Joe Biden Rips Trump For Giving Rush Limbaugh The Medal Of Freedom

From the article:

Biden said in a statement provided to PoliticusUSA, “In one fell swoop, Trump delivered a speech worthy of the worst demagogue and turned his constitutional obligation to inform Congress about the state of our union into an episode of reality television. He even awarded our nation’s highest civilian honor, not to the real American hero in the gallery — one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airmen—but a conservative media personality who has done as much as Trump himself to divide our nation. It was a shameful display.”

A) One is a Nazi Gas Bag and the other is a dirigible.

The repeal of the Fairness Doctrine by RayGun has allowed this corrosive asshole and his protégés to infect the minds of millions for 30 plus years. Ironically, much the way they view public education and colleges. We are at war.
