Joe Biden is known for getting along with politicians on both sides of the aisle, but one former Republican congressman wasnt happy about the vice president being awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama on Thursday.
Former Republican Rep. Tim Huelskamp of Kansas took to Twitter on Thursday night to voice his disapproval, tweeting: For once, @JoeBiden and I agree: he doesnt deserve this honor.

What did Biden do other than check up on the Presidents health every morning. Biden was a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for 34 years and chairman or ranking member for 12. Despite his sometimes seemingly uncontrolled comments and/or behavior he probably was able to offer some useful advice on foreign policy.

Everybody has to get a trophy according to the left’s way of thinking.

Biden didn't deserve the MOH. Awarding it to Biden devalues the award. Joe Biden is not a nice guy, despite what the MSM says.

He got people to stand up....and buy shotguns.

Hussein also gave the Medal to Mikulski, Lugar, and Dingell, among others.

“Under fire” from ‘People’?
Sounds like he’s the one who deserves a medal.

Maybe it was a mistake.
They may have meant the medal for ‘free gropes’.

Huelskamp is a douche nozzle, but in this case he is correct. Joe Biden never did a damn thing for the country that didnt benefit him. He never had a job in his life. He held elected office his entire adult life.
Why do you say that? He was one of the most conservative people in Congress and got drummed out because of it. The Kansas voters believed the lies about him and replaced him.

What the heck? Why not throw in a Nobel Prize while they’re at it. That award has dropped in merit since awarded to Obama.

my Father earned the Pres Medal of Freedom

Old Yeller said: “Why do you say that?...... “
This is what lost his election:
Chris Wallace asked Huelskamp what he’s going to do if it comes down to Clinton vs Trump and he answers, “I don’t know. I’ll need to talk to my wife.”
