Another group of individuals recently received the nation’s highest civilian honor, though some of those included in the White House ceremony weren’t unanimously seen as worthy of the medal.
Specifically, Joe Biden’s decision to hand out a Presidential Medal of Freedom to failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and far-left billionaire George Soros sparked swift backlash on Capitol Hill.
According to The Hill:
In total, the outgoing commander-in-chief dished out 19 medals on Saturday. Apart from Soros and Clinton, “Vogue” editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, actor Denzel Washington, chef José Andrés, scientist Bill Nye, superstar professional soccer player Lionel Messi and NBA legend Earvin “Magic” Johnson, alongside 11 others, received the honor.
Many of those elected officials chose to sound off via X posts:
Joe Biden awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom—our nation’s highest civilian honor—to Hillary Clinton and George Soros.
What a joke.

Giving Soros the Medal of Freedom is outrageous but not surprising.
Democratic politicians support criminals more than cops. They want violent criminals back on the streets.
If you want less crime: vote Republican.

Apparently, all it takes
