This prestigious civilian honor is typically given to those who have made significant contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States. Soros and Clinton received this recognition along with seventeen others in the closing days of Biden&#8217;s administration. A White House statement praised these nineteen individuals as exceptional leaders who have positively impacted America and the world. Soros was characterized as a &#8220;philanthropist&#8221; dedicated to global initiatives promoting democracy, human rights, education, and social justice. Meanwhile, Clinton was noted for her historic roles in public service, including being the first First Lady elected to the Senate and the first woman nominated for president by a major political party.<\/p>\n<p>Other honorees included actor Denzel Washington, musician Bono, and fashion designer Ralph Lauren\u2014reflecting a common practice among presidents to recognize cultural figures with this award. However, critics argue that awarding Soros and Clinton amounts to blatant favoritism towards political allies. Soros has been known for investing billions into advancing progressive causes in both America and globally while supporting Democratic campaigns; thus some view this award as a reward for his financial backing. Additionally, he has funded district attorney candidates who avoid prosecuting violent crimes or have targeted political opponents like Donald Trump through legal means.<\/p>\n<p>Clinton&#8217;s tenure includes overseeing crises such as the Benghazi attack on American diplomats and facing numerous personal scandals throughout her lengthy political career\u2014such as using a private server for official communications or allegations surrounding potential corruption linked to her foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Critics contend that neither Soros nor Clinton has genuinely improved conditions in America or worldwide; instead they argue their legacies are marked by harmful ideologies and corruption that have worsened societal issues\u2014suggesting they deserve prison sentences rather than national honors<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2386508,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Picture-88.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[3620,47923,47924,34730,32624],"class_list":["post-2386507","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-biden","tag-civilian-honor","tag-final-days-in-office","tag-george-soros","tag-hillary-clinton"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Picture-88.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2386507","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2386507"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2386507\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2386511,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2386507\/revisions\/2386511"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2386508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2386507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2386507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2386507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
