Biden ripped for 'slap in the face' to crime victims after awarding Soros Medal of Freedom: 'Disgusting'

"Soros has been a major donor to far-left politicians and has promoted policies that undermine the rule of law in our country. Given Biden's embrace of these policies and the funding Soros has provided, this looks like nothing more than an effort to reward and keep happy one of the Left's major donors (and his family).  It cheapens what should be a prestigious award and gives everyday Americans yet another reason to be disgusted by the current Administration's actions."

The award, the nation's highest civilian honor, is given to individuals who have made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values or security of the United States, world peace or other significant societal, public or private endeavors, the White House said in a statement.

The White House said that Soros' philanthropy across the world has strengthened democracy, human rights, education and social justice.

"Few have risen to the level of criminal justice arch-nemesis as Soros has. This is a slap to countless victims of crime enabled by Soros DAs. Truly disgusting."

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House and Open Society Foundations but did not receive a response. 

Clinton, the White House said, made "history many times over decades in public service," becoming the first female senator from New York and the first first lady to hold elected office.
