Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) argued that the decision to give Democratic mega-donor George Soros the Presidential Medal of Freedom was not solely made by President Joe Biden, and suggested it was largely made by the president’s staff and even a few of his family members.
Soros was one of 19 people to receive the nation’s highest civilian honor on Saturday, which Biden distributed just over two weeks before he leaves the White House. The president’s honoring of Soros has been slammed by many Republicans, with Donalds calling it “crazy” and citing how Soros is “on the absolute-left” of politics in the United States.
“So for Joe Biden and his team — and I stress ‘and his team’ because, let’s be honest, Maria, do we really know what Joe Biden is thinking from day-to-day?” Donalds said on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. “We simply do not, and it’s a tragedy for our country. And that’s not to play politics, it’s actually sad to see what’s happened to him from a health perspective over these years. But this is his staff and, frankly, a part of his family that are managing all this stuff from behind the scenes.”
The Medal of Freedom means nothing now. It’s just a participation in life prize, everybody gets one. Just like the losers of sports getting a loser trophy. Awesome ?
Medal… this guy should be charged with sedition
