Meanwhile, the Democrats attempt to claim they're not the Party of Soros.
President Joe Biden rewarded one of the Left's most influential and notorious donors Saturday, giving the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros.
The White House announced the honor in a list of 19 recipients, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and LGBTQ megadonor Tim Gill.
Biden framed Soros' funding as philanthropy in service of "democracy" and "social justice."
"George Soros is an investor, philanthropist, and founder of the Open Society Foundations," the White House explained. "Through his network of foundations, partners and projects in more than 120 countries, Soros has focused on global initiatives that strengthen democracy, human rights, education, and social justice."
Soros, a Hungarian-American billionaire investor, has funneled more than $15.2 billion through his Open Society Foundations (now run by his son Alex), which has awarded more than 50,000 grants worldwide, according to the World Economic Forum.
The move to elevate the Queen of Benghzi and the communist/pro-crime propagandist Soros baffles many, including even Brett Fahr-vrah.
Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre was among those who reacted to President Biden giving out Presidential Medals of Freedom on Saturday.
Biden was scrutinized on social media for handing out the awards to Hillary Clinton and George Soros.
Critics pointed out Clinton's handling of the war in Libya and the attack on United States government facilities in Benghazi, Libya, as well as her controversial private email server for government business, which prompted former FBI Director James Comey to say publicly that Clinton had mishandled classified information.
The award to Soros, a Democratic megadonor, was slammed based on the billionaire's campaign funding of progressive district attorneys who have been soft on crime, which they say has led to crime waves in blue cities.
Favre noticed as well.
"What words would you use to describe the White House medals that were given out because I'm honestly speechless," he wrote on X.
The Daily Wire recently reprinted this article from August 12: How George Soros Controls His Prosecutors.
The Soros network 'remains in the driver seat' after getting prosecutors elected, according to the Media Research Center.

As we prepare to enter the new year, we're taking you back to some of The Daily Wire's best reporting from 2024. This article was originally published on August 12.
George Soros and his son, Alex, have spent at least $117 million since 2016 to reshape America's justice system. They've been successful: three in 10 Americans now live under a Soros prosecutor.
But the Soroses' influence doesn't end on Election Day. After Soros-backed prosecutors take office, the family's apparatus tells them what to do, documents show.
The Media Research Center obtained nearly 8,000 pages of internal documents through public records laws that show how a Soros-funded group called Fair and Just Prosecution (FJP) "directed Soros prosecutors to manipulate the rule of law concerning illegal immigration, drugs, abortion, election integrity, capital punishment and laws against childhood sex changes."
MRC's yearlong investigation suggests that Soros maintained influence over his chosen candidates after their elections were over. FJP had the Soros-backed attorneys sign 33 pledges to not enforce certain laws -- including election integrity measures and immigration laws -- and attend more than 50 meetings or "convenings," some of which were "mandatory." FJP pressed prosecutors to let criminals off the hook if they are black, having them pledge to "reduc[e] racial disparities in case outcomes by at least 20%."
FJP's influence can be seen on some of the most high-profile Soros prosecutors. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg sought to indict former President Donald Trump for his role in the January 6 protests after the group said it wanted to hold Trump "accountable." Since-ousted San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin was in contact with FJP on a daily basis. On 20 occasions, FJP sent prosecutors "templates" of press releases they should send out, as well as social media posts to "adapt."
"Being a Soros prosecutor means extensive, free access to expert political consulting firms, complete with detailed polling and field-tested messaging strategies," the MRC's report found. "FJP remains in the driver seat, though, even going so far as to draft social media posts for its prosecutors so they can better coordinate their messaging."
At the meetings, Soros prosecutors got talking points and marching orders. At one meeting, political consultants told the assembled prosecutors to frame ignoring property crime as "reprioritizing resources" to "solve more murders." The consultants cited polling that showed this messaging was more popular than simply acknowledging that prosecutors were not prosecuting lesser crimes.
The Soros operation also pushed prosecutors to use mental or physical health specialists instead of police by sharing polling that showed that the idea was popular.
Soros has poured the kind of money normally reserved for statewide campaigns low-profile local prosecutor races. The Hungarian billionaire generally targets primary elections in blue areas, funding radical progressives in their races against more moderate Democrats. Once in office, these "progressive prosecutors" often decline to enforce laws they find objectionable.
Over the weekend, Biden's dementia caused a temper tantrum and the use of an actual profanity I've sworn off -- g-d*** -- because he's such a pious Catholic or whatever.
