The Biden administration’s Presidential Medal of Freedom award recipient list is causing some conservative media pundits to foam at the mouth.

On Saturday morning’s broadcast of Fox & Friends, host Rachel Campos-Duffy told co-host Joe Concha to “gird” himself before reading out some of the names on the list.

Campos-Duffy said, “Today, Biden is going to present—get this Joe, gird yourself—Hillary Clinton, George Soros and 17 other people are going to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom award!”

She added, “So, people who destroy freedom, getting the freedom award?!” Campos-Duffy is married to former Real World contestant and President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for transportation secretary, Sean Duffy.

Without the faintest hint of irony, Concha then replied, “Wow, this reads like medals for losers, right? First, Liz Cheney, then election denier Hillary Clinton, and then the most evil man on the planet, George Soros.”

Campos-Duffy responded in kind about Soros: “He deserves the sociopath award! Not the medal of freedom! I thought about some different awards it could be… how about, the Deep State award? The globalist award?”

Soros’ extensive funding of progressive political causes around the world, in particular public accountability and journalism projects, have made him a favored target among Republican officials, far-right commentators and conspiracy theorists.

His nomination naturally provoked backlash from other pundits online, with Elon Musk describing it as a “travesty” and Steve Bannon lamenting that “Soros and Hillary to get nation’s highest civilian award from illegitimate Biden regime today.”

A rare moment of cohesion between those two, it seems, with Bannon only recently threatening to “rip [Musk’s] face off” amid the ongoing MAGA civil war over H-1B visas for skilled migrant workers.
