Well this is rather odd. You have Megan Rapinoe, known for kneeling before the American national anthem during soccer games that no one watches will receive the Medal of Freedom from idiot Biden, something that’s usually awarded to someone who actually loves this country. This isn’t the case for Rapinoe, who hates this country with a passion and those who dare disagree with her on a pollical issue. She also was hired by Subway to be a spokesperson for their crappy sandwiches.
President Joe Biden announced Friday that soccer star and Left-wing political activist Megan Rapinoe, who famously took a knee during the playing of our national anthem, will be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor.
The honor will be presented 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,” a press release from the White House said.
“President Biden has long said that America can be defined by one word: possibilities. These seventeen Americans demonstrate the power of possibilities and embody the soul of the nation – hard work, perseverance, and faith,” the statement continued. “They have overcome significant obstacles to achieve impressive accomplishments in the arts and sciences, dedicated their lives to advocating for the most vulnerable among us, and acted with bravery to drive change in their communities – and across the world – while blazing trails for generations to come.”
Describing Rapinoe, the White House said the athlete “is a prominent advocate for gender pay equality, racial justice, and LGBTQI+ rights.”
The 36-year-old is known for the leftist activism, including her choice to take a knee multiple times during the playing of the national anthem before soccer games. During last year’s Tokyo Olympics, for example, U.S. women’s soccer team captain Rapinoe took a knee before the game with other players to “protest racism,” though the protest was not during the anthem.
