Oops: George Clooney Loves Hillary, But Mistakes Benghazi as a 2008 Scandal

May 9th, 2015 12:11 PM

George Clooney is a big Hillary fan. He was asked by Fusion host Jorge Ramos “Are you going to be helping her for 2016?” Clooney replied, “Sure, whatever she wants, whatever I way I can help.” He added, I think she would be a tremendous candidate...I know her, and I think the world of her, and I think that I would be very happy if she were president.”

But Ramos pointed out “You said in 2008 she was the most  polarizing figure in American politics.” Clooney said, “She was...at the time.” But then he seemed to mess up the Hillary time line, suggesting Benghazi hurt her last presidential campaign, when that terrorist attack came on September 11, 2012:

“At the time I felt there were as many people show up to vote against her because she was Hillary [as in her favor]....There’ve been a lot of pieces brought up, that were just brought up because they knew she was going to run for president, later – Benghazi is this great scandal, well it’s not. So I find that she is – now, I think she’s ready to be president. I think she could have been a wonderful president before.”

As pointed out in our book Collusion, Clooney held a big $15 million fundraiser for Obama in May of 2012, but the liberal media never pushed that as an event held by and for the One Percent. Instead, it was gushed over as "Starmageddon."
