Bannon Calls On Trump To Rescind The Presidential Medal Of Freedom Awarded To Soros: ‘It’s A Disgrace’

Former Trump White House Chief Advisor Steve Bannon is calling on the president-elect to rescind the Presidential Medal of Freedom that was given to left-wing billionaire financier George Soros by President Biden on Saturday.
Soros was one of 19 recipients of the nation’s highest civilian honor after President Biden nominated him on Friday. Other recipients included Hillary Clinton, actor Michael J. Fox, children’s science presenter Bill Nye and four people who received the word posthumously, including Robert F. Kennedy Sr. and George Romney.
While Soros, 94, did not attend Saturday’s ceremony, his son Alex accepted the prestigious award on his behalf. The elder Soros has largely stepped away from politics over the last several years and placed Alex in control of his vast empire in 2023.
Over the past several decades, Soros has funneled more than $32 billion towards left-wing causes and candidates across the western world. The Soros empire primarily flows through his Open Societies Foundation, while the family has played a particularly outsized role in getting progressive district attorneys elected in America’s largest cities.
Shortly after Biden’s head-scratching list of nominees was announced, Bannon called on President-elect Trump to rescind the award when he takes office later this month.
“My recommendation to President Trump is that you notify today that you’re going to sign an executive order on Monday, one of the very first actions, is to rescind the Presidential Medal of Freedom that’s being given to George Soros today. Rescind it,” he said.
The “War Room” host went on to state that awarding the nation’s highest civilian honor to a “demonic” figure like Soros was disgraceful and serves to undermine the significance of the award. “It is a disgrace that a demonic individual like that has gone out of his way to try to destroy this country, destroy this country, would actually be given to mock this constitutional republic, to mock this constitutional republic, which he hates and is dedicated his life to destroying, that we would be presenting him, awarding him the highest civilian honor that you could give,” Bannon added.
“President Trump today ought to come out and say, ‘hey I’m putting out an executive order right after I take my hand off the King James.’ With everything else we got to do all stuff either number number one is going to be rescinding sources as a symbol. Rescind it.”

Bannon also said something about ripping or yanking the medal right off his neck.

Soros should be tried for treason, not given a medal.
To: lee martell
That would be awesome if he could. Rescind and classify Soros as a terrorist which he is.

We could have a lottery for who gets to do that. I would buy a whole bunch of tickets.

Could it serve a dual purpose? Deport him? Isn’t there a warrant out for his arrest from Israel that’s decades old?
I forgot there ever was a George Romney...how time flies when you’re having fun....time is flying but I don’t know where the fun is!

Is that why his POS Son is appearing to get the medal?

Yes. Too many people do not know anything about Soros and The Stupid Party keeps it that way.

As things are, it is Cho-By-Den’s dishonor alone.
Better than recinding, might be to make significant — and much better appointments — ones more suited to the honor.

Resident Dementia also gave the award to Khizr Khan. Remember that guy? "Let those terrorists into the country Mr. Trump! It's in the constitution!" Huh??
He was protesting Trumps plan to ban travel from terror sponsoring countries.
Trump never attacked this guy, yet Khan allowed himself, his wife and his hero son be exploited in one of the most disgusting displays I have ever seen at a political convention, all for the benefit of Satans daughter Hillary F. Clinton.

We needed a patriot to give him a bullet instead that vindictive, treasonous prick Biden gives him a medal. As Elon said “we don’t hate these people enough”.
