Even after he tried to overthrow Rome and grab power?
“The Medal may be awarded by the President as provided in this order to any person who has made an especially meritorious contribution to (1) the security or national interests of the United States, or (2) world peace, or (3) cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.” [source](https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/executive-order-11085-the-presidential-medal-freedom)
Note (3). This is why the Medal is given to Denzel, Ralph Lauren, Anna Wintour, etc.
And you get a medal! And you get a medal!
Shit, it’s too late probably, but if we’re doing actors, they should have given one to Danny Trejo. That guy really reaches out and makes an effort to do a lot of good.
If Donald Trump can be president, why not give a medal to Scooby Doo or Ronald McDonald too?
Not sure why people are hating on this. Denzel is an accomplished actor and did significant humanitarian work. Highlighting a positive black role model before we get four years of unraveling civil rights is a worthy use of presidential discretion on the part of Biden.
His plan to take over the White House is getting closer
We who have fallen salute you Macrinus 🐎 🌴
Something about spelling it “honoured” when talking about a medal from the President of the United States just seems… wrong.
JFC who didn’t get one?
Damn. Can I get one too since we’re in a giving mood?
