George Clooney feels he is being used as a ‘scapegoat’ in the furious blame game over who could have cost Kamala Harris the election – and will now take a step back from politics.

The Hollywood star, 63, threw his support behind Harris after penning a blistering op-ed on why Joe Biden would cost the Democrats the win if he didn’t abandon his campaign, but it still wasn’t enough to prevent an historic victory for Donald Trump.

Clooney has since been criticized by Democrats for his influence during the election, with some claiming Harris' loss was his fault.

The Oscar-winner is ‘disheartened’ by the backlash, with insiders claiming he did not immediately endorse Harris because he felt the Democrats should have ‘taken a step back’ to weigh up their options.

‘George feels that the backlash he is getting for Kamala losing is not at all warranted,’ a source told DailyMail.com exclusively. ‘He thinks it is completely unfair to try and make him a scapegoat for her loss.

I’m not the brightest guy so please feel free to enlighten me. But what exactly has George Clooney done that inserted himself into “politics “? Has he actually made a contribution or does he just say a few things when a mic is in his face?

They are getting a hard lesson that they are not as important as they thought they were...

Also, he was the point man for huge amounts of fundraising. That's how he inserted himself into politics.

Isn't his wife someone of importance or political influence in Europe or some other country?

Kind of reminds me of the scene where John Goodman (the cyclops) clubs him in the head with a stick.
"What's going on big Dan?" After watching his buddies get fricked up.

Doubt he's really seen the error of his ways, but it would be great if he could start a trend here...regardless of which side of the aisle you sit on and whatever athlete, actor, entertainer, or famous person we're talking about, you should really make up your own mind rather than listening to people who make their living in a fantasy bubble and/or pretending to be other people.

I happen to think he's a really good actor, but I wish he would keep his mouth shut about politics. In a broader since, acting, or at least doing it really well, is probably a much harder craft than any of us may appreciate. But that doesn't mean that these people really know anything about much else.

What you need to understand is that, in George Clooney’s world, the world is all about George Clooney.

Who cares what Hollywood thinks of politics.....
They do not live in the real world, so their opinions are useless.
Same with athletes, musicians, and rich politicians for that matter......

The Elites are a poor judge of real-life matters.
