Bannon Calls On Trump To Rescind The Presidential Medal Of Freedom Awarded To Soros: ‘It’s A Disgrace’
Trending Politics ^ | 1/5/2025 | Cullen McCue

Former Trump White House Chief Advisor Steve Bannon is calling on the president-elect to rescind the Presidential Medal of Freedom that was given to left-wing billionaire financier George Soros by President Biden on Saturday.

Soros was one of 19 recipients of the nation’s highest civilian honor after President Biden nominated him on Friday. Other recipients included Hillary Clinton, actor Michael J. Fox, children’s science presenter Bill Nye and four people who received the word posthumously, including Robert F. Kennedy Sr. and George Romney.

While Soros, 94, did not attend Saturday’s ceremony, his son Alex accepted the prestigious award on his behalf. The elder Soros has largely stepped away from politics over the last several years and placed Alex in control of his vast empire in 2023.

Over the past several decades, Soros has funneled more than $32 billion towards left-wing causes and candidates across the western world. The Soros empire primarily flows through his Open Societies Foundation, while the family has played a particularly outsized role in getting progressive district attorneys elected in America’s largest cities.

Shortly after Biden’s head-scratching list of nominees was announced, Bannon called on President-elect Trump to rescind the award when he takes office later this month.

“My recommendation to President Trump is that you notify today that you’re going to sign an executive order on Monday, one of the very first actions, is to rescind the Presidential Medal of Freedom that’s being given to George Soros today. Rescind it,” he said.

The “War Room” host went on to state that awarding the nation’s highest civilian honor to a “demonic” figure like Soros was disgraceful and serves to undermine the significance of the award. “It is a disgrace that a demonic individual like that has gone out of his way to try to destroy this country, destroy this country, would actually be given to mock this constitutional republic, to mock this constitutional republic, which he hates and is dedicated his life to destroying, that we would be presenting him, awarding him the highest civilian honor that you could give,” Bannon added.

“President Trump today ought to come out and say, ‘hey I’m putting out an executive order right after I take my hand off the King James.’ With everything else we got to do all stuff either number number one is going to be rescinding sources as a symbol. Rescind it.”

“The (60 Minutes) interview George Soros doesn’t want you to see”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCjkd44p_lE

This is where he publicly excuses himself for collaborating with the Nazis and expresses no sense of guilt for doing so.

No way should he have received this honor, and Biden is a ******** ****** for giving it to him. And Biden and his cronies have the gall to accuse Trump of being a Nazi. /spit

I’d settle for a “ceremonial recission”......a ceremony, a speech, the national anthem, the whole works. To celebrate taking the medal back...and taking America back. Then a party. Trump can do a lot here.......almost unlimited. Just needs come creativity and vision.

A few more days and it’s party time!

In a free America, there will be an asterisk beside every action taken by Joe Biden. If there is to be no free America, then such awards are meaningless.

Rescind hillary’s medal, too! Remember Benghazi, and the bombing of Serbia!

Bill Nye the Atheist Guy—and perhaps several others—deserved no medal either.

As for Nye’s program—science programs for kids used to be much better, with no propaganda!

“Could it serve a dual purpose? Deport him? Isn’t there a warrant out for his arrest from Israel that’s decades old?”

Hungary has an arrest warrant out for Soros if he ever sets foot in their country. Soros is Hungarian and tried to undermine Hungary’s democratic gov’t. They hate him and will jail him in a nanosecond.

Prez Trump should deport Soros back to Hungary where Hungary’s leader Victor Orban (he is just like Trump) will make short shrift of Soros. Unfortunately Soros’ son and Heir is just as bad or worse than his old man and will continue to try to destroy our country.
