Stephen Colbert Defends Clooney for Leaving Biden Fundraiser Early: ‘He’s Out Protecting Gotham as Nipple Man’ | Video

After the Oscar-winner called for POTUS to drop out of the 2024 race, the White House responded with a stamina flex

In George Clooney’s bombshell op-ed Wednesday calling for Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, he cited what he said was the President’s diminished capacity at a recent fundraise.

The White House responded by claiming Clooney left that fundraiser hours before Biden did — the implication being that POTUS has more stamina than the Oscar-winner. But Clooney got some high profile defending on Thursday night from Stephen Colbert, who during his “The Late Show” monologue offered up an amusing justification for why Clooney ducked out of the race. Involving the worst-ever “Batman” costume.

“Yesterday, Clooney penned a bombshell op-ed calling for a new nominee and citing as evidence what he described as a diminished Biden that he had witnessed at a recent Hollywood fundraiser,” Colbert explained.
