Joe Biden ignores Trump's Liz Cheney lambasting by giving her a medal ⏤ and she's not alone

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

70% : Cheney will receive the medal -- which was created by President Richard Nixon in 1969 and is the country's second highest civilian honor after the Presidential Medal of Freedom -- alongside a host of notable figures, including attorney Mary Bonauto, who fought to legalize same-sex marriage, and Evan Wolfson, a leader of the marriage equality movement.
32% : As a refresher, the inquiry that followed saw Cheney lead a committee investigation into the events of January 6, which concluded in a final report that Trump had engaged in a "multi-part conspiracy" to overturn the lawful results of the 2020 election.
19% : It also concluded that Trump had failed to stop his supporters from unleashing violence on the Capitol, with Thompson declaring that the president-elect was the person who "lit that fire."
13% : In November, Trump called Cheney, the wife of former Vice President Dick Cheney, a "war hawk," and suggested having her stand in front of a rifle with "nine barrels shooting at her.
13% : Trump later claimed in a social media post that Cheney had broken "federal laws" during her January 6 inquiry and called for her to be "investigated by the FBI.
11% : " That prompted a response from Cheney, who described Trump as a "petty, vindictive, cruel [and] unstable man," but the lingering animosity as a result of the Capitol riot inquiry didn't stop there.
11% : In December, Trump said Cheney and Thompson did something "inexcusable" as part of a "committee of political thugs," and declared that they "should go to jail" for their involvement in the inquiry.
10% : Naturally, Cheney's involvement in the investigation -- as well as her later fervent support of Trump's former presidential opponent, Kamala Harris -- made her a target for Trump, who regularly lambasted her on the campaign trail.
