Nikki Haley Criticizes Biden for Giving George Soros Medal of Freedom: Says It’s a ‘Slap in the Face’ and Wants Trump Back Soon

Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley spoke out strongly against President Joe Biden for giving the Presidential Medal of Freedom to billionaire George Soros, a well-known progressive activist and philanthropist.

Soros, who is 94 years old, has been a controversial figure for years due to his financial support for liberal causes and candidates.

The announcement of the award sparked anger among some conservative figures. Steve Bannon, Elon Musk, and others criticized Biden’s decision, calling it disrespectful to the American people.

At the award ceremony, Soros’ son, Alex Soros, accepted the medal on behalf of his father, who was unable to attend.

Haley, who is also a political opponent of former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election, shared her frustration on social media.

She said, “Giving George Soros the Presidential Medal of Freedom is a huge insult to America, especially after Biden reduced the sentences of murderers and pardoned Soros’ son.

With 16 days left until Trump’s inauguration, we need to be concerned about what else Biden might try to push through. January 20th can’t come soon enough.”

The White House explained their decision to honor Soros, highlighting his remarkable life story. Soros was born into a Jewish family in Hungary and survived the Nazi occupation.

After escaping to freedom, he moved to America, where he became a successful investor and philanthropist. The White House statement praised Soros for supporting democracy, justice, equality, and freedom, calling him an example of how individuals can stand up against abuse of power and protect the rights of others.

Despite this praise, Soros has long been criticized by conservatives for his involvement in politics. In recent years, he has faced backlash for funding campaigns for district attorneys in several U.S. cities, which critics argue has influenced how justice is handled in those areas. Soros’ financial contributions to progressive causes have made him a major target of the political right.

This latest decision by Biden to honor Soros has only deepened the divide, with conservatives seeing it as a provocative move that goes against their values. Meanwhile, Biden and his supporters argue that Soros deserves recognition for his lifelong commitment to promoting freedom and justice around the world.
