In reply to the discussion: Ahh, shit. Dem megadonor and supporter, George Clooney now calling for Biden to drop out. Damn, Damn, Damn [View all]shrike3
(5,370 posts)Biden had sharply criticized a move by the International Criminal Court to issue warrants for Israeli leaders.
George Clooney called one of President Bidens top aides last month to complain about the presidents criticism of the International Criminal Courts action against Israeli leaders  a case his wife, Amal Clooney, worked on.
Clooney called Steve Ricchetti, counselor to the president, to express concern about Bidens denunciation of arrest warrants sought by ICC prosecutors for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, especially his use of the word outrageous.
The actor was also upset about the administrations initial openness to imposing sanctions on the ICC because his wife might be subject to the penalties, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a private conversation.
From WaPo.
People tend to do things for reasons which benefit themselves, and I'm sure George is no exception.
