Watch live as President Joe Biden bestows the second highest civilian medal on Liz Cheney and Bennie Thompson, leaders of the congressional investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol riot who Donald Trump has said should be jailed for their roles in the inquiry.

Biden will award the Presidential Citizens Medal to 20 people in a ceremony Thursday at the White House, including Americans who fought for marriage equality, a pioneer in treating wounded soldiers, and two of the president’s longtime friends, former Sens. Ted Kaufman and Chris Dodd.

He gave a medal of freedom to George soros? Wow the incompetence of this administration

It is my belief that she deserves this recognition from President Biden, regardless of political affiliation. I think we can all agree that she acted appropriately in seeking to determine the truth of the events of January 6th, 2021, despite the widely available evidence. It is disheartening to consider that any American would deny the occurrence of these events. We know they happened, and hopefully, such events will never be repeated.

"Bennie G. Thompson, for lifelong dedication to safeguatding our Constitution". 👏

Why was there witness tampering and deletion of testimony?

When Bono heard the medal was tax free, he jumped at the chance. Tax dodger.

[markfrazer]
