President Biden awards former Rep. Liz Cheney and Rep. Bennie Thompson, the leaders of Jan. 6 committee, the Presidential Citizens Medal for their "exemplary deeds of service."
The White House announced 20 people across the nation would receive the Presidential Citizens Medal on Thursday, including Cheney and Thompson, who Biden lauded as "intrepid" and holding a "steadfast commitment to truth."
"Throughout two decades in public service, including as a Congresswoman for Wyoming and Vice Chair of the Committee on the January 6 attack, Liz Cheney has raised her voice—and reached across the aisle—to defend our Nation and the ideals we stand for: Freedom. Dignity. And decency. Her integrity and intrepidness remind us all what is possible if we work together," the White House said in its statement of Cheney.
