Biden trolls MAGA with Presidential Medals of Freedom for Hillary Clinton, George Soros and rich donors By NIKKI SCHWAB, CHIEF CAMPAIGN CORRESPONDENT FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 05:59 EST, 4 January 2025 | Updated: 06:07 EST, 4 January 2025 e-mail View comments President Joe Biden trolled MAGA with his final list of Presidential Medal of Freedom recipients - while also awarding some of his family's wealthy benefactors. Among those receiving the highest civilian honor at a ceremony later Saturday include Hillary Clinton , the former first lady, senator and secretary of State, who was President-elect Donald Trump 's 2016 White House rival.
Biden will also give the award to George Soros, considered the boogeyman of Democratic super donors and restaurateur Jose Andres, who pulled out of a Trump hotel project due to the Republican's anti-immigrant comments, prompting a years long legal battle. Soros is getting the award, the White House said, due to his foundation's work to 'strengthen democracy, human rights, education, and social justice.' Andres is being awarded the distinction due to his charity World Central Kitchen's efforts to feed people in war zones and in the aftermath of natural disasters.
'A proud immigrant dedicated to building longer tables, his World Central Kitchen has revolutionized the way food aid reaches communities affected by natural disasters and conflict around the world,' the White House said. The 82-year-old will give a posthumous award to Robert F. Kenn.
