Biden Awards Liz Cheney With Presidential Citizens Medal Despite Human Rights Record

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : Her opposition to same-sex marriage may cause friction with some of her fellow recipients of the Presidential Citizens Medal, contradicting the Biden administration's claim that the recipients of the award this year are somehow bonded by the same ideals.
43% : While she may have shifted her stance on same-sex marriage, she has yet to reconcile her objectionable views on a host of other matters, including her support for the use of torture as an interrogation method -- a process that research has shown for many years to be an ineffective means to obtain information.
6% : Because of her support for torture -- as well as her bigotry against Muslims, her warhawk attitudes, and her spreading baseless birtherism conspiracy theories about former President Barack Obama -- the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) condemned both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for "sanitizing" Cheney's record as she campaigned with Harris during the presidential election in opposition to Trump.
5% : Cheney's support for Harris and her opposition to Trump "does not wash away Rep. Cheney's support for crimes like torture," read a statement from CAIR National Deputy Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell.
