Democratic hopeful Joe Biden slammed conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh as undeserving of the Presidential Medal of Freedom and criticized President Trump’s motives for awarding it at the State of the Union on Tuesday night.
Biden, speaking to CNN’s Anderson Cooper at a town hall event in New Hampshire on Wednesday, said Trump’s decision to award the highest civilian honor in the nation to Limbaugh was “driven more by trying to maintain [his] right-wing political credentials than it is anything else.”
The award was bestowed on Limbaugh just hours after he announced he is battling stage 4 lung cancer, which will cause him to miss airtime in the coming months.
