President Joe Biden honored Michelle Yeoh with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor bestowed by the United States, recognizing her for her pioneering work in the entertainment industry [1,2]. However, the decision to honor Yeoh was overshadowed by debates over other recipients of the medal, such as Nancy Pelosi, a leading Democratic politician [3,4,5]. Critics pointed out that Biden also praised Pelosi despite her controversial political positions, including her handling of the pandemic relief funding [6,7]. The overall list of recipients included diverse names from politics, activism, sports, and entertainment [8,9,10,11].
Biden's distribution of the Presidential Medal of Freedom raised questions and criticism for allegedly being politically motivated, especially for honoring figures like Pelosi, former Vice President Al Gore, and former Secretary of State John Kerry, among others [12,13]. The award of the medal came in an election year, adding a political tint to the gesture [14,15]. Other notable honorees included Katie Ledecky, Phil Donahue, Mike Bloomberg, and Jim Thorpe [16,17]. The decision sparked discussions about the rationale behind the selection of recipients [18,19].
The event was covered widely by media outlets [20,21,22]. While some recipients were celebrated for their contributions and achievements, the choice to honor certain political figures led to a polarizing reaction within the public sphere [23,24,25]. The list of awardees reflected a mix of figures from different sectors, leading to a broader conversation on the criteria for awarding such a prestigious honor [26,27].
