President Joe Biden will award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to 17 people, including former Rep. Gabby Giffords, Olympic gymnast Simone Biles and U.S. soccer player Megan Rapinoe, the White House announced Friday.
Biden will present the medals at a White House event on July 7. The medals, the country’s highest civilian honor, are awarded at the discretion of the president to people who have made a significant cultural impact or great contributions to the country or world.
Biden will also awards medals to actor Denzel Washington; Khizr Khan, the father of a fallen Muslim U.S. Army captain; and Sandra Lindsay, a New York nurse who was among the first in the country to receive the Covid vaccine.
Three other recipients will be awarded the medal posthumously: the late Sen. John McCain, who served in the Senate and House for decades and became the GOP’s presidential nominee in 2008; Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple, Inc.; and Richard Trumka, who served as president of the AFL-CIO.
Giffords, who served as a congresswoman from Arizona, was shot in at a constituent event in her state in 2011. She survived and became a major advocate on gun violence prevention efforts. Biles is the most decorated gymnast in American history, with 32 Olympic and World Championship medals, and Rapinoe is an Olympic gold medalist and two-time Women's World Cup champion.

The worst of them is Megan Rapinoe. A vile America hating bitch and that POS Biden gives her this. It really as if he wants to spit in our faces.
outside of Denzel ... all scum
Senile Joe knows McCain is dead, right?
I don’t see any there.
This is the third term of the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
I don’t think they are worried about elections anymore.
Affirmative action medal / lesbian division.
Hmm? He left off the list Lizard Cheney and Joseph Stalin? Or did I miss those names?
Devaluing and debasing. Liberals destroy everything they touch.
Why would Biden select Megan Rapinoe to receive a medal? For what?
Tha pandering never ends. As far as I know, none of these people have done anything to advance the cause of freedom. Rapinoe actually seems to hate this country.
Addendum: I forgot about McCain. He is the exception in this group, but he was probably only added because of his feud with Trump.

Well, there’s nothing uglier than RabidHo , except a blue RabidHo holding her breath till she gets something.
I’d give her a medal for just shutting the hell up too.
A freedom from RabidHo medal.
So, he is giving his allotment of Medals of Freedom overwhelmingly to living folks who are not white guys and three dead white guys, all of them jerks, McCain, Jobs and Trumpka.
Husband is up for re-election this year. All politics, all the time.

“Medal of Freedom now reduced to Crackerjack box prize status.”
I was thinking the same thing. Similar to CA drivers licenses and voter registeation-like candy.”
Yes, just like the Nobel Prize going to Obummer before he did anything.
That’s in next year’s batch, along with George Floyd and Trayvon Martin.”
