President Biden awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the U.S. government's highest civilian honor, to 18 individuals, including figures who have drawn criticism and conspiracy theories, such as Hillary Clinton, Bono, George Soros, and Robert F. Kennedy. The selections sparked debate, with some praising the honorees' achievements and others condemning them as politically motivated.
the 2024 Presidential Medal of Freedom, the U.S. government’s highest civilian honor, to 18 people. On his way out the door, Biden almost seemed to be trolling his successor and his supporters with the honorees, who included some of the right’s greatest modern villains: Hillary Clinton, Bono, and George Romney among them. Then there was Robert F. Kennedy , Bill Nye “the Science Guy,” and Jane Goodall—curious choices as science skeptic RFK Jr. prepares to take over America’s federal health regime.
To some, the medal was due recognition for Soros’ decades of philanthropic efforts through his Open Society Foundations to promote more democratic, humane, and just societies around the world. To others, it was a sad little end to the Biden administration: a man who did not manage to stop Donald Trump from returning to power awarding a man who worked toward promoting liberal democracy only to see it wane worldwide in what are likely his final years alive.
