"Washington politicians or someone with some leverage needs to grow a spine and tell the truth that's in plain sight," she added, that Biden is dealing with "obvious cognitive issues."
"He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate," Clooney added, referencing Biden's faltering and disastrous performance at the June 27 presidential debate on CNN.
