At the White House Thursday afternoon President Joe Biden awarded Megan Rapinoe, the co-captain of the U.S. national women’s soccer team, the Medal of Freedom. During remarks, he praised her as one of the greatest athletes of all-time.
While there's no doubt Rapinoe is one of the best female athletes in the world, she also hates the United States of America. She has repeatedly stood on foreign soil while refusing to participate in the National Anthem before games -- all while representing Team USA.
Starting in 2016 and in solidarity with former NFL player Colin Kapernik, Rapinoe stopped saying the National Anthem and classified the country as sexist, racist and unequal.
"Megan Rapinoe used to sing. With grace and gusto, on fields from Frankfurt to Florida to Montreal, eyelids occasionally fluttering. Her chest would rise and fall with the trumpets on the 'Star Spangled Banner,' lyrics rolling off her tongue, patriotism oozing from her entire figure," Yahoo News reported in 2019. "Nowadays, when the trumpets perk up, and when immense pride swells within the 10 women around her, Rapinoe doesn't flinch. She stands and stares, lips pursed, cheekbones taut, hands clasped behind her back, face expressionless. 'I'll probably never put my hand over my heart,' she says matter-of-factly. 'I'll probably never sing the national anthem again.'"
As noted, the Medal of Freedom is the highest honor a civilian can receive from the President.
From Rush Limbaugh to Megan Rapinoe. This nation is falling farther and faster.
We have no functional southern border.
Are we still even a nation?
Ethel Rosenberg must have been unavailable
They misspelled Amerika
And YOU misspelled AmeriKKKa.
Must be great to be a democrat. Your candidate always does exactly what is expected of him. Sometimes it just not fun being a Republican, you never can tell what your candidate might do later he us elected.
Biden is just not very smart. It’s sad that our great nation has been overtaken by such mental midgets.
The f’tards probably did it to degrade the award’s meaning. Probably did it just because Trump gave it to Rush.
That’s what the left does... destroy and filth up anything nice that normal people build.
That was pure class.
What the left does is vile and disgusting.
If she hated America she’d reject the award.
Just another fraud.
Sí.
How much more of a hypocritical sell-out can she possibly be. She has stated over and over again that she hates this country... and then willingly accepts one of the country’s ostensibly highest national medals.
This is exactly like John Kerry supposedly showing the world how he threw away his Vietnam medals, but secretly threw away something else and privately kept his medals.
When all is said and done, these people hold no values. They live unto themselves alone, and alone they will stand.
As meaningful as the Noble Piece of Crap prize.
The Presidential Medal of Freedom became a joke years ago. It gets awarded to anyone and everyone.
You nailed it. I was SO thrilled to watch get the award and see his humility and tears.
Rapinoe is an American-hating skank. Why would Biden choose her? Why would she accept it? Damn, vile hypocrites.
And she’s a “gay” “married” to another woman, too!!! I have no idea about her religion, but she spreads heresy around the world! Just as biden and the Dims want!!!!
Biden, following the woke political plan, has no choice. His base is smaller and he has to feed them. He’ll be visiting transgender surgery centers next to try to maintain their votes.
See, maybe COVID isn't so bad after all.
Testing positive can get you out of a lot of things you don't really want to do.
