Biden Awards Medal of Freedom to 19, Including Soros for $32 Billion in Philanthropy, Amid Backlash
Jan 4, 2025, 04:54 PM
President Joe Biden has awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, to 19 individuals, including George Soros and Hillary Clinton. The announcement has sparked significant conservative backlash, particularly over the inclusion of Soros, known for his philanthropy and support for progressive causes. Soros, who has donated over $32 billion to promote democracy, human rights, education, and social justice globally, was recognized for championing 'equality and equity.' Critics, including Elon Musk, have labeled the decision to honor Soros as a 'travesty.' The Medal of Freedom is awarded to those who have made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States, world peace, or other significant societal endeavors.
