George Clooney’s and the Left’s Recent Comparison of Trump to McCarthy is Gaslighting at its Finest
If the left didn’t have double standards these individuals would have no standards at all. Since 2016 the failing and corrupt Democratic party has prosecuted Trump and his allies, impeached the current President twice, investigated him and his supporters relentlessly, and even used state and local officials has as Letitia James and Fani Willis to target him. The January 6 hearings were also a complete and utter disgrace designed to shame Trump’s supporters and instill fear in the MAGA movement.
The persecution of the 47th President and the MAGA movement by Biden and his political allies at the federal and state level is by far the closest the US has come to resurrecting the disturbing memory of McCarthyism, a time when Americans were often unfairly attack and had their lives and careers destroyed because of political views these individuals had. The term McCarthyism is associated with fear, and the worst part about what occurred in the 1950s was the effort to make Americans fear their own citizens as much as they feared foreign enemies.
Known Democrat and left-wing political commentator George Clooney is starring in a play about Edward Murrow focusing on McCarthyism that is set to debut on Broadway soon. This play is one of the first to be aired on TV, and the actor recently sat down for an interview with CNN news anchor Anderson Cooper, where he compared Trumpism to McCarthyism. The comments by the man who like many other out-of-touch Hollywood elites is gas lighting at its finest. President Trump and his allies have been targeted, prosecuted, and attacked, more than any other political movement in US history. The January 6th hearings were clear effort to instill fear and shame into all Trump supporters by making them think the few people on January 6th who broke the law represented the entire movement. The events around January 6th are also in doubt now, since multiple Federal informants have been found to be in the crowd that were leading the protest that day as well, and still no murders occurred.
Hillary Clinton referred to Trump supporters as deplorables, Biden called the MAGA movement a bunch of trash, and the January 6th hearing was clearly designed to smear the powerful effort to take the government back for Americans as well. The left also weaponized the Justice Department and the rule of law to try to attack Trump and his supporters as well. The original image of Paul Manafort being led in handcuffs shortly after Trump won in 2016 was yet another pathetic effort by the left to instill fear in Trump supporters. Trump also endured multiple assassination attempts because of his political views and the reckless rhetoric that was employed against him by our leaders in power. The Democrats clearly tried to portray MAGA as the enemy of the people, not different than any foreign threat.
When a political party becomes corrupt the silence of key leaders and supporters of that group expresses agreement. Silence can communicate complicity, and the fact that Clooney and other powerful figures who back the Biden regime refused to speak out when Trump and his supporters were attacked, persecuted, and even subjected to violence, show the complete lack of decency or values on the left. The same out-of-touch elites who remained silent when Trump and his movement was being attacked in McCarthy like ways are now trying to play the victim because the President won in 2024. The lying and gaslighting of the left never stop, and Clooney’s recent comments are yet another reminder of how delusional the left has become about both the Democratic party as well as the country as a whole.
