George Clooney says Trump family belongs in the 'dustbin of history'
The actor has been publicly critical of President Trump
The "Midnight Sky" actor George Clooney highly condemned the Trump family following the US Capitol riots.
George Clooney said the entire Trump family belongs in the "dustbin of history" during a sneak preview of a Jan 15 podcast by KCRW's 'The Business,' reports Yahoo.
"It's devastating to watch the People's House being desecrated in that way," he told host Kim Masters.

"But it is also a tremendous overreach in a way that everybody kept waiting for...what's the straw that breaks the camel's back? And it just seemed like that line kept getting moved and moved and moved and outrage just didn't even matter anymore," the actor added.
"None of that seemed to matter. This mattered. This puts Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka, all of them, into the dustbin of history. That name will now forever be associated with insurrection," the actor added.
The actor has been publicly critical of President Trump, pointing to his refusal to universally endorse face masks, as one reason for the spreading coronavirus pandemic — now totaling 22 million US cases.
This week, the president was banned from Facebook and Twitter after many blamed him for provoking violence before the Capitol attacks. Following announcements by the social media platforms, a splintered Hollywood celebrated and slammed the decisions.
