President Joe Biden has presented the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and left-wing billionaire George Soros. Biden also honored 17 others during the ceremony.

On Saturday, the president presented the Presidential Medal of Freedom to individuals he believes have made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values or security of the United States, world peace or other significant societal, public or private endeavors.

The 19 recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom are listed below.

  • Hillary Rodham Clinton, former First Lady and former Secretary of State.
  • Michael J. Fox, the “Back to the Future” movie star 
  • Earvin “Magic” Johnson, a Los Angeles Lakers legend
  • Ralph Lauren, a fashion designer
  • Lionel Messi, the MLS star and captain of Argentina’s World Cup-winning soccer team 
  • Denzel Washington, the Academy-Award-winning actor
  • Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue
  • William Sanford Nye, the television presenter better known as “Bill Nye the Science Guy

Many people online are furious with who Biden chose to honor.

SpaceX founder Elon Musk took to X to share that it’s “a travesty that Biden is giving Soros the Medal of Freedom.”

Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson (R-La.) stated that it is a “disgrace” that Biden was spending his final weeks at the White House celebrating politicians that tried and failed to take down President-elect Donald Trump.

SEE: https://www.oann.com/newsroom/abc-presidential-debate-moderator-linsey-davis-was-a-member-of-the-same-sorority-as-kamala-harris/; republished below in full, unedited, for informational, educational, & research purposes:

Linsey Davis, one of the ABC News moderators who relayed questions in Tuesday’s presidential debate, has been revealed to be the sorority sister of Democrat candidate Kamala Harris.

Viewers of the debate noticed Davis’s numerous attempts to “fact-check” Republican candidate Donald Trump, while allowing Harris to easily slide through the debate without any pushback in real time.

Harris joined the sorority during her undergraduate days at Howard university in 1986, graduating with a bachelor of arts (BA).

Davis, on the other hand, joined the sorority as an undergraduate at the University of Virginia, where she graduated in 1999 with a bachelor’s in psychology.

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is the first African American sorority in the United States, founded in 1908.

“The fact that Kamala Harris and Linsey Davis are members of the same sorority (Alpha Kappa Alpha – Howard and UVA respectively) is relevant with respect to potential bias,” an X (Twitter) user wrote.

In one of the loudest interjections in the debate, Davis attempted to fact-check Trump’s abortion claim live, following Trump referencing former Virginia Governor Ralph Northam’s 2019 comments about aborting babies after birth.

“There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born,” Davis responded to Trump’s comments, prompting conservatives to point out that six states as well as the District of Columbia (DC) do not have any limits in place on the procedure.

“Biased ABC anchor Linsey Davis teams up with Vice President Kamala Harris to attack former President Donald Trump on abortion,” wrote Tom Olohan, a writer for the conservative Media Research Center.

“ABC is making a huge mistake by trying to fact check this live. They’re only proving how biased they are. Harris fabricated an attack on Trump over IVF. ABC sat there and said nothing,” wrote Ari Fleischer, a former White House press secretary during the Bush administration.

“Linsey Davis completely interjects herself into the debate to help Kamala. "No surprise at all there,” OutKick founder Clay Travis wrote in a post on X.

Harris was not fact-checked when she falsely claimed that Trump was behind the Heritage Project’s “Project 2025,” and she also falsely claimed that Trump wanted to ban IVF treatment, so the former GOP president was forced to fact-check herself in real time during the debate.

Following the debate, the Harris campaign called for a second debate, which Trump responded to by stating that he does not believe there needs to be a second debate, as he won the first. Harris previously disregarded a proposed Fox News debate, which would not have been as unfair and biased in her favor like ABC News’ recent event.

“When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, ‘I want a rematch,’” Trump wrote on Trump social.
