Biden Awards Presidential Medals of Freedom

President Joe Biden has announced the recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, including controversial figures Hillary Clinton and George Soros, which has sparked outrage among MAGA supporters. The White House described the honorees as individuals who have made significant contributions to society, with Soros recognized for his contributions to democracy and social justice, and Clinton acknowledged for her political legacy. Other notable recipients include actor Denzel Washington, U-2's Bono, and chef Jose Andres, who has been commended for his humanitarian efforts. Critics have lambasted the list, arguing that it reflects a left-leaning bias and questioning the merit of some honorees, particularly non-Americans like soccer player Lionel Messi. Additionally, Biden will posthumously honor Robert F. Kennedy and former Michigan Governor George Romney, further igniting political tensions. The ceremony is seen as a final act to assert Democratic values as Biden concludes his presidency.
