President Joe Biden will present the nation’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, to 17 people, including actor Denzel Washington, soccer star Megan Rapinoe, gymnast Simone Biles and the late John McCain, the Arizona Republican with whom Biden served in the U.S. Senate. Biden will also recognize Sandra Lindsay, the New York City nurse who rolled up her sleeve on live television in December 2020 to receive the first COVID-19 vaccine dose that was pumped into an arm in the United States, the White House announced Friday.

Megan Rapinoe?! That means the Medal of Freedom has lost all meaning. She’s as unpatriotic as there is. Didn’t this person take a knee or something like that? Who chooses the recipients?

Why is George Floyd not on the list? This calls for a nation wide mostly peaceful protest. S/off

Here's a good one on the list: "Diane Nash. A founding member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, Nash organized some of the most important 20th-century civil rights campaigns and worked with King".
Bunch of lefties!

OH, good! We'll get to hear the fatuous, shrill daughter of the sniveling John McCain (whose military service is suspect at best) go on and on and on about Daddy. Listen for a swipe at President Trump coming from the fluffy daughter of JMcC.

The only thing John McCain did in the last 40 years to warrant this is die.

Maybe Simone can ask him why the FBI didn’t punish any of the agents that lied during the investigation into Larry Nassar.

Why not give them all an Oscar and Pulitzer Prize too why you're at it. Might as well make it a trifecta in phony awards. They are as meaningless as Biden's election.

Not so #13. McLame bashed Republicans every day. He was the democrats favorite pet republican until he ran against the lightbringer. He regained their favor when he went after Trump....and died.

#2 is correct. Denzel Washington is worthy of the highest honors. He's a great American. I'm 100% on board with that.
The rest? It is to curse.

Any honor, medal or award presented to ANY recipient by president J R Biden means NOTHING unless you LIKE to receive awards presented by a delusional and demented communist. So, SHOW OFF that award so everyone will know what a TOOL you are, comrade. The Hollywood contingent will show it off ANYWAY because THAT’s what NARCISSISTS DO.

Notice another event always surfacing to take as much attention away from the USA’s special day of patriotism the Fourth of July. This medal means less than nothing when Democrat Presidents give it out.
I LOVE that the biggest left wing disaster of a Democrat president is the one giving it to McCain. I am sure we will be treated to emotional Meghan McCain videos and interviews - as many as she can manage to do. I will not be watching.

Presidential Medal of Freedom is about as worthless now as a Nobel 'Peace' Prize. A Crackerjack's prize means more to me now.

President Truman created the Medal of Freedom, to honor civilians who made big contributions to the war effort.
John Kennedy converted into a way for him to rub shoulders with celebrities.
Dementia Jo will cop some feels, sniff some hair, and wander around the stage.
And if presidents want to honor angry lesbians, they should be given a Hilldo.

Another honor cheapened to the level of a Thank You for Your Participation award.

Denzel is the only one who deserves this award. The rest are/were nasty America hating liberals. Simone Biles should never have gone to the Olympics, as I suspect she knew she would not compete. She should have given the spot to somebody else who might have actually won something.

Just like the Oscars. Liberals giving liberals awards. Conservatives need not apply. The left has turned this medal into a participation trophy.

Rapinoe will probably take the medal, throw it on the ground and stand on it, just like she does the American flag.
