Hollywood actor and Democrat megadonor George Clooney is once again playing kingmaker from his ivory tower, this time tossing his celebrity weight behind Maryland Governor Wes Moore for a potential 2028 White House run. In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Clooney gushed over Moore, calling him “spectacular” and claiming the first-term governor is “levitating above” the rest of the Democratic field.
Yes, you read that right—levitating. Because nothing says “serious political endorsement” like magical metaphors from a guy whose most notable leadership experience is directing actors on a movie set.
Clooney, who’s made headlines before for urging Joe Biden to bow out of the 2024 race (months before the President finally stepped aside amid growing health concerns), says Moore has what it takes to lead the Democratic Party into the next election cycle. His reasoning? A smooth press conference after the Key Bridge collapse, a couple of military deployments, and—wait for it—his leadership at the George Soros-funded Robin Hood Foundation.
That’s right. Clooney couldn’t resist highlighting Moore’s ties to left-wing billionaire George Soros, a name synonymous with globalist agendas, soft-on-crime prosecutors, and radical social experiments that have gutted communities across the country.
“He’s smart. He speaks beautifully. He’s a proper leader,” Clooney said, as if America hasn’t already seen what happens when we put style over substance. And while Clooney gushed about Moore’s “beautiful” speeches, he conveniently skipped over a not-so-beautiful truth: Moore was caught lying about being a Bronze Star recipient during a 2006 White House fellowship application. The Maryland governor brushed it off as an “honest mistake.” Funny how those kinds of “mistakes” only seem to go one way—always overstating accomplishments.
But facts haven’t stopped the Hollywood-D.C. echo chamber from circling the wagons. With Biden out of the picture and Vice President Kamala Harris polling underwater, the Left is desperately searching for someone—anyone—who can look and sound like a president without actually having to deliver results. Clooney seems to believe that a resume padded by Soros money and mainstream media fawning is enough.
The push for Moore also reveals the Democratic Party’s growing identity crisis. While Americans are struggling with inflation, open borders, skyrocketing crime, and foreign chaos, Democrat donors are focused on camera-ready candidates who can give polished speeches and toe the progressive line. Forget real-world experience or integrity—just say the right things, check the right boxes, and don’t challenge the donor class.
Clooney admitted that Democrats are polling “very poorly,” and he’s right—because Americans are waking up. They’re tired of empty promises, virtue signaling, and the elite choosing their leaders behind closed doors.
As for 2028, voters may be ready for a leader who puts America first—not one who puts George Soros on speed dial and can “speak beautifully” while the country burns.
