Biden to award highest civilian honor to George Soros, Hillary Clinton



President Joe Biden named 19 recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Saturday, including former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and billionaire globalist George Soros.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian honor that is awarded to those who have made significant contributions to the "prosperity, values, or security of the United States, world peace, or other significant societal, public or private endeavors," according to the White House press release.

"President Biden believes great leaders keep the faith, give everyone a fair shot, and put decency above all else," the press release reads.

As Biden's presidential term comes to a close, he has also commemorated former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming with the Presidential Citizens Medal on Friday.

Biden praised Clinton for having "made history many times" and Soros for his "global initiatives" that he claims "strengthen democracy, human rights, education, and social justice" around the world.

"Secretary Clinton made history many times over decades in public service, including as the first First Lady elected to the United States Senate." the press release reads. "After serving as Secretary of State, she became the first woman nominated for president by a major United States political party."

"George Soros is an investor, philanthropist, and founder of the Open Society Foundations," the press release reads. "Through his network of foundations, partners and projects in more than 120 countries, Soros has focused on global initiatives that strengthen democracy, human rights, education, and social justice."

As Biden's presidential term comes to a close, he has also commemorated former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming with the Presidential Citizens Medal on Friday. Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, sparked controversy throughout her career for voting to impeach then-President Donald Trump and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.

Other recipients include actors, athletes, and advocates.

Some philanthropists include celebrity chef José Andrés, the late civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer, tech founder and LGBTQ advocate Tim Gill, and billionaire co-founder David M. Rubenstein. Biden is also awarding some former politicians like the late Secretary of Defense Ash Carter, the late U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, as well as the former Michigan governor and Secretary of Housing George W. Romney.

Some figures in pop culture will also be awarded, such as five-time NBA champion Earvin "Magic" Johnson, Argentinian soccer star Lionel Messi, scientist and television personality Bill Nye, and primate researcher Jane Goodall. Other creatives like rock musician Bono, actors Michael J. Fox and Denzel Washington, filmmaker George Stevens Jr., as well as fashion icons Ralph Lauren and Anna Wintour will receive the medal.

The awards will be presented on Saturday.

Jill Biden’s Frumpy Grammys Dress Is Not ‘Stunning’ Or ‘Brilliant,’ It’s A Sign Of Civilizational Decline

It doesn’t matter that Jill Biden looked like she was wrapped in aluminum foil, the media excessively fawned over the first lady.

Teen Vogue staffer who opposed hiring of Alexi McCammond for offensive tweets previously tweeted the N-word



A senior Teen Vogue staffer who opposed Alexi McCammond's hiring as editor-in-chief because of old offensive tweets has her own history of questionable tweets.

McCammond was hired by Condé Nast to be the new editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue, but then decade-old tweets she wrote as a teenager were unearthed. Many staffers at Teen Vogue found the offensive tweets to be "racist and homophobic," which were hurtful towards Asian and LGBTQ communities. Staffers "privately expressed concerns" to Condé Nast's global chief content officer Anna Wintour and CEO Roger Lynch, according to a report from the Daily Beast. More than 20 Teen Vogue staffers also wrote a letter to management to express their concern about McCammond's hiring.

Following the cancel culture firestorm, McCammond and Condé Nast parted ways.

McCammond announced her resignation from the Condé Nast magazine over the tweets she made when she was 17 years old.

"I became a journalist to help lift up the stories and voices of our most vulnerable communities. As a young woman of color, that's part of the reason I was so excited to lead the Teen Vogue team in their next chapter," McCammond said. "My past tweets have overshadowed the work I've done to highlight the people and issues that I care about — issues that Teen Vogue has worked tirelessly to share with the world — and so Condé Nast and I have decided to part ways."

McCammond was a political journalist at Axios, an NBC and MSNBC contributor, and won an award from the National Association of Black Journalists for being the emerging journalist of the year.

It turns out that one of the Teen Vogue staffers who signed the letter advising management not to hire McCammond because of her racist tweets also wrote offensive tweets in the past. Christine Davitt, a senior social media manager at Teen Vogue, reportedly used the N-word in several tweets from a decade ago.

On March 8, Davitt posted the letter from the Teen Vogue staff to management on her Instagram with the caption: "So proud of my @teenvogue colleagues. The work continues…"

After McCammond announced she would be resigning, Davitt tweeted, "[Exhales the deepest sigh I have ever sighed]," according to the Post Millennial.

Now, Davitt's tweets from 2009 and 2010 have resurfaced, which use the N-word. In two of the tweets, she appears to use the slur while talking to a friend. The third tweet reads, "I love the contradictory nature of the phrase 'white n****.'"

Davitt calls herself a "queer fat filipinx femme in brooklyn" in her Instagram bio. Fox News reported, "Davitt says in multiple tweets that she is of mixed Irish and Filipino descent."

Davitt's own magazine published an op-ed in 2019 titled" "Stop Using the N-Word If You're Not Black." The Teen Vogue article lectured their readers, "There's been much debate within the Black community about the N-word and just how much good our supposed 'reclaiming' of it can actually do. And in moments like this, that feels like a valid point. But one thing that shouldn't be up for dispute is who gets to use it. And if you ain't Black, that ain't you."

Davitt has since locked her Twitter account and protected her tweets.
