While George Clooney has made his support for Hillary Clinton and distaste for Voldemort—er, Donald Trump—well-known, his much better half has held her tongue...until now. 

Amal Clooney spoke up in an interview with the BBC on Monday, criticizing he-who-must-not-be-named for his xenophobic attitude and foretelling the dawn of a bright new day when he gets whooped by a lady. 

"I mean, when you listen to what the leading candidate on the Republican side has been saying about building walls, about excluding Mexicans, and saying there has to be a complete shutdown on all Muslims coming in," Clooney said, it's obvious that this election is "very critical, perhaps more than in many other elections that have happened for a very long time." 

Clooney continued: 

If you actually look at what he specifically says in that now infamous speech about Muslims, he kept saying, "They only want jihad; they don't believe in our way of life; they don't respect our system." And when he says "they" ... And, you know, you watch the media coverage afterwards and people should've been saying, "Do you mean the 1.5 billion people around the world around the world who fit that description? Do you mean the people who are U.S. citizens, who are members of your military, the vast majority of whom are not extremist or violent in any way?" 

But Clooney is hopeful that good will triumph over evil in the end. "If, at the end of all of this, he gets beaten by the person who becomes the first female president of the United States, then I think that would send a very positive message from the electorate back to him as to what they really think about that point of view," she said.
