Sen. Mitch McConnell, DOD Sec. Lloyd Austin Win Reagan ‘Peace Through Strength Award’
Breitbart ^ | 12 Dec 2024 | Olivia Rondeau

The winners of this year’s Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute “Peace Through Strength Award” are none other than Biden administration Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

Austin, who has been criticized for implementing “woke” military policies as the Department of Defense (DOD) leader, and McConnell, who just went through yet another major health scare while on the job at the Capitol, were recognized for their “extraordinary contributions to the state of our national defense” in a press release from the Reagan institute.

“After his service in uniform, Secretary Austin continued to serve his country, leading our military as America faces an unprecedented array of challenges. Leader McConnell has dedicated his career to advancing American strength and promoting freedom around the globe,” said Roger Zakheim, the institute’s director.

“In their own ways, each of this year’s awardees embody peace through strength in a time of transition, and I look forward to hearing their thoughts on the threats facing America and the world as they transition out of some of our country’s most senior leadership posts,” Zakheim added.

I had heard that the Institute had metamorphized into something that Conservatives find quite unrecognizable. This caps it.

An absolute travesty and insult to one of our greatest presidents.
Reagan must be spinning in his grave.

There is no peace and the strength is the power of the stench of this insult to thinking Americans.
