Online outrage as Biden set to award Hillary Clinton, George Soros with Presidential Medal of Freedom | Fox News
The Oprah-ization of handing out medals (and YOU get a medal! And YOU get a medal!) to Clinton and Soros comes not long after Biden gave a blanket pardon to his son, Hunter, after repeatedly promising not to do so. And after he awarded the Presidential Citizens Medal to Liz Cheney and Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., for their work on the Jan. 6 Committee that barred cross-examination of any handpicked "witnesses." And for this part, in 2004, Thompson voted against the certification of the 2004 presidential election won by George W. Bush.
