On Thursday morning, Mika Brzezinski of MSNBC attacked the former president Barack Obama, accusing him of being behind George Clooney’s harsh New York Times op-ed in which he demanded that President Joe Biden be replaced as the Democratic nominee.
“This wasn’t George Clooney,” she declared.

“It just wasn’t, come on,” she continued.
