From the New York Post: President Biden will award the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, to former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, billionaire Democratic megadonor George Soros and several others at a White House ceremony on Saturday.
The White House said Clinton, Soros and the 17 other recipients of the prestigious award are “individuals who have made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States, world peace, or other significant societal, public or private endeavors.”
“President Biden believes great leaders keep the faith, give everyone a fair shot, and put decency above all else,” the White House said in a statement. “These nineteen Americans are great leaders who have made America a better place. They are great leaders because they are good people who have made extraordinary contributions to their country and the world.”
Clinton, 77, “made history many times over decades in public service,” the White House statement declared. Clinton was the subject of an FBI investigation over her use of a private email server, during her time as Secretary of State, but the FBI never charged her.
While running for president in the 2016 election against Donald Trump, Clinton and her campaign were involved in funding the infamous and now-debunked “Steele dossier” that falsely accused Trump of colluding with Russia.
Soros, 94, shelled out over $175 million to Democrats during the 2022 midterm elections, and funneled at least $60 million in 2024 to House and Senate Democrats and other left-wing causes through his Democracy PAC, the NY Post revealed.
Soros has also funneled tens of millions of dollars to groups supporting anti-Israel protesters on college campuses, and has spent millions more to help elect far-left district attorneys in major cities across the country.
Below is the full list of recipients of the awards Biden will be handing out on Saturday, according to the White House press release:
- José Andrés, the celebrity chef and founder of the World Central Kitchen charity group
- Bono, the frontman of rock band U2
- Ashton Baldwin Carter, the former Defense Secretary (posthumous)
- Hillary Rodham Clinton
- Michael J. Fox, the “Back to the Future” star
- Tim Gill, an entrepreneur whose work has advanced LGBT rights
- Jane Goodall, the renowned primatologist and anthropologist
- Fannie Lou Hamer, the late civil rights leader and founder of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party
- Earvin “Magic” Johnson, a Los Angeles Lakers legend
- Robert Francis Kennedy, the slain former New York senator and US Attorney General (posthumous)
- Ralph Lauren, the visionary fashion designer
- Lionel Messi, the MLS star and captain of Argentina’s World Cup-winning soccer team
- William Sanford Nye, the television presenter better known as “Bill Nye the Science Guy
- George W. Romney, the late businessman and former Michigan governor (posthumous)
- David M. Rubenstein, the billionaire co-founder of The Carlye Group
- George Soros
- George Stevens, Jr., an author and playwright
- Denzel Washington, the Academy-Award-winning actor
- Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue
The White House will be live-streaming the event:
Outrage is erupting on social media. Below is just a sampling:
Entrepreneur Shaun Maguire wrote, “Magneto is getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Soros has equated himself to God and is the primary reason we have rampant crime in blue cities. Hillary Clinton financed the Steele Dossier, planting total lies that Trump was owned by Russia. Jan 20 can’t come soon enough.”
“Such a travesty,” Elon Musk agreed.
Such a travesty

🚨DISGUSTING: Biden Presents Presidential Medal Of Freedom To George Soros
Today Joe Biden presented a Presidential Medal of Freedom to far-left billionaire George Soros. Soros has donated tens of millions to antisemitic groups like JVP and IfNotNow.https://t.co/inbAMmuVyu

This is absolutely abhorrent. They are just giving away everything Americans hold sacred on the way out the door.
This is why there should be a pause on policies and procedures like this after an election is lost.
Call it a purgatory rule or something

He eroded the legal system and facilitated much more crime in almost every major city
But, he also donated and funneled a ton of money to the Democratic Party
The Biden admin is using its last days to repay favors. An insult to the public

In 1998…George Soros travelled to Haiti with Hillary Clinton.
There are very credible claims that state the Haitian Child-trafficking Empire is real.
