Hollywood power brokers pushed for Biden to step down. Now they’re stepping up for Harris
Barely a month ago, a veritable who’s who of Hollywood A-listers turned out for President Joe Biden. The event, organized by former DreamWorks Animation Chief Executive Jeffrey Katzenberg, drew George Clooney, Barbra Streisand and Julia Roberts.
Jimmy Kimmel moderated an interview with Biden and former President Barack Obama at the gathering in downtown Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater. Sheryl Lee Ralph sang and Jack Black entertained the star-studded crowd wearing a pair of American flag overalls.
The evening raised more than $30 million, the largest one-night campaign haul in Democratic history.
But behind the fawning praise and laughs, cracks began to appear in the public façade.
Some of the most powerful members of Hollywood, who had steadfastly supported the president, harbored some serious reservations about the 81-year-old’s mental acuity.

These fuckers better be behind her. With open checkbooks, or their AMEX Centurion cards.

It's so hilarious (if inexplicable) the right thing Harris replacing Biden is an unpopular move among the Democrats who voted in the primaries.

Very angry about how this played out.
I will fall in line behind Nancy Pelossi and follow her instructions but it really makes me mad the President was removed from the ballot.

Trumper, I think real Democrats know how to spell Nancy Pelosi's name correctly.
p.s.--some free advice for you:

I'm not a dumper because I misspelled the former Speaker of the House's surname.
Pelosi advises to get behind the VPOTUS. I am doing so without any hesitation.
But I am still very bitter about the POTUS' removal from the ticket.
I should not have to explain any of this, but you think you are cute and funny and you are just a fucking troll.
