WASHINGTON - Saying each had a role in helping preserve American democracy, resident Joe Biden awarded the nation’s second-highest civilian honor to a Capitol Police officer from Georgia and two former election workers from Fulton County.
Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, a mother and daughter, got some of the biggest applause of the event as the president recounted the abuse they bore after being falsely accused of ballot fraud by then-President Donald Trump and his allies. They later provided testimony to a House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol where Trump supporters breached the building and temporarily halted the certification of the 2020 presidential election.
“Both of them were just doing their jobs until they were targeted and threatened by the same predators and peddlers of lies that would fuel the insurrection,” Biden said. “They were literally forced from their homes, facing despicable racist taunts. But despite it all, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss found the courage to testify openly and honestly to the whole country and the world about their experiences and set the record straight about the lies and defend the integrity of our elections. Ruby and Shaye, you don’t deserve what happened to you. But you do deserve the nation’s eternal thanks for showing that dignity and grace of ‘we the people.’ ”
Moss and Freeman, as well as Capitol Police Officer Caroline Edwards, were among 12 honorees during a White House event Friday to mark two years since the Capitol breach. Biden presented each of them with the residential Citizens Medal.

This tactic as used by other Central planning and communitarian governments is an effective control mechanism. Have you seen any protests against the destruction by the Biden Administration?
Back when I was dabbling in first person shooter video games back in the Nineties, I recalled seeing something odd that I had no idea what it was. (all video gamers have known this for decades now, but back then, I had no idea)
In the video game, after someone would kill a player in the game, the player who did the killing would go stand over the head of the “dead” player’s “corpse”, and squat and stand, up and down, three or four times in rapid succession.
I would see it repeatedly, and it looked so bizarre, that I asked someone about it.
The person I asked told me they were disrespecting their fallen foe by “teabagging” him.
I understood immediately the motion looked like someone was dunking a teabag in and out of a cup of hot water, but still, was puzzled as to how this was disrespecting the fallen player, and said so. The person I asked spelled it out graphically for me. Male gentials being pushed in the face of a fallen foe. The modern day version of Achilles dragging his defeated foe Hector around behind a chariot.
I recall I burst out laughing aloud at the juvenile stupidity of it. But I also saw the rank, utter, and invincible contempt that one player had for another, and knew that with the skill disparity, that there was little chance they were ever going to get “teabagged” themselves.
But now, reading this, I realize the Left is teabagging Conservatives with this behavior. Not just on Election Fraud. With everything from the gutting and feminization of the military to the illegal spying and persecution of Trump and his associates, they are openly and contemptuously teabagging Conservatives.
And not just the Left. The RINO’s are doing it too.
Strange? It’s criminal!!! Never been so digusted in my life.
As a nation, we are done. The courts won’t hear any evidence. The fraud will continue. There is no course correction. Too many illegals getting our hard earned tax money. There’s only one box left I’m afraid.
Ruby Freeman....spit.
Georgia can be so very proud and Kemp thinks he deserves to be POTUS. Well, he probably knows how to steal his way to the top.
‘Protectors of democracy’
Such BS
He meant, Protectors of the Coup.
The Soviet Union has cleaner elections.
Once you can see the deeply dark nature of who is controlling the power and pulling the strings in the world at the moment, it all becomes easier to understand. They cloak themselves as though they are caring and tolerant. That is a ruse to wheel people in because idiots pay scant attention to these things they do. They turn on GMA and declare “Oh, Joe Biden is giving awards for people who stopped the insurrection”. I have a nitwit neighbor who said that. She is totally blind to the truth.
Yes they enjoy flaunting their wrongdoing in front of your face. Now what kind of human does that?
“Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, a mother and daughter, got some of the biggest applause of the event as the president recounted the abuse they bore after being falsely accused of ballot fraud by then-President Donald Trump and his allies.”
Freeman is the one who was caught on video slipping suitcases full of ballots in after the counting stopped on election night due to a “water main break”. Democrats are nothing if not liars and cheats.
Ruby and a huge number of others deserve prosecution and either hanging or about 30 years in prison without hope of parole. As the Bible says, we must purge the evil from among us.
Did Michael Byrd receive an award for murdering Ashli Babbit?
Man, what a brilliant comment! It enraged and depressed me simultaneously because it precisely nails a harsh truth. Your comment perfectly illustrates how truly vile and without mercy or goodness our domestic enemies are. It really hit me hard. Well done, Brother!
I know you get it from the tone of your post.
The Left not only ideologically wants to eliminate those who disagree with them, they take a great amount of glee in the psychological pain they cause to those who treasure and value this country.
I am reminded of the Chinese Communist party leaders lecturing the United States some years back when we withdrew from the Paris Climate Accord, solemnly talking in front of the cameras how much we need to treasure the Earth and treat it with care, and our withdrawal from the accord was a slap in the face of the civilized world.
Then, as soon as they were out of sight in their restricted areas, they gleefully did the Communist equivalent of high-fives and grins, knowing full well that the climate hooey is just another arrow in their quill of unrestricted warfare, which they are winning.
That is the Left in this country after realizing they could do anything they wanted with election fraud, nobody called them out on it, so...the way is open to them.
And they revel in it.
