Biden Annnounces Presidential Medal of Freedom Recipients — George Soros Inclusion Sparks Conservative Outrage: ‘Most Evil Man on the Planet!’

 

President Joe Biden is awarding 19 people with the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the inclusion of names like George Soros and Hillary Clinton on that list has led to swift conservative backlash.

The expansive list includes entertainers like Bono and Michael J. Fox, as well as people being recognized for their recent humanitarian work, including chef José Andrés, whose World Central Kitchen has been providing assistance in Gaza.

The full list of honorees is: José Andrés, Bono, the late Ashton B. Carter, Hillary Clinton, Michael J. Fox, Tim Gill, Jane Goodall, the late Fannie Lou Hamer, Earvin Johnson, the late Robert F. Kennedy, Ralph Lauren, Lionel Messi, Bill Nye, the late George W. Romney, David M. Rubenstein, George Soros, George Stevens Jr., Denzel Washington, and Anna Wintour.

Billionaire Soros has few fans among conservatives thanks to his far-left politics and expansive donations to national and local elections.

“So people who destroyed freedom getting the Freedom Award!” Fox News’ Rachel Campos-Duffy declared on Fox & Friends on Saturday while reporting the news.

“Wow, this means medals for losers. First, Liz Cheney, now election denier Hillary Clinton, and the most evil man on the planet, George Soros!” Joe Concha added.

“He gets the sociopath award, not the Medal of Freedom!” Campos-Duffy said, recommending Soros should get the “Deep State award” instead.

Conservatives also took to social media to blast Biden over the recognition of Soros.

Elon Musk called the decision a “travesty” and linked to his appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience where he blasted Soros and declaring the Democratic Party backer “hates humanity.”

“Soros and Hillary to get nation’s highest civilian award from illegitimate Biden regime today,” Steve Bannon wrote on Gettr.

On his WarRoom podcast, Bannon recommended an “exorcism in the White House” to “get the evil demons out” once Trump takes office.

Others expressed plenty of outrage over the pick, including filmmaker Matthew Marsden and author and Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams.
