WASHINGTON, 22 JULY 

“F**k him and everybody around him,” Hunter Biden, son of former US president Joe Biden, said during an interview about actor and prominent donor for the Democratic Party, George Clooney. 

He was criticising Clooney over his 2024 op-ed in The New York Times on former president Joe Biden. 

In the op-ed, Clooney had urged the Democratic Party to select a new presidential nominee instead of Joe Biden ahead of the 2024 polls. 

According to reports, in an interview with Channel 5 in the US, Biden’s son offered his perspective on Joe Biden’s poor performance in the debate against now President Donald Trump.  

The debate with Trump preceded Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 re-election campaign.

While recalling events that ended Biden’s campaign and political career, Hunter used offensive and profane words to refer to Clooney. 

Referring to director Quentin Tarantino’s alleged criticism of Clooney as an actor, Hunter said, “F**g George Clooney is not a f**g actor”.

He seemed aware of how he sounded when he said “F*k him and everybody around him,” as he followed it with “I don’t have to be f**g nice”.
