Steve Bannon, who served as Chief Advisor to Trump, is calling on the incoming president to cancel the Presidential Medal of Freedom that President Biden recently bestowed upon George Soros.
Soros, who has donated over $32 billion to left-wing causes, was one of 19 recipients of the honor, which was accepted by his son at the ceremony.
Bannon criticized the decision, calling Soros a “demonic” figure and arguing that awarding him such a prestigious honor undermines its significance.
He suggested that Trump should make rescinding the award one of his first actions in office.
“My recommendation to President Trump is that you notify today that you’re going to sign an executive order on Monday, one of the very first actions, is to rescind the Presidential Medal of Freedom that’s being given to George Soros today. Rescind it,” he said.
The “War Room” host went on to state that awarding the nation’s highest civilian honor to a “demonic” figure like Soros was disgraceful and serves to undermine the significance of the award. “It is a disgrace that a demonic individual like that has gone out of his way to try to destroy this country, destroy this country, would actually be given to mock this constitutional republic, to mock this constitutional republic, which he hates and is dedicated his life to destroying, that we would be presenting him, awarding him the highest civilian honor that you could give,” Bannon added.
“President Trump today ought to come out and say, ‘hey I’m putting out an executive order right after I take my hand off the King James.’ With everything else we got to do all stuff either number number one is going to be rescinding sources as a symbol. Rescind it.”
