Famous actor, Hollywood icon and Democratic donor George Clooney recently expressed his displeasure with President Joe Biden, even calling the White House to complain.
The issue stems from Biden's criticism of the International Criminal Court's decision to seek an arrest warrant for Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Clooney's wife Amal is involved with the ICC.

The ICC aims to indict Hamas leaders, identified as terrorists, as well as Israeli leaders such as Netanyahu for war crimes and crimes against humanity. President Biden strongly condemned the move, saying, “The ICC prosecutor's request for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders is outrageous. And let me be clear: Whatever this prosecutor may be implying, there is no equivalence between Israel and Hamas. We will always stand with Israel in the face of threats to its security.”
Biden's statement was actually, and surprisingly, somewhat spot on, but it angered Clooney who went straight into helicopter parent mode. Or, in this case, the helicopter spouse way? Let's roll with it.
Clooney's anger and entitlement as a major Democratic donor led him to call the White House. He specifically worried about the ICC losing funding due to possible sanctions, which would of course affect Amal's work.
All the drama comes before Clooney attends a high-profile fundraiser for Biden in Los Angeles. It will be interesting to see the dynamic between Clooney and Biden at the event.
