As the Jan. 6 hearings have revealed major new evidence and testimony, some Beltway elites have begun heaping praise on Trump officials, including Fmr. Trump WH Counsel Pat Cipollone, who went so far as to suggest that Mike Pence should receive the Medal of Freedom for refusing to go along with the coup plot.
MSNBCs Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber responds: People who have been awarded this medal by presidents of both parties are people we should look to as doing more than the bare minimum of not committing crimes, but people who showed civic courage, like the late John Lewis To paraphrase Three Six Mafia: keep the Medal of Freedom out of your mouth, until you learn a bit more about true civic courage.

that one.
Honestly, as he gushed about Pence I realized he was setting himself up for the possibility of a future position within a Pence administration- like thatll happen.
