WATCH: Biden Awards Polarizing Billionaire George Soros Medal of Freedom to Son Alex Soros Amid Outrage
Mediaite ^ | 1/04/25 | Kipp Jones

Posted on 01/05/2025 2:32:46 AM PST by Libloather

Progressive billionaire and Democratic Party activist and megadonor George Soros received the nation’s highest civilian honor from President Joe Biden at a Saturday White House event.

Soros was one of 19 people to receive a Presidential Medal of Freedom, joining the likes of Hillary Clinton, Bill Nye, and Magic Johnson during a ceremony that was broadcast live in its entirety by CNN.

Alex Soros accepted the award on behalf of his 94-year-old father, embracing the president as the White House celebrated the billionaire investor and progressive activist, saying of him:

Accepting on behalf of George Soros is Alex Soros. The Presidential Medal of Freedom is awarded to George Soros. Born into a Jewish family in Hungary. George Soros escaped Nazi occupation to build a life of freedom for himself and countless others around the world. Educated in England, he settled in America as he became an investor and philanthropist, supporting key pillars of open societies, rights and justice, equity and equality. Freedom now and in the future. His inspiring generosity reminds us all of our capacity and our obligation to stand up to the abuse of power and to be guardians of democracy and all people yearning to be free.

Soros’s contributions to progressive causes – as his support for progressive district attorneys in urban areas as of late – have made him a target for conservatives for years. Many on the right lashed out after the White House announced the billionaire would receive the award.

The Medal of Freedom should go to the arrested, but not charged, leftist thugs. Kinda like Hunter.

Gee, maybe we should start a list of suggested people President Trump could hand out the award when he leaves office. Of course the suggested person has to be one that would absolutely make the libs go crazy!

Alex Soros accepted the award on behalf of his 94-year-old father, as Biden propagandized the billionaire on the tazpayers' dime, saying: ".Born into a Jewish family in Hungary. George Soros escaped Nazi occupation to build a life of freedom for himself and countless others around the world. .......he settled in America as an investor and philanthropist, supporting key pillars of open societies, rights and justice, equity and equality.

He already gave one to Rush. Maybe that was the inspiration for this?

Pretty petty and childish though. I usually give them more credit than that.

Soros is considered a criminal with an ‘arrest on sight’ order in several countries.

Of COURSE Biden would award him a medal.

So now we give the highest civilian award to a Nazi collaborator?
If Joe Biden isn’t rubbing our faces in his version of fecal America, I don’t know what it is that he IS doing.

That’s exactly what Biden is doing, i.e., “rubbing our faces in it”. Or, as Dan Bongino would say, “giving us the double-barreled middle finger”.

But who is actually making those decisions? MAYBE he is, but I believe it’s Obama and/or Jill.

I’d also like to take a moment to recognize those uh honorees who are no longer with us, including the young man speaking.

By the way.

Kids rule in this house, OK. Don’t worry about it.

And you all think I’m kidding I’m not.
