met and Biden did ‘Yeah, yeah’ and then said, “Thank you for being here.”George Clooney was certain that Biden did not recognize him. “That thing, the moment where you recognize someone you know — especially a famous person who’s doing a f**king fund-raiser for you — it was delayed. It was uncomfortable,” the book says quoting a Hollywood VIP who witnessed the incident.The aide then clarified that it was George Clooney and to that, Biden said, “Oh yeah! Hi, George!”“Clooney had expressed concern about Biden’s health before — a White House aide had told him a few months before that they were working on getting the president to take longer steps when he walked — but obviously the problem went far beyond his gait,” the book said. Clooney had not seen Biden personally since December 2022 and so he was shocked seeing Biden’s decline. This was followed by Clooney’s NYT piece that Biden should drop out of the race because he can’t win. “It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fundraiser was not the Joe ‘big F-ing deal’ Biden of 2010,” Clooney wrote at the time. “He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.”
