In yet another moment showing that Trump Derangement Syndrome is far from gone amongst members of the woke elite, particularly in the far-left entertainment industry, woke Hollywood stars George Clooney and Julia Roberts claimed, during the star-studded Saturday, June 15 Biden fundraiser in Los Angeles, that “democracy” and “our children’s future” are at risk if former President Donald Trump wins in November.
As background, their comments came as they tried, successfully, to rattle the cup for Biden’s campaign after former President Donald Trump raked in tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars of donations following his shocking conviction in the “hush money” trial. The pro-Biden LA event, which followed a successful Trump fundraiser in the Bay Area, managed to bring in around $30 million for Biden’s re-election campaign.
According to a Los Angeles magazine report on what happened and was said during the event, the far-left actor George Clooney, a known detractor of the former president, clutched his pearls and said that democracy is on the ballot. Apparently, he warned that “there’s nothing riding on it [the election] except, you know, democracy.”
Also joining in the hysterical pearl-clutching about what a Trump victory would be like was Julia Roberts, who alleged, on a quite ominous note, that the future of our kids and grandkids is at stake with this election. “Just the future, our children’s future, our grandchildren’s future,” she reportedly said, according to the aforementioned magazine report. She continued, “That’s all that’s at stake right now. Just that.”
Others joined in as well. One was former President Obama, who said that Trump’s behavior should be “disqualifying.” “I think part of what has happened over the last several years is we’ve normalized behavior that used to be disqualifying,” the former president reportedly said. Continuing, he added, “We had the spectacle of the nominee of one of the two major parties, sitting in court and being convicted by a jury of his peers on 34 counts.”
Another actor who joined in was Jack Black. Wearing American flag overalls, he also insisted that “democracy” is at stake after giving a lengthy speech about himself. He began by saying, “A few days ago, my manager called me and said George Clooney and Julia Roberts wanted me to help out the president, and speak here tonight, and I said, ‘I am in. When and where?’ And then they said, ‘Jack, we know how busy you are. You don’t have time. Look at all the other events that are happening tonight that you already turned down: emcee at the Fliegelman bat mitzvah, the opening of the new Jack in the Box in Oxnard, judge at the second annual Imperial Valley Avocado Festival.’ You don’t see that on Meryl Streep’s résumé.”
Continuing, Black said, “I said, ‘I know I turned them down, but my president needs me.’ [Audience cheers.] Thank you. And then they hit me with the big one. They said, ‘Jack, you can’t go. You have nothing to wear. Your good suit is in the cleaners.’ Well, were they wrong? Because I had this to wear, my kick-ass American flag overalls — most patriotic outfit of all times. And that shut ’em up. There wasn’t much they could say after that.”
That’s when he got to the “democracy” bit, saying, “And when the president wins in November — yeah! — I’m pretty sure I’m going to get a sweet shout out in his victory speech for what I gave up to be here. Because when democracy is at stake, Jack Black answers the call. Mr. President, you’re welcome. That’s not the president. That’s not [Joe Biden], just a random dude. But I thought it would look better if I talked right to a guy.”
