Hollywood actor George Clooney, who abandoned the United States for France and officially arranged for his children to become French citizens, is launching attacks against CBS News chief Bari Weiss while simultaneously expressing rage toward President Trump.
Clooney accused Weiss of "dismantling" CBS News' news division, marking yet another instance of the expatriate actor inserting himself into American media and political discourse despite his decision to flee the country.
The actor's latest political outburst has sparked fierce backlash from American conservatives on social media. Twitter user @waterboybobbyb expressed the sentiment of many Americans, writing: "YOU'RE A FUCKING ACTOR WHO GIVES A FUCK WHAT YOU THINK!"
Another user, @JonTarr17, captured the growing frustration with celebrity political commentary, stating: "Actors should be seen and not heard."
Hollywood Hypocrisy on Full Display
Clooney's criticism comes as particularly tone-deaf given his own decision to relocate his family to France and secure French citizenship for his children. The move raises questions about why someone who chose to leave America feels entitled to lecture Americans about their news media and political leadership.
Bari Weiss, a respected journalist known for her principled stands against progressive orthodoxy, has been working to restore credibility to CBS News. Clooney's attacks on her efforts appear to align with broader left-wing resistance to balanced journalism in mainstream media.
The actor's simultaneous rage against President Trump continues a pattern of Hollywood elites using their platforms to attack the democratically elected leader while living comfortably abroad, insulated from the consequences of the policies they advocate for ordinary Americans.
As conservatives noted across social media platforms, including @ConserLibrarian who shared the story, Clooney's commentary represents the disconnect between Hollywood's progressive elite and the American people who rejected their preferred candidates at the ballot box.
The incident underscores the ongoing cultural divide between coastal elites who have the luxury of fleeing America when it doesn't suit them, versus working Americans who remain committed to making their country stronger under President Trump's leadership.
