  1. Someone who under achieves giving a medal to another underachiever. The girl who stepped in for her when she choked & took gold for her country deserves a medal but we hear nothing about her whatsoever. Why?

  2. Solo cumpliendo con su agenda el viejito senil

  3. Leftists of today in power only care about themselves. You think not? What about Brittney Griner? Americans in Afghanistan? This is all to push forward with their own agenda. Don’t fall for it.

  4. That’s what the left is doing today. Rewarding people that are unremarkable

  5. Uhhhh u do know Elon and Biden are trying to end the 🌏right? Getting rid of gas and oil is only the start. Look it up u know it all
    Damnation

  6. He didn't put on backwards?

  7. A medal for abandoning her team? Yup… Sounds liberal to me. Duck tail and run at the first sign of stress…. Unworthy of this, but, we know what type of people the left caters to.

  8. BOOOOO! Biden is a JERK!!!! Honoring people who are quitters and among those who disgrace the national athem and flag. If a football player quit in the middle of a game would be honored. POLITICAL OPTICS BY PHONY, BALONY MENTALLY COMPROMISED DEMS.

  9. CONGRATULATIONS!!! 🎊 👏 💐

  10. She’s so talented! Congrats to her!

  11. Young lady in the ranks of Mohamed Ali, Michael Jordan, and all the other GOATs! CONGRATULATIONS!!

  12. Young lady in the ranks of Mohamed Ali, Michael Jordan, and all the other GOATs! CONGRATULATIONS!!

  13. President Biden, WHY DOES YOUR ADMINISTRATION ALLOW china & the ccp TO BUY U.S. LAND?! I am a U.S. citizen & I DEMAND answers!!!

  14. She is a quieter that gave her meddle to a white girl that took her place Because of her mental issues that she trained her whole life for really come on

  15. Lol A quitter a sell out Do you really think she deserves any of that🤣 she sold her soul good job

  16. Sniff , Sniff , S N I F F ..

  17. Fold when your team needs you most..then get a medal? Such a weak and pathetic generation..

  18. biden reminds me of jimmy saville so creepy ewww well done simone !!!

  19. Biden passes out Medal of Freedom like tic tacs to dilute the value of those which were rightfully deserved. He pollutes everything he touches. He gave the obligatory ones which were deserved and then added his favorite choices who didn’t deserve it.

  20. God Bless 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

  21. Simone Biles? Lets reward quitters… 🙄 UNBELIEVABLE!! 💩💩

  22. These people are really full of themselves!

  23. Why would someone who bailed on the Olympics last year (she took a spot from someone else who could’ve represented our great country !) get an award?!?!
    She victimized herself over some relationship issues and embarrassed our country ! It’s not heroic to back out of commitments last minute because “you don’t mentally feel well”
    That’s part of athletics ! The mentally tough should be at the olympics. All sports are about mental strength combined with physical / technique !!! This is disgraceful just Biden trying to pander to “woke snowflakes “

  24. Of course this administration would honor quitters.

  25. Why? This medal has become meaningless now.

  26. Good thing she didn’t get the twisties

  27. Adult participation award. But, wait , at least the kids who get the awards finish their season.

  28. Good thing everyone was over the age of 18

  29. Well it just goes to show you that he may have an outside chance to be employed as a greeter after these 4yrs end quickly please for gods sake

  30. This woman turned her back on the U.S. flag and the Star Spangled Banner and the U.S. She was among others who came forward to report a sexual predator among the U.S. Olympics. So, why was she given this honor?

  31. What did she actually do?

  32. Democrats only do things for votes.

  33. 😂 her quote “ don’t give up on the bad days “…….😂😂😂you still get a medal when you do.

  34. So glad Simone received that medal. She let the world know the mental challenges that athlete go though while competing. She did it with courage and dignity.

  35. They’ll give out these medals to anyone… even crybaby quitters like Biles

  36. They only give that award to famous people and not to the average person who have gone above and beyond to save lives and other acts of bravery

  37. And the wind up…………. SNIFF!
