Furious Hollywood Moguls Lash Joe Biden Fundraiser Jeffrey Katzenberg: ‘He Lied.’
Hollywood’s Democratic powerbrokers were in civil war over Joe Biden’s 2024 re-election bid Friday as his top fundraiser was accused of “agewashing” the embattled president.
A group of studio bosses, agents and billionaires more used to fighting for Oscars than over politics was engaged in a feud with vast amounts of cash for Biden and other Democrats on the line.
They pursued it by briefing, often anonymously, against their common enemy: Biden's cheerleaderJeffrey Katzenberg, the former DreamWorks CEO and co-founder of the ill-fated Quibi. He had assumed the mantle of Biden’s fundraiser-in-chief with particular fervor. “Age is his superpower,” he was known for saying about Biden, drawing parallels to the enduring careers of octogenarians like Harrison Ford and Mick Jagger.
