Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre was among those who responded to President Biden’s presentation of the Presidential Medals of Freedom on Saturday. Biden faced criticism on social media for awarding the medals to Hillary Clinton and George Soros.
Critics on various social media platforms highlighted Clinton’s involvement in the handling of the Libya conflict and the attack on United States government facilities in Benghazi, Libya. Additionally, they raised concerns about her use of a controversial private email server for government affairs, which led former FBI Director James Comey to publicly state that Clinton mishandled classified information.
The decision to award Soros, a prominent Democratic donor, was met with disapproval due to his financial support for progressive district attorneys who have been accused of being lenient on crime. Critics argue that this leniency has contributed to an increase in crime rates in various Democratic-leaning cities.
Favre, who has been known for his support of former President Donald Trump, also expressed his thoughts on the matter. In a statement on X, he questioned the appropriateness of the medals awarded by the White House, expressing his bewilderment.
Favre’s political stance was demonstrated when he spoke at a rally for Trump in Wisconsin and criticized Biden for allegedly referring to Trump supporters as “garbage” in the final stages of the election campaign. He pledged that Trump would address any issues that Democrats may have caused during their time in office.
Among the 19 recipients of the Medal of Freedom was soccer star legend Lionel Messi. However, Messi was notably absent from the ceremony due to a scheduling conflict, as reported by USA Today.
