George Clooney on Writing Biden Op-Ed: ‘When I Saw People on My Side of the Street Not Telling the Truth... ‘

EXCERPT:

CLOONEY: "Well, I don‘t know if it was brave. It was — it was a civic duty because I found that people on my side of the street — you know, I‘m a Democrat, was a Democrat in Kentucky, so I get it — when I saw people on my side of the street not telling the truth, I thought that was time to."

TAPPER: "Are people still mad at you for that?"

CLOONEY: "Some people. Sure. It‘s okay. You know, listen, the idea of freedom of speech, you know, the specific idea of it is, you know, you can‘t demand freedom of speech and then say, 'But don‘t say bad things about me.'"
